[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2002393, member: 229"] Yeah, but the total population of the US that receives welfare is around 4% (some numbers include a lot of social security and tax credits to up that number to as high as 8%, but even at 8% of the entire population of the US - that's not even close to the numbers that many of the folks on this board have in their heads and that article is purposely skewing every point they can to get around that fact). I'm not trying to turn this into a R vs. D debate (though reading my comment, I did go there) but yes - the Welfare system is broken and everyone knows that (including the majority of the Democrats) but it's not as if everyone in the US is on welfare or that the system actually so screwed up that it promotes people who aren't a piece of $#!+ in the first place to quit their jobs. I just tire of the one-sided articles posted here that get everyone angry and we all sit around and talk about the other side and how stupid it is. I hear these exact same arguments from my Democrat friends and I seriously thought since the election that this would die down some. Lots of people with nothing better to do than get angry over lop-sided reports of things and refuse to actually look up the truth behind blogs and news-media hype. I guess I've got better stuff to do in life than just sit around and invent things in which to make myself more angry. [/QUOTE]
