[QUOTE="DriveInDriѵeOut, post: 1548040, member: 44954"] Imagine someone who has received a terrible education under little to no parental supervision, who has no marketable skills, and who speaks a dialect of the English language that makes them ineligible for professional occupations. They take the only low paying jobs left in America for people like this, and are incapable of supporting themselves and their children. They make ends meet with entitlement programs, just as their parents before them did. Would you say this person [B]wants[/B] to be on permanent assistance? Or are they simply participating in the system offered to them. Your solution is to put a 2 year cap on assistance. You can't seem to grasp that this isn't a solution to the real problems at all. The entitlement system alone does not produce these people. It does, however, keep us from being forced to have a real conversation about poverty. It's much easier to just throw money at it, or to say they're lazy freeloaders and welfare queens and they should get nothing. Topics like how to properly educate our citizens, and how to keep well paying jobs for the working class in this country are much more complicated issues. [/QUOTE]
