My thoughts of Today.. The Welfare System

Those who know me know that I am very passionate about this. I am one of the many Americans that live paycheck to paycheck. I might have about 20 dollars left to my name afterwards. I am just fed up with the many people who abused the system. I know there are many people out there that has no choice in the matter.

I want to first start off with those who are in the country illegally. I know that some come here for a better life. Don't get me wrong, I would do the same thing. I just will work harder to get the things I want. (That is what I am trying to do now). I know many of them live in a 4 to 6 families to a house. I know cause I have a lot of them as neighbors. I work for a supermarket so I see a lot of them come in with EBT and WICS. They already getting free health care and do not have to pay taxes. This is what I am mad about. How come I am the one working my ass off, having to pay taxes every week when I get my check. I am over 25 single with no children, that is almost 150 dollars of taxes taken out my check a week. So I feel if they are going to live here, PAY DAMN TAXES... Then when it comes to healthcare, I pay about 50 dollars a week because of my insurance. Someone got to tell me what is up with that. I might go to the doctor about 3 times a year. After paying my co pay I am still spending about 50 to 100 dollars for the visit.

I also get fed up with the whole EBT system. I have wrote about this on my website many of times. I have also stated my dislike for it on my and MrChap's blogtalk show. I have applied many times to get the EBT card. I done it because I am helping my mother with her medication (too much dern money, no Medicine should cost 100 dollars). So I said having an EBT card will help out with the food bill. Well they only offered me 10 dollars the first time. The next time it was 25 woop de fu do...

I have seen people in there buy nothing but JUNK food on that card and still had about 600 dollars left on a card. They might come in and spend 300 dollars full of junk and have about 900 dollars left on a card. Heck I don't get to eat Shrimp, Crablegs, and Ribeye Steak. I am the one paying for all of that though. It is freakin ridiculous. Then they turn around and get into a nice SUV or Car. I can't even afford to buy a car at this point.

So what is wrong with this system.. A lot is wrong if you ask me. Someone can get a disabilty check if they can't manage money. They can get one if they are Bi polar, pees on themselves or over 300 to 400 lbs. I can't believe we live in a world that people just can lie, cheat, and steal from hard working people and get away with it.
