Anybody Know Anything About Welfare

I can't believe some of this bs that I am reading. I work and go to school and take care of my kids and feel like I should be able to get some benefits. They take it out of my check every two weeks. Why can't I get something back. My only problem is with those who are trying to do nothing but making collecting welfare a career. You will never be finacially stable unless you are rich. Some of us do need help. I have worked my whole life and taxes have been taken out to help those in need. It's funny that when I sudenly became one of those people, I can't get the help that I paid for. Some people are so stuck up and think that they will never need help. For those in that category, what will you do if you become disabled and can't do anything for yourself and your kids? Nothing is forever and you should think about that befor you start judging others.

pregnant&broke I am your age and in the same situation except the father of my child is going to jail on a domestic charge. I am in college and up until here recently was working two jobs, and I had to quit one after being in the hospital for over doing it. I almost lost my son.Before I got pregnant I would have looked at welfare the same way as that snoody Kelly but everyone doesn't have a planed pregnancy and needs the a__sistance. I was on birth control when I got pregnant then the father left now I am stuck with the bills. My parents help what they can, but there is only so much they can do. I like you have to have that a__sistance.

I dont think that any person in here has the right to judge anyone based on there situation. The fact is, we are all going to pay taxes no matter what, I highly doubt one mother needing help supporting her child is going to make the world go broke. I am a single mother and about to have my 2nd child even though I dont get any gov' help, it is hard to try and work with a baby. I personally have been using ebay to make money (usually 500$ a week) everyone has their own reasons for needing help and I praise the lady that came to ask for help, if its not like she doesnt already feel bad that she cant take care of her baby alone, I highly doubt she needs other women making her feel bad. I hope you find the help you need and dont listen to these other insecure women trying to make you feel bad for wanting what is best for your baby.

I'm sure by now Pregnant&Broke had her baby. I agree with Single Mom comepletely. I don't think that P&B would want it for herself, she is just looking out for her BABY who is the most important issue. Whether or not her pregnancy was accidental or intended, the BABY still has to eat! I wouldn't give a d__n how many of my tax dollars went out to feed a child in need and if Public a__sistance was the only way to feed a child who is disadvataged for whatever the reason then so be it! And some of you high and mighty's on this board don't act like yawl never cheated, schemed and scammed in your life time!

It's also VERY easy to say "GET A JOB" when you have someone helping you. No one knows that woman's situation. It's hard enough to raise a child alone there is absolutely no need for anyone to be treated in this manner, who simply has no other alternative.

My goodness! I can't believe some of you people here. It seems that some people lack compa__sion for others. Many tax dollars are a__sumed wasted by some. That is just the way that it is. If we can help out other countries why not help people in our own country. I do know what it is like to be a teenager and pregnant and all on your own. My child is now 20 years old. I am now married with 2 more children and another on the way. My husband just recently left me. Now what? I can't afford daycare for 2 young children and a newborn baby! What about blaming the fathers that walk out feeling that they have no responsiblity to their children. It really takes at least 2 people to raise children now-a-days. I don't have a family that will help me. Many people are in this situation and they need the help! What, are the kids suppose to just starve to death and live out on the streets because some people don't understand or want their taxes going to this cause??? Some woman are just to sick to work when they are pregnant! I have been so ill the past 4 months it isn't funny! Who knows maybe someday some of you that point the finger will end up in the same horrible situation as some of these women on here. I hope that all of you in the same situation as me get the help that you need for you and your children! Your Americans you deserve it! God Bless.

I'm all for what Nicole and Kelly said. Welfare is a drain on society. I believe in free-trade and a market capitalistic society. I think it works. I paid nearly 65,000 dollars in taxes last year and it royally sucked! I work hard and I'm creative about how I arrive at my funds. I never asked for financial aid in college, I never have asked for insurance of anykind (except car because they make you), and I do not come from a wealthy family. There are lots of jobs that she can get. She could do something at home like telephone operating. She can start her own business like I did. Getting into a loop where you always have someone to depend on is BS. Women need to be stronger and more a__sertive and stop whinning about all their d__n problems.

You most definitely need a new accountant! A tax shelter and or an off shore account. The IRS loves suckers like you, by the way no matter how much you paid in taxes rest a__sured the great majority of it went to defense rather than social programs.

I was going to say the same thing to Alishah because in reality after 70k you dont pay anymore in taxes than if you made 1 million so how is it you paid so much in taxes. Thats for one. Sounds like a dream. Im happy to help support those less well off. Vive La Republique!

i think no one in this forum really has any room to talk about anything. Cause one day, you may need to rely on the system and the help of those who were helped by the system and were able to get off. Yes, some people do abuse the system...but geez, give the lady a break. Even if she does get a job, its still hard to save up and have to worry about food, shelter, and her child. So chill out and have more sympathy. Some of you guys are pathetic. And when you need help from someone, just think back on what you told this woman right here, and then be grateful that hopefully not everyone is like you.

 

katie - November 29

I am in the same place as you are. Im 24 and 25 weeks pregnant. The father is here but I cant really depend on him for anything anymore! I had a good job but when I was three months pregnant the fired me. When I tried to get unemployment my ex employer worded things in a negative way so my claim was denied. So I've tried to find a job but no one really wants to hire a pregnant woman. I figure I ve paid my taxes and thats what the aids for so just do whats right for you and your baby.
