well I'm very sorry for your loss growler but this goes to show that we can't generalize people on public programs. I just don't like the whole demonization of people who are using welfare, especially being somebody who has been in a hard working family that has been on food stamps. I work 40+ hours a week in the summer to pay for school and my mom used to handle 80% of the claims in her insurance agency...all for 30,000 a year...supporting me and my brother.
I am grateful for the military. Sadly The bulk of the money that has been spent in Iraq and Afghanistan didn't go to our deserving troops. It went to contractors on terrible contracts and research and buying new bells and whistles. Furthermore, I don't know if we are any more secure coming up on 10 years after 911
and, how is tax payers PAYING FOR HEALTH CARE "sucking off the tit"? we all pay for it, so we ALL can use it. sure, some don't pay as much because they don't have the means...but in the end we all get health care. Whatever happened to helping our fellow man? I think it's a travestry that in the richest nation in the world some of our citizens, like my neighbors who are some of the nicest people i know, have to have a bake sale so becky can stay alive while shes fighting cancer.
