Bad Service wanks about welfare and made-up statistics
ever_abstract makes a post to bad_service about a trip to the grocery store involving an incredibly obnoxious cashier-manager duo who give her a hard time about WIC.

This prompts starliteunicorn to tell the community that she thinks welfare is absolutely ridiculous. She goes on to inform us all:

I'm all for getting rid of it entirely. People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. And it bothers me. A lot. I don't get paid to just exsist-I have to work. I know some people CAN'T get jobs... but it seems extrodinarily unfair. Too many people leech off the welfare system without even ATTEMPTING to find work or get themselves to a better position. The stereotype of the drug addict mother to 6 different kids all with different daddies is true for about 65% of people coming through the various types of welfare (taken from a friend who does, indeed, work in a WIC office).

And it just snowballs from there.

	People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. Because EVERYONE is so GENEROUS when it comes to helping OTHER people o_O (Reply to this)(Thread)

	And instead of pooling that help through tax dollars and government aid, in the good old days you got to pick who you helped. None of those lazy blacks or immoral gays were getting your money, no siree. (Reply to this)(Parent)
