Who thinks welfare should be only for people that cannot work, instead of people that are lazy to get a job?

Absolutely. When you get something for nothing, and then are told over and over again that you actually have earned it by the simple fact that you were born, it destroys your ability to take care of yourself.\n\nThere should be no free ride for any able-bodied person. We can supplement income for people in bad situations, but 1) they need to work toward actually living independently, and 2) there should be a definite short-term end to any assistance program.\n\nLook at the people hurt by the hurricanes. The people on welfare sat and waited to be rescued. They sat and waited to be placed in temporary homes. They sat and waited for someone to find them a new home and a new government check.\n\nThe people who actually had jobs and work for a living planned for the disaster, picked them selves up immediately, and got on with their lives.\n\nNeed any more proof?

Yep, but it will never happen until people stop getting a check because of their own poor life choices. Unfortunately all of societies parasites can vote, and since they don't have jobs, they have all the time they need  to make it to the voting booths. So, until society starts making welfare recipients feel like the failures they are again, expect higher taxes.

I believe in it to TEMPORARY help families but I'm tired of seeing people abuse it.\nLike the people that get it and never work and they keep having babies with different guys etc.\ni see people on welfare that have better shoes and clothes and jewelery then I have. That makes me mad.

I do not mind paying taxes it is the back bone of our nation. what I do not like is those who cheat or find ways not to pay plus those who get a free ride on our taxes as welfare,food stamps and other free gives. I think everyone should be made to work to receive these free rides. I know some are not able to work but even a person in a wheelchair could do something.

The problem with the system is that it's difficult and highly impractical to track each welfare recipient down to see whether they're trying to better themself or not. \n\nSome people deserve and need welfare, many do not...\n\nI should mention that I received WIC and Medical Assistance for my son while I finished college. Now I have my degree, I no longer need it, and I am financially stable on my own.  I am thankful that the program was in place to help me when I desperately needed it.

Money  for nothing and the drinks are free.  Lazy and stupid.  And liberals fight laws limiting welfare.  \n\nKeep working, millions on welfare are dependant on you!  \n\nSilly liberal, paychecks are for those who WORK!

people on welfare need something to talk about and unlike people who work they cant talk or bitch about there job so they bitch about welfare or bills that working people are paying for anyway.I imagin that theses people will be givin you all kinds of answers about this and all I ask is how the hell they got a computer.

More Dem's are on welfare. If you had republicans saying you needed to go get a job and maybe think before you got pregnant again or a democrat saying you needed more help with free medical, food stamps, child care, energy assistance,WIC, etc. Who do you think welfare people or going to vote for? If they vote.\n\nI'm not rich. Very poor. But I believe in taking charge of my own life and not expect taxpayers to give me anything.

No. I think if they are on welfare, there must be a reason why they are on it. If they are on the system, they should do whatever it takes to get out of it. I would really like to see my tax dollars being used for people who accualy need to be on welfare as oppose to ppl who take advantage of it.

are you judging someone is my q? but to answer you , welfare is there for anyone whos entitled to it and not for us to decide who gets it and who doesnt , and homeschooling isnt that easy u know and i applaude anyone who does that verses sending them to public school which will corrupt thier minds

Social Services is a better word for welfare. Just state that it is a free income for those that can not find work and are not drawing unemployment. It is sponsored by the goverment. But, the working man pays for it. Some time it runs in families,like a virus. Social services give more to people than the working man can. there are many working men out there that don't have money in their pockets, can't send their children to the dentist. or get eye glasses as they need them. Welfare clients can get just about anything they want whether needed or not. These people should be made to get  out and rake leaves,shovel side walks,mow lawns, for senior citizens and disabled people. To earn aleast some of their income. If I dare say, most of them are lazy. I used to deliver mail, the box was not shoveled out, The check was in the mail for them and I thought to be nice I would try to pull up and deposit the check. Well, I got stuck in over a foot of snow, While I was trying to get out, there were 4 adults watching out the window . Ugggggggggggh

it is very bad now\n\nmy father lost his job during a strike, he had broken his hip 7 years ago, SO he could've just applied for welfare, BUT my dad went to therapy and got back in shape, and he continues to work hard \n\nbut, i know someone who had a back problem, and QUIT his construction job, applied for welfare, and now he gets the following\n\nFREE HEALTHCARE, FREE PERSCRIPTION DRUGS, FOOD STAMPS, $550 A MONTH, AND HE DOES NOT PAY FOR CAR INSURANCE OR GAS, THAT IS ******* REDICULOUS\n\nwe need another welfare reform now, abolishing welfare for illegal aliens, lazy people, or people who fake disabilities\n\nit should go for REALLY disabled Americans

One in favor is that it helps people in need.  Some people may need temporary assistance in order to become self sufficient.

Lazy!! You mean the people who pay the price for "free enterprise".  Over 90% who get assistance are handicapped, children and the elderly! THEY ARE LAZY???\n\nYou are a Bunch of sick people!!\n\nThe REAL lazy are the rich, who gets $93,000 of my money put in their pockets by Bush's tax cuts to the wealthy!!!\n\nI have never seen a bunch of self-righteous pathetic bunch of people in my life!\n\nAnd what would you know about a homeless Vet, suffering from PTSD, among other things? NADA!!\n\nFifty percent of the Budget goes to the Military and to PAY THE INTEREST on Bush's 8 TRILLION 400 BILLION dollar deficit!\n\nYea, lets build another sub! We need that more than we need to end poverty and homelessness in our own country!  Oh hell, lets give Congress another pay raise!!

I think they should get out of welfare for corporations.  I do not think they should stop helping individual citizens who are in need and have no means to meet that need.  A nation, any nation is only so strong as it's weakest members.  If a nation cannot take care of it's own citizens in need then it is a nation with nothing to offer the world.

What scarcity of jobs, the economy is just booming, just ask any repuglican, you are one of them to lazy to go to work like they say. Isn't it a shame that in America, in a time of war that there are people that can't find jobs. It is supply side economics that is causing it. Give a tax break to a rich person he will eat for a day but give anything to the poor and it is because they are no good.....
