Sorry, I don't know the millions of people working minimum wage jobs to label them worthless failures. I tend to chose the path of least hypocrisy.

You obviously have different moral values than me so this argument is pointless. Have a nice day.

Welfare mom creates million dollar biz: how she did it on Shine (http://shine.yahoo.com/event/poweryourfuture/welfare-mom-creates-million-dollar-biz-how-she-did-it-2573956/ - broken link)
yup yup. For every one woman like this, there are probably 10,000 who are glued to the couch 24/7 watching reality television and eating Swanson Frozen Dinners and Dr. Pepper.

What's the incentive now?
What's the incentive to hire those on welfare? Is their suddenly a demand for employees that society in general deems as lazy and unattractive?

Bravo, cheers galore and kudos galore to her and her children.

20Years!! Have you forgotten you meal/beverage combinations?? We both know that Swanson Frozens Dinners should be paired with a nice Merlot, not with Dr. Pepper!

Depends on the business you decide to start. My b/f and I started a business out of one of our bedrooms in our rented house. My two teen sons had to share a small bedroom for 3 years. Now we've moved into an actual office and the boys have their own rooms.

The business we started we only needed our computers and phones. We've been growing leaps and bounds, in THIS economy, for three years already and are continuing to grow. No, it wasn't easy at first, and we had to live on beans and rice for a long time. But now, we're doing well for ourselves and will continue to do better as we grow. Hopefully soon, we'll be able to hire someone even!
