Why isn't she reaping the benefits? Plus she is not white, and eligible for much more off the gubment teat? why does she do it? Another one is a widow who's husband barely qualified for social security, her husband died and she never worked. A 70 year old women who also works two jobs, and helps a daughter married to a dead beat dad. I had a fairly good paying job, worked all the over time I could, drove a taxi part time, and delivered pizza as often as I could, thats why i was able to afford my boats and fishing tackle. Now I know too late my wife paid for my "good life". We have folks on welfare who are there not of their choosing. Gather up all these multiple fathers, who don't pay, and ock their asses up, till the sterilization day.
I thinks there would be more folks working, if the minimum wage would go to or above 10.00 an hour. the Government assistance makes a better life for them, than working for 7 bucks an hour. I have a good friend that works for walmart, my friend has been with walmart for 25 years and makes a good living there. but my friend told me they cut the workers down to 4 and a half hours a day, and some of them are driving 30 miles one way to work. my friend told me some of the workers said they feel like they are working for nothing after buying gas and lunch.
