All you gotta do is go to one of the slums in Tyrone to see what kind of people are getting welfare. Lazy, drug using fuckers. These people get into drugs and bad people in high school, they end up dropping out and having a kid. So they use the kid to get money for drugs and use the food stamps to feed the kid. They find ways to pay their bills (sometimes) and get clothes off of different programs. I know this because my sister has done this, as well as a bunch of her friends.
The problem that I have is that we end up paying for these people that made the poor desicions in life that put themselves into the position they are in. I know that not everyone is a fraud, but I know a few certain people that are ripping off the system. People that CAN work, but the CAN'T find a good paying job because of their drugs, poor desicions, or laziness!
I will say this though...there are a lot of bums here in Reno that don't get any assistence. I don't ever think about giving them shit because they are the ones that put themselves in that place. It takes a lot to be completely homeless and have nothing to your name.
I'm not a hard ass, I do feel bad for those that have been dealt a bad hand in life. Some kids are raised poor and have bad parents that they learn from, but a lot of it is laziness or drugs.
Im sick of welfare and other programs that are abused.
