If a person says they are poor, no matter what they do it is wrong. So you would have me go ask for the benefits, even though I don't need the 800 dollars and I can't ask for less so you can berate me. You will berate me for not asking. You will berate me for saying the TRUTH which is malnutrition set in and that's why I accepted it claiming that is not possible. You would probably berate me for NOT taking the help too if something were to happen to my children. 
As for people not being poor, may be you think that but real poverty does exist in America. Poverty like in Hati. |
No, we do not have poverty like in haiti or jamaica, for that matter.
My wife was born in jamaica, so you can be certain that she knows what true poverty is.
This is, for now, one of the richest countries in the world. As a result, it's citizens get to enjoy lots of free food, free rent, free houses, etc...
There ARE some people in the this country who, perhaps, deserve welfare/food stamps/etc...
However, the majority, do not.
Unfortunately, when you allow the govt. to run...well...just about anything outside of defense of this country (and that could be debated), you can be sure it will be done ineffectively and inefficiently.
As a result, it is abused...
This is why many have a problem with the welfare systems in this country.
As an aside...I have some questions for you auksona,
Are you on dial up or dsl for your computer?
Do you have picture of you with your family to share?
Do you own your house and land or rent?
