Bernice: A friend of mine has a step son. He lives off the State. He gets all his medical free AND gets a monthy paycheck (as does his daughter who is 3). The mother of the little girl is a meth head. So she can't care for her own kid. The father of the little girl has muscular dystrophy. But he is able to do many things. He drives, has parties, and seems capable of doing many tasks. Yet all he does is live off the State. He was into drugs when younger, conceived his daughter with his meth head lover, and now can't deal with the consequences of his actions and so people like me are supporting him via our taxes. That is not right. He stays up late and sleeps late into the day. His step-dad is forced to watch the grandkid because the dad is too out of it! He is one of thousands across America with little incentive to work. And the State has no problem taking my money out of my pocket and giving it to him so he can sit on his ass and do nothing.

And get this: His step-dad and mom take care of him (he lives with them). They are actually getting paid as he is a ward of the State and they have become his licensed caregivers. So, The mom and step-dad get a monthly check, his daughter gets a monthly State-aid check, and HE gets one too.

Paid by people like me. nice.
