    • get a job? that's a new concept.
      ********
    • ... oh wait, some folks suggest that some folks had no arms and legs.

    • "get a job", what does that have to do with being poor? A new concept would be caring about citizens and not hiding behind the selfish rhetoricformed
    • "everyone must be lazy if they aren't rich". The regurgitated propaganda is stale and sounds extremely lazy, if not downright uneducated.formed
    • if the problem is money, then the solution is work? how much money do you have? I'm poor, don't be selfish, give me some of your money.
      ********
    • the problem isn't lazy as some may suggest. the problem is lack of jobs, which is the problem.
      ********
    • omg and his disgusting lack of empathy on display as usual. replying 'get a job' is by far the absolute laziest thing happening here.kona
    • i'm crying on the inside, trust me.
      ********
    • Is this your new angle - the hard-nosed bootstraps Conservative? What's next - the repentant GOP'r? Or have you done that already. I forget.face_melter
    • I merely questioned whether a job would help me with money issues. After thinking about it, I realize that a job would give me money.
      ********
    • However from the point of view that I didn't know a job would give me money. Wouldn't it be better that you give me a job instead of mulling over your feelings?
      ********
    • it seems there are two agendas: 1. Create a daycare 2. Create working jobs. I agree there needs to be a day care, but putting all your money there won't solve
      ********
    • the bigger issue and problem which was lack of jobs. That's the reason why the daycare was needed in the first place.
      ********
    • only a fucking retard thinks that poor people don't work hard, most at slave wages because big corporations like to fuck them in the ass, Trump loves it.monospaced
    • but hey, let's keep 'em down, while Trump reduces minimum wages, eats away healthcare, buttrapes education standards, and ensures colleges are unattainablemonospaced
    • only a fucking idiot thinks "get a job" makes sense to say in the face of actual issues that republicans not only refuse to address, but are making worse!monospaced
    • I have a friend who stayed unemplyment because he told me, in his own words: "why work when I'm getting enough from the state to live off of?" There u have it!chukkaphob
    • Unemployment is hardly a living wage, and it has strings attached. Your "friend" is a cute anecdote, but certainly an incomplete picture of the actual situationmonospaced
    • no longer my friendchukkaphob
    • and you're wrong - wellfare IS a living wage. FACT.chukkaphob
    • are you talking about welfare, or unemployment wages? you gotta pick one if you're making a point ... and btw, welfare is dirt-shit poormonospaced
    • as if using that anecdote was bad enough, most of it isn't true (not friend, not on unemployment, not "enough")monospaced
    • As long as your rent is 1/4 of your previous wages, it should be enough to live off of if UE gives you half your wages.
      ********
    • oh man, why am i responding to mono?! why do I do this to myself. LOL. I need to check who's writing first before responding. LMAOchukkaphob
    • mono is talking total sense - would you like to live off welfare? could you live off welfare? why would anyone want to live off welfare. in any system there arefadein11
    • those who play it but it isn't the norm and if you think it is then you are as stooopid as omg. "get a job" - we had/have politicians over here in the UK whofadein11
    • talk like that - it was/is a disaster for the country.fadein11
    • Yes, you can live off of walefare. That's why the program is still intact. Yes, the guy I'm talking about lived off it instead of looking for a job. Fact.chukkaphob
    • Yes, the system allows for programs to be taken advantage of, even if not designed to keep people off jobs. Fact.chukkaphob
    • As far as namecalling "stoopid" or whatever cool lingo you're throwing around -- it says more about you than about those you're addressing. ;-)chukkaphob
    • hehe - you gave one example of a lazy friend who could work but chose not to and think thats a reason to question welfare in relation to QBN's resident retardfadein11
    • omg telling people to get a job - yep that sounds pretty stoopid to me pal.fadein11
    • Welfare isn't a check, it's a program designed for needy families, primarily in the form of food stamps and other supplements. Your friend likely wasn't on it.monospaced
    • I'm sorry, but I actually do know about this stuff, and my name calling doesn't say anything about me except that perhaps I'm not as full of shit as you thinkmonospaced
    • Most likely, your friend was on unemployment checks as a result of being out of work. Unless he had dependents, going on welfare wasn't in the cards for him.monospaced
    • Another fact is that there aren't people on "welfare" that would consider themselves taken care of, let alone not shit-poor. That's not something you can argue.monospaced
    • Either way, it's temporary. Both unemployment and welfare have strict guidelines for qualification, and none of it is permanent.monospaced
    • Unemployment is technically a social welfare payment and benefit.
      ********
    • and it's not a living wage, never has been and never will be, so it's not a way to avoid poverty, which is the entire fucking pointmonospaced
    • no because a wage is something you get when you work. but you can as chucka's friend said, "live off of." I thought was the point.
      ********
    • if the POINT is to be DIRT SHIT POOR, SURE, but it's only temporary, making it as poor an argument as possible, and nothing more than a pointless anecdotemonospaced
    • right... t's not even CLOSE to a wage, that's why it's the godamn stupidest argument I've ever heard for someone saying welfare is an alternative to working!monospaced
    • my point is that his friend wasn't living off it, and if he was, it was a shitty life, and would not last very longmonospaced
    • lol. what makes you think it was a shitty life?
      ********
    • Is mono still rambling? #VerbalDiarrhea repeating himself over and over and over again without saying mich. LMAOchukkaphob
    • says the guy who made up a not friend to make a shitty point that was and is so easily refutedmonospaced
