Bad Service wanks about welfare and made-up statistics
[info]ever_abstract makes a post to [info]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 [info]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.

Oh, wow. I won't say that I'm very shocked by the railing against welfare in general (some of my wealthier family members like to sing that song as soon as the topic of politics comes up), but she's bringing a special kind of crazy to it.

The purpose of the internet is to concentrate and then widely distribute porn the crazy.
