Re read the post.

Welfare SHOULD BE there for those who are honest and need it, not for those who don't. The people that ride the system that are in good health, and can work like the rest of us have to are the ones that are causing the overload. You,( I assume) I and most of the readers of this thread are covering their butts every time we get paid. Yes, that's our taxes at work.

BTW, I too have good folks I know on welfare as well, one aunt and an older friend who worked until their bodies gave out.

So don't give me your BS, If people are doping but can make it to work- their choice, their life. If they are doping and expect me to pay for it- that's different, that money is not free and yes I would rather give it to someone who is just getting by or has a child or relative who is in need of care or to someone who has a debilitating disease.

By the way, my own mother worked until she was 75 and then quit her job to take care of my father. If this 5ft tall 100lb 75 year old woman can make it to work every day, why can't the folks in good health that are in their 30's and 40's do the same?

IMO
