Good. Want cash? Sign up for the army or quit being useless.
There it is!
Is it wrong to tell people to get a job?
If you'd ever been in a situation where you considered trying to get on welfare, you'd know that:
1) it's a fucking nightmare to get on and stay on 2) the work you have to do just to get your welfare checks is basically a full time job, for maybe 1/10th the payoff 3) the social stigma alone is horrendous 4) the money is barely enough to keep your head above water, sometimes not even that 5) you are constantly pressured at every level to continue looking for work 6) most people on welfare are in circumstances that make finding work difficult, either mental, physical or circumstantial
Seriously, this whole welfare bludger rhetoric is mostly bullshit. For the vast majority of people welfare is not a cushy paradise of free money for nothing. It's a miserable existence and any time I hear the "get a job" argument I ahve to laugh because when I was briefly on welfare I would have done just about anything for a job, any job, even one day a week job...
I will look into how welfare works. I've never nor ever will need it but if it's as hard as you say I'll cut them some slack. ---
