Middle Class

The people who spend the most are more then likely the middle class. we buy cars, houses, i pods, and so on. the middle class is slowly becoming the new low class. you can see this big impact in are economy. who's loosing there homes. who's small business are closing down. this large group of people are hurting so they quit spending money. we don't need to bail out companies we need to improve the middle classes which in return will improve the economy. We are the one group that does not get a tax brake, but are tax money goes to CEO's 3 and 4 million dollar severances packages and weekend getaways. kind of crazy

Welfare

It is truly a sad day in America when a ten year old boy tells me that he dose not need to go to school. when i asked him how he was going to get a job. he told me he did not need a job. i then asked how he was going to get money. he replied i will be on welfare.

what has gone wrong with our country? we have family's that are third and fourth generation welfare and have never worked a day in there life or work under the table. They sell or trade there food stamps or EBT card for drugs. (not all but 90% )

What the hell was Welfare developed for to help people in need or to be a full time pay check for generation of lazy people. now there are some people on welfare that truly need it but there are fare more people using and abusing the system.

i was in line at the pharmacy listening to a thirty something woman yelling at the pharmacist because her medical card would not pay for fertility pills for her 17 year old. she said out loud that she did not know how her 17 year old was going to take care of her self with out welfare and she need to have a baby. So this is why we have kids raising kids. kids with no work ethics, morals, and now education.

When i lived along the Ohio river my neighbor was a Vietnam veteran. the helicopter he was in was getting shoot at and he feel out. he brook both his feet and legs. he was a union painter until he was laded off (over 20yrs). When he went down to get help they told him NO. he made to much money the year before. He asked for a med card for his son he was told NO. they told him if he sold some of his stuff ( house, truck, Etc.) and came back in six month then maybe they could help him.

What is wrong? people who work their whole life and cant get help when they need it but people who never work a day are set for life at 17. HUD pays for their house, food stamps pay for all their food, free health care. set for life. We need to set limits. why don't we make them find jobs after so long, drug test, something we give away to much of our tax money to people who steal from use and are strung out on pills and dope. we need to start rebuilding are great country and start with a welfare reform.
