Here's a small example of how our welfare system works in our state - sometimes. My two servers Sue and Mary both ordered a taco salad at the same time. Sue came in and got her salsa and plates ready while Mary did not. Mary took advantage of Sue's extra work and took her plate and salsa to serve her customers. This was not fair. I think it is our duty to help our fellow citizens but when an able bodied person does not help themselves then I ask when does it stop? When politicians talk about helping the poor it is usually not with their own money. Caring about people should be universal - rich - middle class and poor.
We should not discriminate who we care about as a State! No more class warfare. If you want to call me a big shot greedy businessman bring it on. I know who I am and what I care about and what I have done and will continue doing and that is all that matters to me.
Excellent point Tommy! You should not apologize for being a business owner, you should be applauded for providing opportunities for others to learn. There are stories of restaurant owners who started as servers. You provide a great training experience that many should avail themselves of.
ReplyDeleteWhen able bodied people go after handouts as a career path it becomes fraud. I am a liberal and I believe that a safety net is essential to protect the disabled and others who cannot truly pull their own weight. I know a lot of liberals and I don't know one liberal who thinks its fraud does anyone any good. Friday only serves to steal resources away from the truly needy.
ReplyDeleteThe free handout system never changes in big enough steps to really reform the system. Federal abuse of fake disabiliy claims have hurt those who really need it now.
