Why should able bodied freeloaders be allowed to collect welfare without working while hard working overtaxed taxpayers are forced to pay for them?

Why are hardworking taxpayers being forced to pay for freeloading able bodied welfare leeches who refuse to work?

Can’t just look at graphs. Covid has definitely has an impact. You can’t cater to everyone. & Some people have jobs off and on. My guess is things will even out more as things get more stable again. I have friends who should, but don’t want to because they think it’s embarrassing.

Because the system is rigged. Single women should get a little time with their new baby, and then the government should offer free daycare. Then the mother has no excuse to not work. But the way it is, moms can have unlimited babies, and collect for all of them. This isn't good for anyone.

Because the alternative is putting them out on the street, crippling the value of the money you DO have on top of them costing you far more in emergency medical expenses. This way is cheaper.

Because I'm black.

Not really, but I'll say I am for some free gibbs.

because the government allows them to pop out random kids whenever they feel like it, to increase their welfare intake, so they consider that a job. personally there should be a cut off after a couple of kids and you continue to get welfare, like you shouldn't be able to continue popping out kids from random men if you can't afford the ones you have.

B3cause the system is set up in case u was ever fired from your job or in a position that u could no longer work unfortunately its just abused by people that make the system seem shit even though the essence of it is a positive

We need work camps to put these people to work, there a lot of environmental clean up work that could be done by these fuckin free loaders. Cronic homeless, drug addicts, all forms of able bodied unemployed can go.

[slatyb]

Which able-visited people are you talking about? A single adult can't get food stamps AFAIK.

[RingOfFire]

If you read the post you will clearly see which able bodied people I am talking about. It is spelled out in detail in the charts.

[slatyb]

No, it's not. There's no link to the source. Anyone can make a chart.

[RingOfFire]

The link to the source is at the bottom of the post.

Furthermore your question was about how able bodied people are defined in the charts posted. The answer to that question is already clearly stated in the charts.

[slatyb]

Is there a link to the USDA data that supports those assertions?

[slatyb]

That website may have been the source of the charts. BFD. Anyone can make a chart. Where is the data to support those assertions.

[RingOfFire]

Do your own research and give me the numbers that show these are wrong. Then you might have some credibility. The key word here is MIGHT.

[RingOfFire]

PS There is a link to the full paper in the link. If you would stop spouting BS and actually READ the study you will see that there is an entire page of reference citations. So if you want to dispute the study you need to get to work because so far all you are spouting is garbage.

[slatyb]

"Do your own research" -- the universal cry of conservative propagandists making assertions unsupported by the data. When I make a claim I either include the data, or admit that I have none.

[slatyb]

So post the link to the paper? You know where to find it, you post it.

[RingOfFire]

I swore I wouldn't waste any more time with one of these people who post nothing of substance, can't read, don't do their homework before they write and spend their whole case trying to attack the messenger. But in pity I am posting the link to the paper that appears right at the top of the page. This will be my last post here. See if you can learn something useful.

There's no link to the source data.

[slatyb]

That paper is nothing but assertions. Where's the data that supports them? Not mentioned, not linked.
