Oh, and I don't mind paying for people that need help to better themselves, but when I was struggling before i got the job I have now, we couldn't afford the rent in our area, but his magazine he has now "grossed" too much to live in the lower cost housing, it doesn't matter that all the $ the magazine makes goes back into it, and nets basically nothing. We couldn't get a house loan cause we weren't "poor" enough for government assistance and I just started my new job and he was self employed. We were screwed and no one was there to bail us out, or give us a helping hand. And when I'm at work i hear people talking about selling their food stamps so they can buy their cigarettes and beer, and trying to get my boss to lie to their apartment complex about their starting work date so they don't have to pay last month's rent (which she doesn't do for them by the way), I get pissed, yes, I don't want to pay MORE of my hard earned money that i struggle enough with to go to waste. I say cut welfare and MAKE people take the peeon jobs or see what its really like to not have a free ride.
