It's always amazed me - old and burned out

that people become enraged at the poor receiving benefits and aren't the least bit disturbed by corporate welfare.

Me too. I find it disgusting - how

people criticize the poor and are mad because the wealthy pay more in taxes. Well, they should be happy when this president and the republicans give more tax breaks to the wealthy and shove the burden on the middle and lower class. I also hope they are happy when more people will be without insurance thanks to their so-called insurance plan.

For those who truly need these benefits, I'm more than happy - anon

to have the pittance it amounts to taken out of my taxes to help. I don't understand why anyone would have such a problem with this, especially if it's going to help children. The anger comes from the people who abuse the system, who are fully capable of working but choose not to or those who have children solely to collect and they're out there. I honestly believe that these people are few and that the majority of recipients really do need it. I also agree that it's criminal for corporates to rob us all yet come out in the top 1%. But I guess it's easier to blame that single working parent or parents who make so little they need assistance.

Many of us have known these - myths

for a long time. There are people who take advantage of the system but most are on there because they have no choice. I had to rely on food stamps for a short period of time in my life and it killed me to have to do that, but I had no choice. I was working several jobs, having to pay childcare in order to work those jobs and was entitled to no health insurance because I made too much. At that time I was making under $1000 a month.

During the recession in 2008, many lost their homes because they lost their jobs and had to rely on the system, yet those who were fortunate not to have that happen called these people lazy.

I get furious with these people that talk about things like "people on welfare are lazy." Maybe at some point you will be in their shoes and eat your words.

Plenty of freeloaders taking advantage of the system and - many making sure they do not...

make over a certain amount to be able to continue to milk the system.

Lots of lazy people on welfare too.

You should be furious about that.

False. Did you even read the article? - nm

The welfare queen is not a myth nor is it true illegals do not receive welfare - anon

There are plenty of welfare queens out there, I've known a few. I will say, however, that it is a myth that these welfare queens are only black because there are plenty of white welfare queens out there. Illegals also receive SNAP as I've witnessed many make purchases with their cards.

They only receive SNAP for citizen children. As the article states...sm - VTMT

most state require Aid to Families recipients to work now or attend school. Child care is provided. There are no Welfare Queens sitting at home with 10 kids eating bonbons.

There certainly are welfare queens - anon

I urge everyone to try to forget party for a while and actually ask yourself . . Am I better off now than I was 3-1/2 years ago? Is our country better off now than it was 3-1/2 years ago? Do I have hope for the future, for my children's future, for my grandchildren's future? Do I believe America is still the land of opportunity, peace, and prosperity? If you answered "yes" to those questions, then vote for Obama. If, however, your answer is "no," you owe it t ...

My own grandmother came over from Poland at the age of 15 (in about 1915) with her 3 YOUNGER brothers. I wonder if she was a "legal" immigrant such as it was in those days. I wonder if she was subjected to such nastiness and hate as we are seeing now. My other branch of the family was from Ireland, fleeing the potato famine, and we know they were demonized. My Polish grandma cleaned houses, was a governess, and eventually ended up with her own family and a nice house. She was a registered Repu ...

I'm just curious about how many of us working at home have the same routine. I get up in the morning and immediately heat up bottled water for coffee (I use a French press which makes a really perfect cup of coffee), then hop in the shower. After that, I make my coffee and drink it while taking about 10 minutes to put on my mineral makeup (so much faster than the other kind of makeup), eyeliner, lip liner and lip gloss. I then blow dry my hair, get dressed, make a second cup of ...

that union members in WI are passing around a flyer with names of businesses who supposedly contributed to Walker and calling for a boycott of those businesses. My problem with this is that employers are the ones who hire employees who pay taxes who fund unions. Isn't that kinda like shooting themselves in the foot? Plus, do teachers not realize that some of the businesses they want to boycott may employ a parent of one of their students...but they are doing all this for t ...

My son is almost 18 and is a senior in high school. This started back in June. He just started back to school yesterday and it is breaking my heart seeing him ill every morning especially since now he is in school again. No matter what time he gets up, he feels sick to his stomach. He usually starts to feel better around noon. I drove him to school yesterday and he was gagging in the car. I expected him to call me during the day, but he didn't. When he g ...

Obama didn't get his way since the important sequester meeting was only about 1 HOUR LONG. Yes, he really is looking out for the people -- NOT-- or else they'd still be meeting and negotiating. Sequester stands. He's not "wasting any more time" (my words, not his) since the sequester was "just dumb and arbitrary" (his words, not mine). So, Mr. President, if it's so dumb, why did you suggest it in the first place????? Guess he ran off for a game of golf to ...

The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection. The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup. As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ord ...
