I fought each battle with my family and friends by my side. My parents died when I was 19, and at 22 I almost lost my husband in a car accident when some kids were drag racing and put him in a coma. These are my real-life problems. In fact, I would have a better life if the government would step aside and stay out of it more. Another example of irresponsibility is the government welfare system.
Many people believe welfare is a necessary service.
I believe it should be used as a safety net, but not used as a hammock. I have lived in many parts of this country, and I have always been able to find some kind of work. It was not always glamorous work, nor was it big money, but I have never been too proud to work hard for my family. Many people today have forgotten those values and work ethics. How truly sad, indeed, to be willing to give up your liberty for a small sum of cash each month that keeps you trapped in such a unhappy, unhealthy and unproductive lifestyle.
