Employee on welfare???? Not sure if this is even possible if the job is legit.
And I Quote- Now if you do those things you are a 'patriot'. Especially if you bitch for hours on end about single moms getting $100 a month in benefits to feed their kids. Even better if one of the single moms is your employee.
This is why the welfare system HAS failed to aid those that need the assistance, it is welfare, not a way of life. Put in place to help those that needed a helping hand, not an existence.

Bill Clinton actually signed a bill that did some pretty overhauls to welfare. There is still a lot of state control of many programs, but in many states if you want to get section 8 housing assistance you have to have at least a part time job. There are many people out there who work low wage jobs and get housing assistance and food stamps which is considered being on welfare, they just don't get a check.
A friend of mine has a sister who is a waste of a human being. She has a very young daughter and is on welfare. She lives at home with mom and dad and does nothing all day long. She signed up to get Section 8 and was approved. They told her she needed to get a job working at least part time and then they would help her get a place. When she heard she had to work she told them that working was not for her so she turned it down. She still gets money and food stamps, but no housing or daycare help.
