Guess Who's On The Public Dole? Guess Who Doesn't Care?

Whatta you think about all the attacks on social programs of the government? You wouldn't happen to be one of the folks that have been complaining about all the lazy deadbeats who won't get a job so they jump on the government feeding trough they call a safety net are ya? Boy doesn't it beat all how so many poor folks just don't even try. They just suck up all the government money and spend that money on wasteful things like food and shelter. Well the truth has finally come out about them, and them is us. Now I know it may be hard to own up to the fact that most people receiving government largess in the form of social programs like earned income returns and food stamps are in the middle class. Yep. The hard working folks from middle America. Not the poor? Nope, not the poor. Oh the poor get help too, but most people on the public dole, are the people. People who are working full time. Some holding down two or more jobs and still needing help to survive. A lot of them are the folks who have been complaining the loudest and who are some of the folks getting government help themselves. Maybe that's so other "good" folks won't know they're getting help. Pride can be a heavy burden. But when your kids are hungry or cold or need a new pair of shoes to go to school, you shouldn't just take and then badmouth others for the same problem. That's exactly the right time to stand up and defend a service that you know helps you too, or that at least it's ready to help you if you need it. There's no shame in needing help. There's only shame in refusing to give help when and where it's needed. The thing is, we could cut out a lot of unnecessary things from our own budgets and our state's and federal budgets without hurting the folks who truly need help. If you vote to cut these safety nets, then shame on you. If you accept help and don't support the programs, what's wrong with you? If you're well off and don't need this help, then why do you despise those who do need the help? Shame on you.
