All these people standing in line would be the first to scream how awful Slavery was, yet most of them don't realize thats what Obama & the gov. have made them . They R a slave to the gov. , most of them will get there little hand outs , just enough as to not work , & go back to their slum shack like their great great grandfather did. I know that's harsh , but it's reality.

funny how responsible welfare parasites become when it comes to filling out the necessary welfare paperwork.

wow fools really do rush in. seriously my first thought when i hear "free money" is it's fake or there's a catch.

It's not clear who these people were or what specific program they were lined up for. The video 'interviews' a few individuals who display ignorance, but it is fallacious to extrapolate the attitudes of others in line or in society from this 'data.' The disagreements in the comments section regarding which programs qualify as entitlements exemplify how difficult these issues can be to discuss--if we can't agree on what we are arguing about, how can we ever agree on what to do about them?

@evilfreethinker I also think that mandatory drug screening would be a good idea. If you charge 25 dollars to apply for welfare there would be little to no cost on the government which means our taxes can stay low. Obviously there would be some waivers for the fee and waivers for persons who take medication but everybody would get one. This would cost much less than a new IT network, although it is not necessarily a bad idea. for maybe when the economy is more stable.

@TheDevilDoctor1 One problem government has is in Information Technology, it's horribly inefficient and slow. Generations of hardware and proprietary software across multiple platforms makes for a nightmare to sort out. I mean come on, my local Social Security office is still using windows 98 on some machines. If they could make the systems more agile and communicate effectively across departments, maybe we could cut down on the fraud and waste so dead people aren't having checks cashed etc.
I'm considered legally blind. I have very low vision and can still see enough to get around and do work. I get SSI and Social security, less than $800 a month. I survive and I do what I can to make it. I am in college to become an Assistive Technology Specialist, thats a person that trains people who are disabled to use special devices and software to use computers and the internet. I want to work, I want to position myself to become a success. Not everyone on public assistance is bad.

@evilfreethinker Nobody's claiming that, and clearly you're working to fulfill human potential while just temporarily using those programs to help you, which is great and was the origional intent of the them in the first place.
My problem is, let's say you become very successful at what you do by working hard and end up being oober-rich. Guess what? The far left would have you forget that work and take you wealth and give it to the people in this video. That's fair?

you could see the most successful black man in the world walking down the street but it doesnt mean shit because his skin is black and in the eyes of a white man he's still just another low-life,scumbag, piece of shit nigger and this video is just another example of why us white people feel that way, black people never have and never will be able to gain the respect of white people or any other race for that matter because the bad far exceed the good......

@mrhonkee You're insane, that's not what I'm saying at all. There were white people in this line who were just as stupid.
Then there are morons on the left who race-bait like the fascist vermin they are because they're too stupid to say anything intellegant, so they have to smear those who (gasp) disagree with them with baseless charges of racism. Which is what you're doing because you ahve nothing more intellegant to say than whine "Wacist" which is more racist than anything I've ever said.
