I am proud not to fall into this, and my wife and I work to keep our daughter from this. I think it's really sad that people just do nothing for themselves. They want the american dream for free, and there are politicians who want to help them get some of it for not much.
My parents gave me nothing when I turned 18 and expected rent money, I'm better off for it. My wife and I have done everything by ourselves, have never been on welfare, medicaid, wick, and I only ever received 1 unemployment check even though at times we likely could've taken advantage of someof those programs. I can hold my head up today and be proud of where we are. I don't understand how anybody who has taken handouts, or lived off their parents while dressing in designer clothes, or driving cool cars, can look anyone like me in the eye and act proud of themselves like everything they've done is cool. Fuck those people, if you need help fine, but most people just need forced into making their own way.
