I think America is frequently over-generous with it's own. I know, I know--hit me with a wet noodle. In the old days, people were too proud to take charity. If they had 1 set of clothes and food in their bellies, that was enough. Wives stayed home to care for this children and husbands went to work to care for the family.

Now, a man sleeps with a women and gets her pregnant. The only money he offers is enough for an abotion. Then he's gone. Her family doesn't want to give financial support, so she ends up on welfare with perhaps a few other children from a few other men.

I like the old days better when the only single moms were widows. Where you had 2-3 generations living in the same home all working for the good of everyone else. It's my bet that in pre-welfare days, you didn't have very many single moms.

When I was young, a single mom could get welfare, but if she lived with a man, even they baby's father she couldn't. Now, all 3 get welfare.

I'n not knocking people on welfare, I think needy people should be helped. But my sister lived on welfare for the entire time she had children at home. Interesting now that her son is 18 and she lost her welfare check, she is looking for work.

People want a lot of social bennefits, but they don't want to pay taxes for the bennefit. I country wasn't formed as a socialistic country. If people want something, then they should work for it. Even the Bible says if a man doesn't work then he doesn't eat. Too many people are eating and not working.

I have a tenant who is a single mom with no education. She isn't on welfare. She works. She doesn't have much, but she has earned everything she has. When she is laid off from work and doesn't have enough money for rent, her church helps her. She doesn't abuse the system. When she's out of work, she's on the streets everyday looking for work.

This is in contrast to my son-in-law. The 3 of them moved in with me. He thought looking for work 1 time a week was adequate. All he did was sit in front of the tv. He's the real reason I got rid of the tv. I learned to absolutely hate it. I finally told him that he had 3 months to get a job and then he's out. They didn't get on welfare, we the family helped them. I think this is how it should be.

Oh well, I guess I rambled enough. I don't even know if this post flows. I do know that I'm tired of taxes, and I tired of supporting people who don't even try to support themselves.
