Quote:Supporting those going through hard times is what makes any society great.


This lazy free loaders that make up 5-10 percent of humanity shouldn't stop a great society from helping those who need it.


Just my opinion.


But the facts show that the number of people that abuse the system is insignificant compared to those that need assistance.

I appreciate you sharing that you needed to use this programs. I'm sure you, like 90 - 95% of this who have used the system were doing the best you could to get off the assistance you were receiving.

Thanks. It was hard times for me but with a lot of moral support from my family I made it through. And I did get out of it, but sadly there is a mindset among some who think, why work if someone gives me money to sit at home. It's very easy to slip into that mindset as well if you're already emotionally compromised through depression, anxiety, etc., as I was. There was a moment here and there when I really thought about it myself but something in me just said NO, so I put on my big girl panties and worked on getting myself to a better place. 

 

And it may be a small percentage of folks who are taking advantage of the system,  no one knows for sure, but small numbers can create huge problems.
