Thomas, are you serious?  Do you feel that way about anybody that uses
Welfare?

I know that Welfare is fraught with problems and that too many people use it
for the wrong reason, but your statement is a bit strong.  We all walk a
thin line in these days and times and many of us could fall into very hard
times by events uncontrolled by us.

Would you consider having your body parts removed if you had a family member
struck by a devastating disease that took all your assets, you were laid off
because you took too much time off to tend the sick family member and your
spouse left you with high debts?

When I was growing up a lot of needy people were helped out by the churches.
It seems that they no longer can or are willing to help those not as
fortunate.  Look around at some of the fabulous wealth that is accumulated
by religious organizations.

I used to think that everyone on Welfare was a pariah of society until I saw
some of my own relatives brought to destitution.  They were lucky and
sensible enough to continue as useful citizens once they found themselves
back on their feet.  Today's Welfare system has a built in function to keep
most recipients mired in the system.  If everyone was off the dole, where
would the Welfare bureaucracy work?

Sorry to have taken up so much room but I could not let such a strong and
wide statement go unanswered.
