Confessions Of a Welfare Mother

[Grizalltheway]

This is the BIGGEST REPUKE LIE OF THEM ALL! Every black welfare mother is living high on the Hawg. I guess you have never been to the projects. Not many 40K cars in the parking lots. But the way Rush Limbaugh tells it, you think it was that way. Trust me, a Single mother of 4 is not driving aroubd town, in a 40k car with rims and eating better than a working class family of 4. It just don't work that way.

You really don't read. I know what I saw and if you want to call me a liar then say so. However, you are naive if you think these people dont exist.

Used to work in the same office complex where the local public assistance office was located, and I distinctly remember a family rolling up in an Escalade and walking into it. Certainly not the norm, but you're right, there are cases like that.

I seen folks give their worthless kids expensive vehicles, even continuing to pay the insurance and upkeep as well.

I never said it was the norm. But we all know Mr. Klean is a scholar and the foremost expert on social welfare recipients.

Mr.Klean, I once saw the Klan beat up white people. Or did that also not happen?

I never said that they don't exist, but the way you tell it, they are the majority.

I never said it's the majority, my few experiences of the same group of people HARDLY constitutes a majority. You lack critical reading comprehension skills which cause you to speak and sound like an ass. Now you are back tracking, trying to justify your ignorant posts. Just be a man and admit you were wrong. It's ok.

The reality of the 'welfare queen'
Living out the stereotype of the welfare queen hurt. Contrary to the stereotypes, nobody wants to be a welfare mother. It’s not worth it. I got to know many other welfare mothers and they were all like me, desperately trying to get back in the workforce. And they did all find jobs eventually. They just needed to get through that period where the kids were too young for school.
I used to hear people talk disparagingly about people on welfare,But I do know I met a large cross-section of people, and I never saw that attitude. Who would want no discretionary income a month? It’s not something to aspire to, and fighting for your benefits is not easy.

I see. So the rules have changed and now we ARE accepting anectodal evidence as proof positive. Gotcha.

WTF are you talking about Conkly?

There are abuses in every 'social welfare' program. But in the majority of cases I think people that receive the benefits truly need it.

I seen folks give their worthless kids expensive vehicles, even continuing to pay the insurance and upkeep as well.

I think this is might be a good chunk of these cases.

The Myth the Welfare Mother - a most unchristian ruse/smokescreen concocted by California neocons in 1979 to blame all the ills of government on the poor so they can justify, then raid the national treasury, rape the environment and start wars.

32 years later this myth is still being used and is often parroted here by people who claim to be christian - 89 Hen, St. Wronge, BDSM, PWNS, DJH, SuperFuckhead, Col Hogan and all the Shitadel idiots except 90.

Exploiting The Myth of the Welfare Mother is incompatible with so-called values exemplified by jesus.

This is all untrue. Jesus was a libertarian.

If only more of his followers were.
