I sort of agree with the idea of lots of people on welfare not deserving it. I didn't look at the link and I'm not going to, I don't need a link to offer my opinion on the matter.
I have a couple examples:
- My one ex's *** was a psycho who was on unemployment for years. It would always be some excuse, like she hurt her arm while she was getting dressed (how on earth you hurt you arm while putting on a shirt, I have no clue) or having been bitten by a dog. She managed to stay on unemployment for so damn long, it's insane, every time I saw her she was walking around, driving, smoking, screaming at someone (usually me or her ***). She could've gotten a job, whether it was as a delivery driver, cashier, whatever.
- This girl that worked as a waitress for a few months at the Pizza Hut I managed at was the most awful employee ever. Constantly late, bitching and moaning at every single little thing, questioning her authorities about tasks assigned to her, cocking attitudes, texting on her phone during busy hours. She eventually quit, thank god, but called back a few days after she quit asking if she could come back to work for at least 2 days a week, specifically saying that if she didn't have some sort of job, her unemployment would be cut. That if it didn't look like she was looking for a job or trying, she wouldn't get her unemployment checks.
There are plenty of people who deserve it and plenty of people who don't.
Something that bugs me is all the homeless people in NY begging for money, whether it be on the street or in the subways. I've seen the same exact people in the subways countless times, wearing nice clothes and always claiming to have the same sob story, that they got fired from their job, have a ***, are hungry, and are just looking for something to eat and some money to get a hotel room so they don't have to ***** outside. Ok.... I've given spare change and dollar bills to some of the homeless folks, but it's only when I think they truly need it- when it's an extremely smelly guy stinking up an entire room and you can smell him from 50 feet away, when he has **** for clothes on his bones, and when he's not being annoying and making announcements about it. There is no excuse not to join a shelter or at least look for a job if you at least have decent clothes and shoes on your feet. No excuse whatsoever. There is no good reason why I should see the same exact ****** and her 10 year old *** on the subway multiple times over the course of a year, always having decent clothes on.
I'm also not one to bitch about paying taxes. Because in reality, no one has to pay taxes if you know what the hell you're doing. File your taxes. Save all your receipts for the entire year and keep tabs on your bank statement. The more tax you claim, the more you'll get back. Look through when and how much you've spent on phone bills, rent, and other utilities throughout the course of a year, and claim that when you file your taxes, and guess what? That's money that you're not being taxed on. The more you claim, the less you pay. I **** hearing people bitch about other people leeching off welfare and ****, saying they don't want their taxes from their hard earned money going to that. Well, file your taxes right and you won't pay any taxes at all.
