Why is it a cop out? Because it requires you accepting a burden for one of your pet causes? I think all animals should be given homes to live, there should be mandated neutering and spaying of animals and no kill shelters. However, I don't expect others to have a mandated amount taken from their paycheck so animals could live a certain way I deem appropriate. You're mandated care makes them wards of the state. And I don't think they've all made some glorious mistake, I just happen to be fine with the idea that not all people live at the same levels as mandated by the state.

Without actually getting into it I would imagine the game assumes a 40 hour work week.

Just about every successful person I know works way more than 40 hours... heck, I work 70+ hours a week because it is MY business, MY reputation, MY career, MY family, MY income, MY legacy. Therefore, I want and will have the best for all those "my's."

People tend to reap what they sow... just like in sports, those who truly put in the work and do right succeed, those who don't complain about those who do.

Will not thank you for your tax dollars, but will for your donations to charities.

We're what you want, App - "private' entities that can and do provide vital/expensive services at a fraction of what the government can, thus reducing your tax burden. You better hope I don't quit my low paying/high hour/high stress job and go into the private sector to really fleece the hard working middle class.

Well, we shouldn't expect those making $9 an hour to give up a work/life balance to try and get ahead, blueballs. Especially when they can keep getting a handout from those of us who haven't worked less than 60 hours a week in 20 years.

My kid joined the program, mom got $100, I gave $20 to a coworker, bought groceries, had to pay $100 to fix a window, got on food stamps, had to move, fix my tooth. At the end I had $815 (but rent is due the next day and that was $760)

How do you know the majority of poor are not working their asses off to be like Blueballs?

Z, you do know that almost all handouts now require that the recipient work, right?

His POINT, which you whiffed at, was that this program ASSUMES only 40 hours per week....there'd be a lot more money coming in if it were realistic and calculated income at 60-70 hours/week. Or two jobs. :coffee:

Made it through the second time with $529 to spare. Gave the dog to the pound, put the kid in the gifted progam, lived on hotdogs, spaghetti and top ramen, left my kid in the free lunch program, skipped out on the free concert and used free wi-fi at the public library. Opted out of healthcare early on in the process, but I was in a temp admin job anyways so it isn't something that would be offered to a temp.
