Thread: am i wrong?

Quick question. The main reason i came to these forums is to ask ppl's views on a few issues and read what e1 has on there minds about politics.

My wifes cousin "lazy ass" she decided because my wife and i just had a baby she would have her Boyfriend give her one lol. well my issue with this is. the girl doesnt have a job and is living off our tax paying dollars. How and Why is this able to be. No job but get all benefits healthcare, food stamps, WIC, and welfare. Imo ppl that get all these hand outs should HAVE TO WORK. at least fuggin try. "sry im getting pist writing this lol"
My wife and i both worked thru her pregnancy we got no help no healthcare help no WIC "and i thought all women got wic" so my question again is am i wrong to b pist about this? or should i just sit back and say well cg at least sum1 i know is getting the taxs i pay. LOL can u feel the sarcasm

A good Liberal country has to support unwed mothers. If you dont
people might realize the two thousand year old religious tradition of
promoting marriage isn't just mumbo-jumbo, its actually common
sense, just like discouraging sex out of wedlock.

I used to work part-time at a grocery store, and I must say, I agree 100%. I cannot count the amount of people that I have seen on food stamps, WIC, or other government-funded financial programs that have gone abused. I see families where every member is carrying a cell-phone, and the only groceries they buy are things like Doritos, Oreos, and assorted frozen foods.

I do believe, however, that WIC has gotten it right. You may think that these women are getting free food for doing no work, but realistically, they do not receive much. WIC checks are thoroughly monitored -- they must be used within a month period and they can only be used for very specific items, most notably things like cereal, baby food, and juice. I believe that every government funded financial aide system should run this way. Just as the OP stated, these people are basically receiving money for free, and they are doing little-to-nothing to earn what they are receiving.

i have np with WIC users, im just sayin that i think that you should have to work "that pays taxs" to be able to get it. My wife and I both work and when she had the baby it was up to me to keep money coming in. We tried to get WIC for baby cereal/food but they said i made too much. Im sry but 1 person making 11.50 a hour imo is not too much.

I absolutely agree. A person should definitely have to work and pay some form of taxes in order to receive WIC checks. I was just commenting on the fact that I like the way WIC runs its system. I believe that Food stamps and the like should follow suit.

You think that is bad, come here to Ga and see the illegals get wic, ebd and welfare.......they arent even friggin citizens. I would rather a US citizen get socializm help than a goddamn illegal.

Turn her in and turn her boyfriend in. If she's pregnant she may not be required to work, but the boyfriend is certainly liable for her expenses. Find out what the laws are and do something about this situation besides complain.

She shouldn't be entering a pregnancy if she doesn't have a job in the first place. She needs to take some form of responsibility before you tackles the biggest responsibilty of all.

I don't think she should be entitled to benefits just because she is un-web. If she has a partner she's not a single parent. Also I can't stand dole-bludgers they really piss me off. I agree with you, I think you should slap her or something though.
