Too much August, not enough welfare $$$$ ?
William H. Belway
That 21.6% cut getting you down again? 21.6% adds up to be quite a bit
since October 1995. but wait, welfare is supposed to be a temporary
measure, not a 2-4 year "self-improvement subsidy" as some would claim. No,
that's the mentality of the convicts in Ontario jais right now defrauding
the system while behind bars-after all, prison rehabilitation is nothing
more than "improving one's self" just as some local welfare recipients
claim they are doing now. If the 21.6% and Kraft dinner blues have got you
down, here's an idea. Get a job. Jobs pay more than $550.00/month. Of
course, not everyone can have a plush PSAC job where you can post to
Usenet from work everyday-them's the breaks. Here's a tip to getting that
job and being an ASSETT to Ontario, instead of an AS-well, you know the rest.
Tip #1: Get out of the la-z-boy.
Tip #2 If you cannot afford welfar reductions, you are wrong. You cannot
afford to say on the couch.
21.6% welfare cut-its just Common Sense.

Prisoners shouldn't get it. They already get free meals and a place
to live.

Not all people on welfare are bums, like those PAN (Poverty Action
Network) losers.

No, it slows down commerce and consumer spending (no, not just in
booze stores), it hurts those who truly need the safety net.
I have an idea, cut government jobs and red tape. Cut pointless
programs, like, arts funding; corporate welfare.
Cut of any recipient who isn't looking for work, or who'd been on for
2 years non-stop without at least working once.
Increase rolls to 650/month and/or drop the minimum wage to help
people get jobs for that wage of 650/month.

I have read this through a couple of times to get a feel for what you
are saying. At first I wasn't going to post against this since none of
this means a pinch of coon shit anyway. I now post because all of this
has a ring of very sickening propaganda. Placing welfare recipients in
the same sentence and idea with convicts is very sick. It is not
illegal to collect welfare!!! We all know that many welfare recipients
are not on welfare by choice. There are many physically and mentally
ill people on welfare who are unable to work. Even those not on
medical assistance are often mentally or physically ill. What really
stinks about this whole post is the light you place on "PEOPLE".
Yes, welfare recipients are people who are far less fortunate than
Jane who goes to private school paid for by daddy who will buy her
a new Mercedes on her 16th birthday. This is the same girl who
doesn't send her old clothes to the Good Will stores because she
doesn't like the idea of poor people wearing her clothes!!! This
person would never do manual labor because she is from the upper
crust. She could break her nails! You claim that welfare recipients
are lazy??? This is the type of person who won't talk to people just
because they go to public schools.
I remember working at a moving company when I was in high school and
meeting many people just like this. We would do big jobs up on Bridal
path road, where the houses are bigger and fancier than any around.
One day after a job I came home from a job and went to pizza-pizza. A
couple were coming home from a very fancy eatery and see me having a
pizza. The couple were very young and pasty faced and looked very well
off. I was hot and very tired, covered with sweat. The guy mutters, so
that I could hear, " he must be on welfare". I was so pissed when I
heard that! Here I was after a long hard day of work and this idiot
says this crap. I told him to come over so that I could make him a
welfare case :) . It is a good thing he didn't because it wouldn't of
taken much more for me to blow my cool.

Your problem is that you have no humanity. You remind me of the woman
I knew who had a total brat of a child and would never scold her child
for anything. The child wouldn't move over on the car seat to let me
in even though her mother told her to and the father threatened to
remove allowance! Guess who struggled in over her? You are like this
child and have been brought up to have no concern for others.
This woman had a dog that would start fights with other dogs and she
had it castrated for that reason. I had a dog and we trained it quite
nicely to be obedient and not start fights. I asked the woman if she
had ever considered training the animal!!! The dog is now pathetically
placid and does nothing but sleep. The moral of this story involves
how we treat others. This dog didn't deserve to be surgically
mutilated for her inability to train the animal. People also don't
deserve to be treated like dirt.
>21.6% welfare cut-its just Common Sense.
Is it common sense to cut monetary funding to 1/3 of the children
who are now on welfare?
