20 years of welfare and no change?

  Author:  39887  Category:(Discussion) Created:(1/19/2004 6:44:00 PM)

My nephew has met a woman who has alwys bben on welfare and disability. She is 43 and has been on disability for 20 years for a bad back. She however can do 150 sit-ups at a time. She goes to work with my nephew and carries shingles to the roofers...up the ladder...to the roofers. I do not like her because she is perfectly happy having had 3 sons and they were all supported by welfare and disabillity. Her grown sons are now on disability for bad backs, so is her mother and her brothers! When does this stop? I deplore people who think its ok to take money from a handout and never try to help themselves. I have a bad back too, I am in pain everyday! I would not seek help unless I could no longer function at all with everyday chores. I cannot like her for this very reason, am I wrong?

Date: 1/19/2004 7:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 62503    well... she can do more sit ups then me lol.. i do the same thing when i have something wrong i dont complain i work through it no matter what without one peep and it makes me so angry when someone with the same problem sits and complains and gets to just chill out cuz of the problem. i know where you are coming from. Much love, rekles

Date: 1/19/2004 7:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 53052    have you thought of filing a report... i'm sure the goverment would LOVE to hear it then audit her or go and do a little check up on her then find out it's a false claim and demand all the money she has gotten back i hate people who take advantage of the system.. the system is out there to help people who need it... not to be taken advantage of  
Date: 1/19/2004 8:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 19460    she is mooching off of us all and thats not fair! i can understand that everyone needs help sometimes, but they should do their best to get on their own! my husband and I were on food stamps for like 2 years and lived in a low income apt. But we did what we could to hurry and get out of that situation, and hope to never go through that again. That woman is being really selfish if you think about it. There are alot of people who could really use the welfare assistance, but are turned down!
