Not all on assistance are deadbeats. Some are there because they have to be, and in fact hate it! I am one.
I started working as a child, shoveled horse stalls every year at Portland Meadows during racing season starting at twelve. Sold Christmas cards door-to-door at the same age until well into my later teens. I sold flower and vegetable seeds door-to-door too.
At the age of fourteen I was happy as hell because could finally get a work permit and I could get a real job at the car wash where I started off as a detailer, worked long hours and worked hard, earned good tips.
I worked many jobs after that, many times more than one job, I rarely worked less than a sixty-hour week and quite often more. About twenty years ago at work after a shift on the sales floor the day after Christmas I was stocking incoming freight when the jack ass I was working with threw a big box of batteries at me, over-extended I caught it and heard my back snap.
Just over six-weeks after that I was rear-ended in my Datsun B-210 by a 1972 Chevy station wagon (heavy metal), on my home from therapy, it hit me so hard I was knocked damn near a quarter of a block; the trunk was now just behind my front seat which was knocked flat in a reclined position. More back pain ensued. I kid you not, two weeks later I was rear-ended again.
The insurance companies all blamed each other; I got very little in a workman's comp case, even less from the insurance companies. I worked a few jobs after that, but I was told a few years later, off the record, that I would never be able to fully recover, my working days were over. I tried a few more jobs, I was always good at sales, but most all of the good money in sales involves a lot time on the feet. I was always in pain, but still I worked a few more years in sales of one kind or another, but a couple years later I was on SS-Disability, and you can believe this to be my truth, I freaking hate it!!!
The problem with all welfare is that it is a government program run by government employees, and we all know how well the government runs things. Clean up the abuses and fraud in assistance agencies and the cost will go way down... and the people on it will be the ones who truly need it, not the baby machines and deadbeats.
