Think about 15,000 murders a year, times 17 years, since something like that happened. They weren't gun deaths, though, were they?

I understand that some people need wellfare, But the ones who are having like 9 kids because they have been taught that for every kid they have that they get a certain amount of money plus the more kids you have the more foodstamps you get,Well fuck that those days they are using for that are longgggggggggggg gone!!! I also 100% agree that all on any kind of Gov. Help need to be drug tested once a month. Mickey.

Poverty, in my opinion is probably more a function of one's ability to get/hold a better paying job. There may be a number of reasons for one to be poor and/or receiving welfare. Some may not be intelligent enough to get/hold a higher paying job, some may not be physically capable of holding a higher paying job, some may be the result of a series of events in their lives (think single parent/special needs child, student), some may be what I refer to as "slackers"... the list goes on. A better off financially person shoots/kills someone for greed? Possibly, but I can think of a number of cases where a better off financially person killed someone for reasons other than greed. Do the initials O.J. ring a bell? Is poverty a contributing factor to stress that may push someone over the line? Probably, just as any other stressful situation that anyone rich or poor may encounter in their life. It's ones ability to handle their own emotions and their ability to make wise choices given the situation.

And you have known some who did. Hard work isn't the same as good work, any more than hard luck is good luck, or hard times are good times. Sometimes hard work just breaks you down, and then you're incapacitated. And then you might be on welfare.

I grew up in the Lompoc Valley and out in country CA there are a lot of food growing valleys. All through out my life I grew up with and have lived near field workers. Many of my school friends put themselves through College by working in the fields. A couple of times I had thought about working the fields. Yes it is hard work but it is meaningful work. You make an honest living and working your way up ends up paying very well. Family units that work the fields are strong, healthy nuclear families. Everyone has a strong work ethic. Dang near every hispanic cop I work with, or was in the military with, grew up this way. Right now America's so called "poor" are so well paid this country has to import workers to work our fields. I say end welfare and lead the people to meaningful jobs and healthy families.

User Details are only visible to members.	why are poor people poor? because they want to be.they are lazy,the goverment will give them a pay check for doing noting.a person who don't want to be poor will do something about it.hey school is free.you don't go to school,can't read or write.thats your fault.I had a uncle who started taking care of him self at 11 years old,had his own apartment at 14 selling newspapers in the 50s. be came a plumber making union wages at 23.why? because he did not want to be poor.he did it him self.he couldn't read or write until he was 25 years old.so don't give me that bullshit they are poor because they are at a disadvantage.I went to the 9 grade.I have never been poor.I took care of me,always made top wages,why? because I worked hard thats why.poor people are poor because they don't want to change who they are..............end of that bullshit..........BS
