And on a personal note.. i know people who directly rip off the system.. get VA benefits, get WIC, housing assitance, etc and believe that this is better than work.. I have been called a fool by these people because I believe in pride, hard work, dedication, etc.. they called me a fool because I'm a wage slave and they are "doing things there way in life".

A solution?
Not sure but what would help is to stop paying people to have children.
Every time I enter a grocery store I see at least one pregnant person using welfare who has a child in a stroller. If you can't afford one child then why get pregnant?
My opinion is mine. If you don't like it then too bad.
I concur. Corporations that rake in BILLIONS every year, receive more welfare than anyone. They just call it subsidies. Sure, the system gets abused, but we all know damn well it's not the majority. I've said it before and I'll keep saying it, poor people are not the problem. And for everyone bitching and moaning about your tax dollars going towards welfare, you have a lot to learn. Better do some research and find out where your money is really going. Black ops budgets and foreign aid come to mind, and that's just a drop in the bucket. Wanna be pissed off about your tax dollars being wasted? Tell ya where to start. Start with the assholes in d.c. that don't do anything AT ALL to deserve 6 figure incomes, drivers, lavish events, dinners, trips, high priced hookers, etc. And it's all on YOUR dime, and get this, they get paid and don't PRODUCE a mfkn thing! Now that's what I call welfare. Get pissed about that. Star for you, V.

Gotta love class warfare at its finest.
Focus on the poor while the real villains and bandits make out like the bandits they are:

Yep, it is the poor and the poorly educated that are scamming the system, all those minorities.

Yeah seriously, how dare he judge an entire group by the actions of a few!
Oh wait a minute. Is that not the same thing you do to the police on a regular basis.
Not too fun and is kind of offensive when it is directed towards you, huh?
