People like her shouldn't have children!

Tell me if you can't read the article, you might need an IBD subscription like I have.

This is an old article about a mentally ill woman in Florida.

You couldn't find any whites or hispanics to prove your point?

What are you trying to do with this post?

I'm curious.

I still can't believe there are still relics like you posting this nonsense, especially in this horrible economy.

The welfare "kings" and "queens" now live in Suburbia. The welfare soccer moms will travel in "poor" neighborhoods to food pantries to get food, so they're neighbors won't see them. Little do they know, these neighbors are on the dole just like they are.

Ronald Reagan is DEAD. Has been for quite sometime.

i don't like her attitude. I don';t like to help those people.
What do she mean by "somebody needs to pay for all her children and somebody needs to be held accountable"?

IF she said i'm sorry i make a mistake, I should go school instead of making all those children, then i would help.

These people are hypocrisy personified.

Truly awful.

They won't pick on or talk about the rich and how Wall Street raided our coffers for billions. No, it's the evil welfare mother with 4 kids collecting a pittance in welfare and foodstamp benefits that are the enemy.

That woman isn't mentally right and it's obvious to everyone looking at her. Florida's foster care system is so bad that they'd rather pay to keep all of her kids with her, then split them up into other homes.

Of course, the OP would show you the EXTREME examples of the spectrum to prove some type of "point".

What kills me is that STT posted about how the OP has been unemployed for 10 years, lives on disability and his parents support him.

Does he not consider disability an "entitlement" program or is it only a problem when a minority is on it??

I didn't start this thread to flaunt my stuff; I was sharing an article I came across. AND I DIDN'T PUNCH AN OLD MAN ON A BUS FOR NO REASON.

I was on youtube at the moment I posted this thread and that woman was a good example of welfare abuse.

I wasn't picking on black people, it's just that the woman in the video was black.

There are only 144 million listed as employed in the latest BLS report (http://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/empsit.pdf). Your factcheck article reports that 142 million of those are full time workers. I find it hard to believe we only have 2 million part time workers in the US with all of the retail there is across the US.

Not saying the article is correct, but the fact check articles need to be "fact-checked" too.

MOST retail workers are full time.

Obviously your "reason" wasn't good enough to save you from an assault conviction ...

And of course you didn't start this thread to flaunt your stuff but that always comes back to bite you (and always will) whenever you have the sheer temerity to criticize people who abuse the social services system. The irony never fails to escape you.

Jesse, you conveniently skipped responding to this post. Care to comment?

Jesse, you are a hypocrite, plain and simple.
