Should Welfare Recipients be Forced to Perform Community Service?

[Doer]

Beenthere,

Are you just being a troll or a fucker? You do know most on "welfare" have full time or nearly full time jobs already? Obama is the food stamp king. More are receiving aid under his "watch" than during the great depression or any other time.

Lots of those on aid have children. Who the fuck do you think makes a country great? That's right, children. Children are the future work force.

If parents are forced to "volunteer," child care rates will go up because of that whole pesky demand thing. Will child care be free while you volunteer?

With increased demand, comes increased supply. With this new influx, comes less competent day care workers. Also, since demand is so high, more child predators will come to the "rescue." Those child victims will become future aid recipients rather than participating in the work force as "productive members of society."

A child's parents are most qualified to care for their children. Making sure those who want aid have children developing properly towards productivity would be better use of our time. But we don't do that.

All we care about is outside forces and not the problem itself. We don't give a fuck about our children like when our nation first formed. We just ship them off to school and let government make sure they're good. We lost our parenting.

If you think I'm wrong, look at Japan. It has negative population growth. Despite still its advances, if it doesn't solve its population problem, its population wiil be less than it was when Commodore Perry first step foot on their islands.

This thread is more retarded than Padwan's income cap thread. Sorry dude, one starred.

But, we can't let emotions cloud our judgment. That's the dupe.

Anyone that has become so complacent as to believe that taking money away from one part of society to give to another will teach self reliance and responsibility does not understand they are just another part of the problem.

There are millions of people who have received food stamps or other assisatance that have gone on to lead very productive lives - myself included, I got food stamps for a period of time after college.

What I wonder is why you expect government to "teach" anything at all, espeically self reliance to individuals but there you have it. You want government to "teach" us stuff and if they don't, government is a part of your imagined problem.

What is it with you guys and your disgust of anyone who may be in trouble?

 

[Doer]

No, my forum mate. The "left" has sold out for money. You are just labeling and not solving problems like WASTE.

You are deflecting the arguments as a Partisan. I would have voted for Hillary. I'm registered Independent. I've done stupid things in the name of Che...

I was a barefoot and very pissed off Freak, during Nam. Do you even know the definition of Dilettante?

Even Portugal just changed course, to appease the mob.
And when the mob is contrived as a tool of Ideo-war,
forum friends, we are in trouble. It is as dangerous as Religion.

What has to be taught, is self reliance and kindness. It does not matter who teaches it. Finger pointing matters who is to blame.
When I see that self reliance and kindness are no longer being valued, taught or displayed by the Left....well, it's sold out, hasn't it?

The movement I was a part of, is gone. Too kind, too trusting, we were, back then. Blind to the ways of power and co-opted messaging.
too ready to believe our own bullshit.

What is being taught now? What is being stamped out? It doesn't look good to this old Lefty.

And you don't think "self reilance" is being taught by the left? really? It would seem that it is the right that could use a few lessons on such things.

If the government cannot afford to hire a street cleaner, but can afford to pay someone nothing because that street cleaning job doesn't exist, why not just not pay that money as benefits and isntead pay it as a salary for the job as a street cleaner?

I never understand when governments say they cannot afford to pay for X job yet then give money away in the form of benefits.

should welfare recipients be forced to chew broken glass?

 

[Canna Sylvan]

Beenthere,

So what you're telling me is you're in favor of repealing child labor laws?

What has a child done? They're innocent. But when they become adults and aren't innocent, was up to us. It has then become the opportunity forgone. You can either make sure our nation's children become useful or treat them like shit.

Your attitudes are why we are in this shit hole. Children are the future. Liberals want to kill them all with abortion, you want them gone from society's burden.

There are two groups a nation needs to protect. Those who get us there, children, and those who got us there, elderly. People aren't magically born with the means.

People like you, the Ayn Rand cultists, on the one end, and the Bucky types on the far other end, disturb me.

It's not YOUR taxes, it's EVERYONE's taxes. Something both ends forget.

should welfare recipients be forced to listen to john madden read ayn rand novels?

What a setup. Do I need to go there?

 

[canndo]

Beenthere should, he is the one that is expecting government to teach us how to get along buy witholding help for the poorest.

 

[Mr Neutron]

And you don't think "self reilance" is being taught by the left?

nope

It would seem that it is the right that could use a few lessons on such things.

yup... that's why so many of us are not voting for Obomney.

That's you problem canndo, you didn't understand what I meant because you automatically thought of government as being the teacher.

Hence, "self reliance" something government is incapable of teaching and you must be proof of that!

 

[canndo]

I didn't "automaticaly" think of government as a teacher, in fact I never think of government as teaching anything at all. It seems you do. You want government to instruct the poor.

"Anyone that has become so complacent as to believe that taking money away from one part of society to give to another will teach self reliance and responsibility does not understand they are just another part of the problem." now if you aren't talking about government here, what are you talking about?

Exactly why our chilluns are coming out of school unable to think for themselves, not to mention kinda dumb.
