Society's money addiction disgusts me.

Helping out the homeless? Giving people a place to stand? Doing good in this word? So long as it doesn't cost [i]me[/i] a penny. This mentality pisses me off. Why do people hate welfare? Because they have to chip in an extra ten or so dollars a month. God forbid you show some compassion. And yet we always toot the trumpet of "poverty is bad", and "goodwill toward all men on Earth". God, that's phony. Anyone else agree?

    I think the thing that a lot of people have problems with welfare is that the purpose of it is that you should use every single cent of it to help you get a job, but it's when you get the under-achievers who don't want to contribute anything to society and who are content with being tit-sucking lazy asses that start to piss people off. The point of Welfare is to provide you the basic necessities so that you can find yourself a job and make your own money. This is the corrupt thing about welfare. You can make anywhere from $1000-2500 a month on it. Now if God forbid you should go out and get a job, you will end up earning around $1200 a month at $7.50 an hour, 40 hour work weeks. So you tell me, would you rather make money doing nothing, or work and make the same or even less than doing nothing? Exactly. There is no incentive for people on welfare to work, and this is why it is so corrupt. This is exactly what communism is, and I'm not trying to scare people. That's what welfare is: communism. Anyone who tries to argue against that is mistaken. Now do I believe that welfare is a good thing? Yes, however I only believe it's good when it provides an incentive to work. When it provides no incentive to work, like ours does, it is very bad.
