  • People on welfare are thieves! Politicians are buying votes with your money. Matter of fact I was just at the grocery store and saw woman use welfare and go out and get in her new car. It makes me sick and it must stop.

  • do any of you know what welfare actually is. its comprised of at least 70 different programs. The people who recieve foodstamps work just like everybody else. its a very small pergentage of people who dont work. Most welfare programs require you to generate some sort of income or meet specific income requirements. medicare and medicade is also welfare and so is unemployement. most people who recieve unemployement checks are middle class people in between jobs. social security = welfare.

  • okay not trying to be rood im with you on the welfare but seriously just talk about welfare not your life, sorry but het the point across not your life

  • its good for these lazy ass folks....get up and get a job...tired of footing the bill.....shm

  • clearly the fact she said shes not racist when welfare isnt a black thing tells me she in fact is racist in this rant

  • you're a cutie

  • @bsm6776 Not exactly what I was going for, but thanks!! ^__^

  • maybe like 5cents of the taxes you pay go to welfare... so stfu!

  • I am sorry apparently I offended you. Just from watching your videos it seems to me that you are more concerned with make, up face strips and hair products. Those are pretty expensive You are a pretty girl you do not need those things. Besides they are poison to your face. Instead of worrying about your exterior maybe you should be worrying about the food you can not purchase because of your lack of funding. Hmm...also kudos to your dad working three jobs. I know it is tough....

  • @frashamossimo how about i worked hard, paid my way through college, got a good job and can afford decent food AND inexpensive beauty products? this video is 2 years old. you didn't offend me by your manner, just your accusations when you very apparently did not read the video description. i am very glad for welfare and it's ORIGINAL purpose, which was to help people get back on their feet, not support laziness (which is a broad generalization) out of the middle-class American pocketbook.

  • @frashamossimo also, i wanted to thank you for your obvious concern for my personal wellbeing

  • @imXsoXnotXscene oh geez lady...come on now..

  • No body cares what you have to say, show sum tits!

  • Things are the same in the UK! About 35% or my pay goes in tax. If I put it in the bank the government then takes 20% of interest in tax, if I spend it they take 20% in VAT (sales tax). If I chose not to work I'd get Job Seekers Allowance (social security), plus housing benefit (up to £500/$1000 a week), council tax benefit (£1200 a year), child benefit, etc.etc. It just sends out the wrong message to hard working people!

  • shes right!!

  • You have a wonderfull mindset and you are 100% right.

    You will work hard and make it!

    Chronic abuse of the welfare system has been going on for a long time.

    multigenerational welfare recipients that we have been supporting makes my stomach turn. A person like you inspires me.

    Keep your chin up and work hard girl! You inspire yourself and me

    Hugs

  • you are so right....i agree that some people do need welfare to help them out, but there are so many that abuse it! At least take comfort in the fact that you're not like them- you work hard and study- and believe me, it will pay off one day- those people that abuse welfare and dont even try to find a job and get back on their feet- one day they will be exposed and wont have it that easy because karma's a bitch

  • I am from the UK and we have the same problem. People on benefits are stigmatized as free loaders who don't want to work because life on benefits is comfortable. The people on benefit who don't want to work are the minority and not the majority, but i do believe work should be given to people who get comfortable on benefit and if they refuse the work they should be penalised to send out a message that benefits are not a permanent arrangement, but an interim solution till they find work.

  • Be careful where you lay the blame because people on welfare can't demand what they get, they take what they are given. People on welfare should not be driving stretch limos and eating caviar everyday but they should have a reasonable standard of living above the poverty line so that welfare is not used as a punishment if you happen to lose your job. The politicians always hit the poor because they are easy targets but we need reform in other areas of society.

  • @11Grayfox11 duly noted. I am not attempting to lay blame only on those who are on welfare. if you note in my video and in the info box, i state that i am grateful for the welfare system when used in the right way. what i have a problem with is people who ABUSE welfare and have more than i do because of government handouts. as posted a while ago, if welfare was just enough to live on (above the poverty line) there would not be near as many people on it.

  • @imXsoXnotXscene In the UK we have a "welfare state" that provides a better standard of living than those that are in low paid work. People on welfare get access to private landlords that will let properties to them with the government paying for 5 bedroom houses and the welfare signal is the more children you have is the more benefit you will get, in short our welfare system is broken and in need of reform.

  • @imXsoXnotXscene So my argument is with the politicians that lack proper planning skills to organise a welfare system that doesn't punish the users but provides "modest sustainable help" that does not make hard working people feel hard done by. We have 3.5 million unemployed in the UK and no jobs to match that figure so welfare will be a permanent fact of life for any government in the UK unless jobs can be created from somewhere.

  • @imXsoXnotXscene In the UK in the early 1900's if you wanted welfare you had to first wait for a welfare officer to come to your house and see what you could sell before you got welfare payments, sellable items would be things like, piano, chairs and tables, items of clothing, appliances and so on. Then after you sold the identified items you would be entitled to payments. I think that form of means testing was extreme to say the least, I hope we don't go back to those days.

  • @frashamossimo you told me "Do more research before you judge." I am not judging anyone. I also did not say that everyone on welfare sells drugs for money, drinks and does drugs. I realize that most people do "not everyone was blessed with a wealthy family that comes from privilege. " I come from a family with a father too proud for food stamps; who worked 3 jobs at a time to put a gallon of milk on the table and take his family to thrift stores for new clothes. maybe you should hear what i say

  • @frashamossimo before putting your foot in your mouth. I'm not saying get rid of welfare, I even praise the concept. I'm simply stating that there needs to be some changes to make things better across the board.

  • Please watch my video on my page.The audio is out of sync, but try to make it through the video I talk about welfare and what it creates.

  • the wrokers who are compelled to pay tax must respect the right of other citizens not to work.

    The other citizens have a right not to be exploited by cappies. When the majority of workers recognize this, are cognizant of this, then they respect and uphold the rights of those non-workers on welfare

  • @Guevaristas "workers"

  • I know how you feel! The other day I was in the line at the grocery store and some stupid lady paid with her EBT card. She had 5 young children and a brand new freaking car!!! I drive a piece of shit and I work and don't mooch off the system!

  • if ur that upset then u go apply 4 welfare lol

  • stop knocking welfare you cowards.

    No one should be forced to work for these capitalist leeches who are in business to make a fat profit.

    Most of you that do work and pay tax have no Revolutionary inclinations-you are essentially useless. You are "consumerists" and slovenly television addicts. Many of you need to attend weight reduction clinics

  • @Guevaristas I am not knocking welfare, and I'm no coward.

    I do not see how welfare recipients leeching off of the middle-class honest worker is any better than "these capitalist leeches".

    Pray tell, what sort of revolutionary inclinations do you speak of? Do you work or do you live off of food stamps, too?

    Also, I've watched maybe 10 minutes of TV in the past month. Please explain to me how that makes me an addict or candidate for a weight reduction clinic?

  • @Guevaristas So people shouldn't be forced to work, but those who do work should be forced to take care of those who don't??? That doesn't make the least amount of sense to me. I think that we should keep welfare, but it should be tinkered with and welfare recipients should voluntare or do some form of work to receive their check.

  • i totally agree with you, i work at save alot while im going to college and i see all kinds of welfare leeches.

  • I totally agree with you.

    I was EXACTLY in ur situation about 3 years ago.

    This may be farfetched for you tho, but I started a small internet business, and it gives extra income. Of course getting the capital might be hard, but it's stil better (in my mind) than being on welfare or getting food stamps (aka leeching off other pplz)

  • so why dont u appy 4 food stamps im not on welfare but i recive food stamps

  • because i feel like that is mooching.

    i worked hard, got a better job, and while i still feel like the government is stealing too much money from the middle class to feed the lower class, at least i can afford decent food now.

  • @imXsoXnotXscene everybody don't want to work hard for what they want and some people everything for free

  • @hursti05 If I want something, I work for it. If I can't work for it, I don't get it. I earn what I have. I feel accomplished, and everything I have means that much more because I had to earn it. I also have respect for myself and others who work like I do. Because of that, I don't think that anyone who isn't willing to work for what they want should get it. Do I like the idea of welfare? Yes. Do I agree with how it is being used/abused? Not in the least.

  • you seem like a straight forward person.I dont think its fair because i work full time and go to school and i dont get food stamp,hud,medicaid and any other form of government help when they take money out my checks.the system is unfair.i get a small income tax return when people that barely work with kids get huge income taxes.

  • I totaly agree with you about welfare... but if your struggling that bad.. look for a better paying job

  • trust me, i was. but with the recession, and since i'm still in college, in addition to the fact that i lived in the middle of no-where and i had no mode of transportation other than my own two feet at the time, finding another job was nigh impossible. however, i have moved up and am now working for the school i attend, make more than i ever have, live well, and consider myself blessed. however, i still think that welfare needs a major overhaul.

  • well good for you. Im glad things are getting better for you..

  • thank you, i appreciate it. unlike a lot of people, i am not one to sit around and complain rather than do something. i believe people in general need to take a more proactive approach on life.

  • @jarcar101 - you must be a Republikkkan because your comment for the lady to simply look for a better job is cold hearted and reminds mr of that French Queen who was hoarding food when her people were starving. She stated simply to "Let them eat cake". We are in a recession. A better Job "any" job is hard to find now.

  • i cannot agree more with you. im sick of see them have two baskets full of food and i cant even fill up one tenth and my husband works for a living, no stamps here

  • Makes me want to change my party affiliation. I'll become a liberal/Marxist, and get on welfare. They eat better than I do! See how leftists will take care of other leftists by robbing others who work hard? It's criminal enterprising.

  • i've *almost* considered that a few times... kinda like the girls that keep popping out the kids to get more WIC and welfare checks... plus i go to a private christian university, where if you get pregnant and admit that you've been a "bad kid" and promise to try real hard, they'll help you through your pregnancy and pay your tuition at the school. it's the same idea.

  • @terrafirma91 - you have a point. I'm a liberal however I work and have never gotten stamps. However the Republikkkans are really no better because they believe in corporate welfare. look how Bush slashed the taxes for the ultra filthy rich. Even Warren Buffet stated he pays less taxes than his secretary and he's a billionaire.

  • Protool11: Maybe we had best scrap the entire welfare system altogether. It's just a feeding trough for those wanting something for nothing. The poor working class slob is the guy stuck with paying the bill! And we all know how the working class has shriveled, no jobs. No wonder the system is broke.

  • Welfare is a means of Liberals buying votes with tax dollars. It is to the advantage of Liberals to increase the numbers of those on welfare so they will have job security. That is why you see unneedy people on welfare. If only beans and wheat were offered for those on the public dole, people would have an incentive to get off public assistance.

  • omg. that's the answer. because guess what... that's what i live off of. rice and beans. because i pay for their lobster. and i KNOW that i'm not the only one...

  • You look healthy . . . . think how a beans and wheat diet would help so many overweight welfare recipients. It isn't easy to over eat on beans and wheat.

  • "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the

    Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on

    objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents."

  • yes, yes totally agree with you on that!!!

  • cars they drive. i voted for obama but he gave almost 20 BILLION DOLLARS towers food stamp makes me think if ill vote for him again. im 20 this girl probably 22 gets more than what i make in a whole month just in ebt cash FUCK this bullshit!! i want to do something about it but what can we do?

  • i also work in a grocery store thats the thing i hate the most. you are 100% right these people get to buy food me and my family cant buy and there is times when we dont go grocery shopping for 2 weeks cause we dont have any money for that and these people just get all that food withn out doing shit it upsets me you dont even know how much!!! and they do wear great name brand clothes and the

  • I work at a grocery store too. Its a shitty store called food lion and i dont have much money either because the store cant afford many hours or just they are corrupt because of asskissers there when I do 100x more work then they do when they sit on their ass in the breakroom reading tabloids. Now what I am saying is I understand what you are talking about, I agree, and I just go through a really rough day at work because of this and I think you are 100% right.

  • was my pleasure sweetie

  • great video you are very articulate and are doing the right thing

    sounds like you are in a good family and they are stand up citizens.

  • thanks dave!

    and thanks for watching my video [=

  • Don't worry the feds are on it, there are many people wearing the orange robes that steal from the system so don't you worry justice will prevail but even if we don't catch everyone you know you can sleep at night because you did the right thing

  • you are really sweet and your video was great.. I'm a former social worker in NY and the fact is far above the fiction. Most families are working very hard for their check anyone with a baby over one can not stay home.. if they can' find a job the work for their check the people who pop up in your supermarket are probably dressed really well but that is the only real estate they own clothig the average family has two children but can't go to college because the education system is failing them.

  • thank you!! and i understand that what i'm talking about isn't always the case. i know there are plenty of people who need welfare; however, if they're pulling up in their mercedez cars and wearing armani shirts and leather jackets, don't you think there's something wrong with that? and i understand that there are a lot of situations (especially now) where rich people who haven't saved their money are facing hard times... but it's still frustrating...

  • thanks [=

  • I have seen people in stores use welfare to buy Half Hams,Chips,and even Lobster.

    I feel your pain
