my thought process is that if having welfare means that some good, needy ppl will be greatly helped then im willing to sacrifice the fact that idiots will abuse the system
i think things like this become personalized. i know my opinion has changed greatly. i worked with a woman through college. she was in her late 40s, had been in a physically abusive relationship for yrs, had leukemia, needed blood transfusions on a semi reglar basis etc. that lady busted her ass at two jobs to pay for her medical bills. she lived in a trailer with a bunch of cats.
another coworker had a deadbeat ex husband who didnt pay child support for 2 kids and was in and out of jail, takin under the table construction money when he was able to work.
my point being i saw those ppl work hard for what little they had and it still wouldnt have been enough without some assistance.
people abuse every system. theres always loopholes or shady stuff with everything and i certainly dont want to paint the majority of welfare recipients to be saints or evil either. theres plenty of ppl who both need the help and are legit tryin to better their lives and be productive members of society and plenty of ppl who are doin the opposite. they are the riff raff that come into the small town bar from their section 8 housin across the street and start fights every wknd.
so not sure where im goin here but yea i support welfare
