is it racist?

[SamIam71]

Im not going to say that anyone's opinion is wrong here, but I work hard, to live the way I do and put myself through college, and I hate it when I see people, whether they are white, black, somalian, or turtlemonkey, drive nicer vehicles than me, have nicer phones then me, and then in the line at the grocery store they buy $300 worth of groceries with EBT.... Or the people that have ba car audio systems but are still on public assistance. It's absolutely ridiculous. Welfare started out as something good, but people abuse it. I really dont think that there should be any form of public assistance, and yes, Ive never really fallen on "hard times" but there have been a few months where money is tight and I had to be frugal. Im sure that there are some people that really do need welfare, but with such a lack of regulations on it, and the amount of people that abuse it, I think that it has become a pointless system.

What percentage of recipients are abusing the system?

I dont even think that there is a statistic that could really measure that. I am basing that opinion on what I have personally seen.

Not sure. I know how to pronounce the word, but with the "V" making the short "B" sound in spanish, I am not sure which is the proper spelling. Do you know which is right?

Of course there are statistics. It is a government function.

I totally agree with you. I think that the government and businesses are far too much involved with eachother. Do I have a problem with the rich getting richer? No. But I come from a lot different circumstances than most so I am sure that some of your opinions will differ from mine.

I have never went without in life, but I don't have to in order to understand what it is like.

interesting stats

not really anything on abuse though... I mean, how many people when polled will actually want to admit to abusing the system?

I didn't bother looking at that, but not to be rude, it is just literally a function of government to track waste, fraud and abuse. They will provide the statistics.

Hell, I got curious and looked. No mention of where their data came from, but there was no mention of fraud.

The numbers come from how many are caught abusing the system.

Yes I work hard too. But even with the current welfare program, I'd rather have it exist so that the needful can benefit from it even if there are a-holes abusing it, rather than to get rid of the program and have the needful people suffer.

also, I have no problem with hispanics or asians. They both seem to be very industrious races. I really could care less for most blacks and somalians though.

people who hate other ethnicities typically didn't grow up around them.
