I think the problem is (at least this is what I laugh at) is all these disser who swear that all people on public assistance have 12 babies by 10 different daddies (average family on PA has 1.8 kids), are on welfare for life (36 months is the national average) and go to disney (so untrue). So it always makes me wonder exactly where people hang out at.
The second one I love is how every one goes to the supermarket and knows exactly who the welfare/food stamp repients are and how they are living their life. case in point the one about how some one at the store was using food stamps but getting fancy manicures. Sorry but unless you've been stalking that person how could you possible know this. I go to the grocery store 2-3 times a week and I couldn't remember how the person in front paid even if you offered me a million dollars.
So personally I think people are just repeating the popular tv stereotypes. sort of when you see a fat person eating a donught you immediately judge them.
I totally know there are some abuses in the system but personally I think the poor and welfare people are easy targets.
Gov christie just got a whole bucket of money for sandy victims yet no one is screaming about those people getting government aide? So we have a serious stereotype problem. Israel just got another couple of billion dollars for aide yet that's perfectly ok, we've been forking money to them for ages yet I don't hear you screaming about us taking care of them from cradle to grave.
So basically we want to "choose" who we feel is worthy and who is not.
Bold - proof? So welfare recipients have less children than the average American woman?
