Even the drop-out welfare class ought to figure out that someone is getting a lot more money out of welfare than they are. This information should be spread far and wide, perhaps with the caption: Who’s getting your share?

WHO'S GETTING YOUR SHARE? SCREW THE MAN, GET A JOB!

This is sickening. Sixty thousand dollars is a gross annual income for our family....in a good year, yet nanny government gives this much away to people because they're 'poor'.

So essentially, they wind up with MORE than people trying to support themselves......

and they wonder why Americans are getting ticked off?

How many years are we now without a Federal budget?

The media will start squawking about that on January 21st.

Maybe some sort of required money management class would help some impoverished folks change the root problem.

Maybe we should give evolution a chance and let the stupid ones starve and the smart ones figure it out for themselves.

I'm sure that sounds really cold, but I'm tired of supporting society's parasites while everyone deludes themselves into thinking the parasites will do better if they just get the right kind of 'help'.

Using data from U.S. Dept of Education, if you remove the amount of pell grants awarded to families who make over $20k a year, it would reduce the welfare per family figure by roughly $1.
