Many indolents have made the decision that welfare pays better than working, just as many have found that begging pays better than work (also no taxes). This is unsustainable, of course, as more and more are riding in the wagon and less and less are pulling. There is a great day of reckoning coming for America. As unemployment for those who really want to work continues, society's tolerance for the professional parasites will decrease.
Corporations historically and currently take more welfare money than "the lazy" who are on welfare.
But generally speaking the corporation also pays taxes, provides jobs, provides services/products-- whereas the "the lazy" who are on welfare generally do not provide anything back to those footing the welfare bill.
I would rather have a corporation that may have received a subsidy to operate in an area that will hire a few hundred people and provide wages/jobs and opportunities to American workers versus having a couple hundred people on the dole who do not add anything back to society.
I am ALL for providing assistance, but I think like the corporation, people on the government's dime should be required to give back in community works programs (not so completely dissimilar from the programs Roosevelt did).
If this is your outlook now, just think where you will be at 45 years old! This is assuming you are still quite young at still living at home with your parents. If you are 45 years old and still living with your parents then I am sure they are quite proud of you.
I was out on the Atlantic City boardwalk one fine day, cavorting about, having fun casino hopping. Out on the boardwalk you have the usual shabby array of panhandlers hustling for their next drink or whatever. Some of them are a little "rough around the edges" and sort of dirty and smelly looking. I doubt they look like this specifically for their panhandling job to gain suitable sympathy and they actually go home at the end of the day to a hot shower at their condo at night... I think they are REALLY LIKE THIS!
There are the greater share of them that are homeless and unemployable because this is the path they chose. Hanging out being lazy, staying too high on whatever to function properly and lacking any ambition or goals in life is what they evolved to somehow. They whine about how rough they have it, want people to hand them money but do nothing about their situation because they are just too far gone. I've often wondered what the beginnings of all that were. When they were young did they contemplate food stamps and public assistance as a career instead of pursuing educational and career goals that would have enhanced their quality of life a bit more?
The world is getting to be a tougher place to achieve economic comfort and reasonable quality of life factors and yet many young people seem to be oblivious to the need for education beyond what is "standard bill of fare" from our public school system and the need to develop a strong work ethic early on. To think that as long as you have a playstation in front of you and an endless supply of doritos you are set for life means you may be in for a rude awakening at some point.
To deliberately DECIDE to permanently live off public assistance and give up looking for work, one has to be a total loser. And people will pick up on that.That's not what it's there for. It's temporary help (short or long term) in times of great need, not a "career" choice.
People everywhere who actually need the safety net are very pleased that you are looking to contribute to the "welfare queen", "entitlement" stereotype and are asking around to find a way to be one of the ones who ruin it for everyone else

Agreed ... I could not have said it better.
