Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Welfare pays better than working

I agree 1000%. There should be an iron clad cut off time frame for any of it with 12 months MAX.

Yup. It pays significantly more than working. I'd guess that it would take at least a $15 an hour job to keep even with the amount an unwed mother draws through welfare. Considering that many unwed mothers didn't graduate high school and would be lucky to command a minimum wage job, it's no wonder that they choose welfare over work. It costs them money to take a job, I'd do the same if I were in their position.

Agree completely. All Hillary has to do is show up and preach to the sponges and she's in.

I have been saying this for years. I used to have predominantly Section 8 recipient tenants years ago in Dade. I got so sick of their lies and defrauding the govt, I trimmed that down to 2. And those 2 are only still there because I know every facet of their income, family needs, and social behavior.

I am speaking from many years experience here. In my experience, most of those receiving govt housing assistance are defrauding the program. Read that again. MOST OF THOSE RECEIVING GOVT HOUSING ASSISTANCE ARE DEFRAUDING THE PROGRAM.

I'll give you a prime, shining example that occurs in a vast majority of cases. Baby momma has 2 to several kids and says she can't support them on her income and applies for "assistance". Baby momma gets her voucher (estimated rent supplement based on documents she's submitted to local county housing authority office about her income, child support, assets, etc). She finds a place suitable to her and goes through the process to move in.

Baby Momma ALWAYS moves Baby Daddy or current Daddy Love in with her lickety split before the ink dries on the "assistance" docs.

Oh, and if that pisses you off, some Baby Mommas portray themselves as the matriarch of the hood and start collecting other kids, and harvesting envelopes full of even more EBT cards.

And if you don't think the same phugking thing happens on the Spaneesh side of the tracks, I got news for ya.

Your tax dollars at work.

In order for someone to receive welfare, food stamps, and wicks cards and all of the other benefits they're cashing in on, they should:

be able to pass random drug tests. That would remove many democratic voters from the welfare system so it won't happen.

have to have a birth control implant and have no more children while receiving benefits. That would limit the number of children for future generations that are on welfare which would remove democratic voters from the welfare system so it won't happen.

have a time limit. Again, that would remove democratic voters from the welfare system

not be able to vote on the grounds of conflict of interest. See above

A couple of simple rules would cut down on this real quick.

In my AO we have the jobless welfare, but mostly it is employed welfare. With such a low wage base we have a lot of families with two parents working, sometimes multiple jobs, and still below poverty level. Many get wic or access cards. I used to be quick to judge when I saw the card, but now see many working people with them. Have to sometimes wonder is this weflare for the people, or the business that employ them. When my father hired a man, he had to be able to pay him a decent wage, or he didn't hire. Today many folks hire as cheap as possible, and let the government take care of the employee.
