ah, those welfare mothers who sit around and breed because the government pays them not to work...
i've never met one.
no one i've ever challenged to produce one has done so.
the economics of it don't make sense either... the extra money gained by having another extra baby (if any) doesn't balance the cost of feeding it.
which leads me to the conclusion that they are a figment of Republican imagination.
white middle-class men who defraud the system... now THEY are a reality...

I've met them. I went to elementary school with their kids. I still encounter the children of welfare mothers whose full attitude on life is 'I don't have to learn to read, I'm going to go on welfare like my mother.'
They exist, but you have to go beyond upper-middle-class suburbia to find them.

Just go to North Philly DSL you will find a bunch of them.
Most of them think its a way of life because it was good enough for their parents.
And they all complain that "The Man" is trying to keep them down.
In all fairness, i know 2 personaly that got the fuck out of that way of life. took the money that was handed to them for school and put it to good use. Finished collage and never looked back. Find that the people left behind are not even worth the time to help because They wont help themselves get out of the life they are in.
Kevin Anderson is one. His mother and 2 of his sisters are lifetime welfare mothers. AFAIK he has not talked to any of them since 89.
Jamal Brown is the other. His mother is dead (crack od, HE is raising his little brother with NO goverment help) and his sister is still on welfare and just had her 4th kid (she is 26) by a 3rd father.
So yes, i know people on both sides.

Also, welfare would be even worse if the republicans hadn't shoved the welfare reform bill down Clinton's throat (although Clinton calmly took credit for it himself in the state of the union address).

I never deleted any of your posts, CK.
The most I have done is publicly tell you to keep it on topic and not insult your oppnents directly.
