  • it doesn't exist on purpose, but I think that companies keep hiring friends and family and then their children's spouse's friends and family, etc... It statistically looks like racism, but most of the time it's not. I think people are way too hard on black single moms especially black people seem to be complaining the most about girls getting pregnant over and over just to scam the system. I think that employment will be easy to find again as soon as we make outsourcing of jobs illegal. Welfare should actually be easy to get and given generously and pay for housing and electricity,etc.

    • You're totally discounting human nature. If you give someone something for free that they don't have to earn you are taking away their self sufficiency and removing the burden of being responsible for themselves.

      This is exactly what welfare is.

      Sure on paper welfare looks great, we can help people who need some help. In reality its totally abused by people who are perfectly capable of being responsible for themselves but have had the burden of doing so removed by the system.

      • No, welfare is a safety net to prevent people falling into abject poverty.

        What you support is Somalian order. Every man for himself or die. Unfortunately when people are near the bottom, those above do not want their position threatened so these individuals are prevented from bettering themselves.

        • That's what "welfare" is on paper. What it is in real life is a very real excuse to not be productive and assume responsibility for yourself.

          The difference between how something should work and how it does actually work are sometimes very different.

          The idiotic excuse of the people above me are holding me down doesn't really work. You work a job, pay your bills, enjoy life where you can.

            These two sentences are not mutually inclusive. In fact, the latter sentence is generally that said by those doing the oppressing.

            • Working a job and paying your own way isn't oppressive. Stop making excuses.

              • "Working a job and paying your own way isn't oppressive."

                I never said it was. But it's the expectation to just get on with your shitty job that those who oppress use to breed complacency.

                It is not oppressive, but preventing fair wage laws is.

      • No, I think that you don't want to lose your job harrassing and trapping people all day.
