They are a drain on society. Lazy, good for nothing illiterate, hate-filled, loudmouthed racists. These people make me sick. They are a drain on society.

Some people on public assistance really do want to better themselves. As a working mother, I know the biggest expense aside from the mortgage is child care. If these people want to stay on public assistance and have many children, and get the "free" ride, then you have to work in a child care facility so other productive members of society can go out and work and try to better themselves and GET OFF PUBLIC ASSISTANCE. Makes sense to me. I have always had this idea and can’t understand why it would not work. Some people on public assistance really do want to better themselves.

He was killed in Afganistan last week. If I had to power to put one of the Sharon Jaspers of this world in his place - would I? In a New York minute. How about this for a scenario - if you want society to pay for sheltering, clothing and feeding your family - you have to put on a uniform and join the people who are laying their life on the line every day. Earn your keep. What a concept. And another thing…the media has been in our town for the past few days covering a kid who graduated from our school and joined the Marines, and who came home in a box.

Nothing is more nauseating than standing in the grocery checkout line behind the fat (they're always fat) chick with the acrylic manicure, lots of gold jewelry, frosted highlights in her hair who is paying for her steaks and frozen dinners with her food stamp card. Because I was raised by incredible (hard-working) parents, I have instilled in me the ability to restrain myself from running over her in the parking lot with my $1500 used car. The solution is simple and obvious - limit benefits to one year unless the parents have been injured or disabled, institute mandatory monthly drug testing to everyone receiving assistance and any housing provided to leeches such as Sharon Jasper be given without TVs or any other luxuries that are unnecessary for basic survival. Take the money saved and invest in better housing and benefits for soldiers and their families. I am a single mom who has raised three children without ever being on “the draw”.

I commend you for your courage and strong-willed determination to get through such a difficult situation without looking for a handout. But, please do not be too proud to accept some help. I agree that no one has the right to subsist off the hard work of others, but there is a huge difference between accepting a helping hand to help you get back on your feet, so to speak, versus expecting someone else to continually support you. I think most people are compassionate and enjoy knowing they can make a difference in someone else's life -- they just do not want their generosity exploited, which is what those who make living off welfare a way of life actually do. If you have not already, I encourage you to visit the nearest church and convey your struggles and needs with the pastor or an elder. There are many, many good, honest, and hardworking people who have experienced similar crises -- and I believe that the majority of people are genuninely moved when they see a person/family in need and are happy to lend a helping hand. I would say that your situation is what such aid was originally intended for. I’m sorry to hear that you are going through so much right now while struggling to raise two small children.

And now you give back everyday by teaching our children. Thank you so much for what you said and for knowing what is right vs taking advantage of what you could have.
