Why does this country reward laziness?

Question

How come people who don't work are rewarded with welfare, food stamps, free emergency care (for being un-insured), etc..etc...etc... But I, a hardworking man, must reach deep into my pockets for my medical care, groceries, school, taxes, etc..etc..etc.. Oh, I forgot to mention, my taxes pay for the lazy people's free handouts.

Note: I work at a hospital where the illegals and uninsured come in to the emergency room when they have a cold. they can't be turned away, so they use this as their primary care physician...Don't think it doesn't happen at your hospital, it does. And YOU are paying for it.

Also, when volunteering at a charity event for the less fortunate, it was amazing the people who pulled up in escalades (with those spinnin' wheels) for their grocery checks, food stamps, free meals, grab bags, childrens toys, etc...I'm so sick of the laziness and attitude of entitlement.

Answer 1

Not just that, I noticed that the jobs that literally run you ragged are the ones that pay the least.  Go figure.

Answer 2

they have learned they can vote themselves money from the treasury...vote dem,get a check

Answer 3

In theory, all of these programs are great. I absolutely believe that we should help people when they're down. I have no problem assisting someone in getting "back on their feet" financially. The system is taken advantage of to the point that it's no longer functional. It makes me sad. There are people who deserve a hand-up...and then there are lots of other people who get hand-outs

Answer 4

I can only tell you what I experience in Britain. The Labour government was elected in 1997 and they tackled the root causes of these problems. Unemployment entitlements were only given on condition that claimants proved they were looking for work and entitlement was renamed 'jobseekers allowence'. As a result he had under 3% unemplyment (the lowest stince WWII, 2% interest rates and 38 consecutive quarters of growth over 2.5%. Helping the weak makes us all stronger.

You may not want to hear this but the government has to accommodate these people on entitlements and help them rather than threatening to reduce benefits. There has to be consensus and understanding. Its the only was to replace the disillusionment of long-term unemployment with positivity and a can-do attitude.

Answer 5

Because they know they can get away with it, and know that suckers who work and the pay taxes will foot the bill for them.

Answer 6

Because of the liberals.

When they propose legislation which hands out free things at taxpayer expense, they are doing this for one reason:  To buy votes for themselves and their party.

When republicans or conservatives oppose these worthless handouts, the liberals hiss and p**s and hyperventilate to the public that Republicans "hate the poor" and "want to starve children" and want to "starve the elderly".

This is how these evil b******s operate.  They don't fool me, but they fool most of the drooling, idiots who are too stupid to see what's going on.
