Does some people take the easy way out?

What is Welfare? The welfare program is financial assistance paid by the tax payers to people who do not support them selves. Have you ever stopped to think how many people in today’s world that is on the welfare system that just seems to be lazy? I know there are the disabled, and the mentally challenged that cannot provide for them selves.

These people are the reason we pay taxes, to help and support these people. But I have noticed and been around people in my life that doesn’t seem to have a thing wrong with them except pure laziness.





We have those who are single mothers, or those without a diploma, or need children to be in day care. Most of these are on welfare instead of having specific social programs for them to sign up for and be helped. Most women, who just come out of school, single and have a baby winds up on welfare all the time. “Because she doesn’t have the money”. When yet people who actually need the money and cannot get out and are dying and are sick aren’t getting the most of the welfare as they deserve. For example unwed mothers CAN work. When most women know that if they are unwed and just had a baby and they know they can get on welfare with hands down, in my opinion I think some just become lazy because they can.







Also, there is some people here in the U.S who will use ever excuse for an illness to be put on welfare so they don't have to go out and get a job. Once again, it brings me back to the same point. People are just lazy. Im not saying everyone is lazy but knowing that you are able to work and you're taking away money that can help save people from being on the streets and dying, you should just be ashamed of yourself. I have learned that you can report these people as welfare fauds. And they are suppose to get prison time. But of my knowledge i haven't found anyone that's been reported to have turned anyone in.







I believe the government needs to take a stand and start investigating the people who try to pose frauds and get by with it. Why do i care? Because, i know people who are out on the streets or in nasty housing or people who are mentally and physically sick and can't do anything, and their not getting the money they deserve. Their barely getting by. In my opinion, i think it's wrong we have these people who are "not able" out here trying to get by with getting free money when they are more then capable of working and even gettin more money to support them selves. But their just so lazy and seem to want to be waited on hand and foot. I honestly feel sorry for these people. Because i think their such a disgrace.
