Sad part is, I can almost guarantee that she is making more than 700 per week. And that she is working more than part time. So she is receiving full time pay as well as a government stipend. This is why America is broke partly.

Decisions, decisions:

Bounce a baby on her lap or let someone bounce her on his lap...

What probably led to to this so-called lifestyle is $$$. The family/social structure break down you whine about exists every bit as much if not more amongst the patrons of these clubs, why are you so willing to give them a pass?

How is it you know she wasn't widowed or abandoned by a partner to fend for herself? Which she's at least making an attempt at doing.

I don't know the answer. But what I DO know is that she's 24 years old and has been stripping for 6 years, which means she's been dancing since she was 18. While its pure speculation, i'd be willing to bet anything that this girl did not have 3 children while married to one father. It simply doesn't fit in her story.

All of this while raising three children, and yes, dancing naked for men. But lets be clear...the entire story is an embodiment of where this nation is headed when it openly and willing accommodates this behavior....no matter what the profession is.

how is she exhibiting a lack of disregard and personal responsibility? she has a job, she is raising her children. it is just her lifestyle you don't like and her getting disability check is your reason to point out her seedy life style. even if we could go back to the days when women were in the home, sex was done with the lights out and people went to church every sunday. people were still stripping, being poor and having children. changing morals is not the problem, society just turned on the lights is all

So, it sounds like from this reply you find absolutely nothing wrong with particular example? Is that what i'm reading?

As long as the government keeps handing out money like candy on Halloween people will game the system.

Like my mom use to say, "We need to starve a generation".
