A few basic questions for the DUmmies
« on: August 22, 2014, 12:22:36 PM »
Why is government dependence such an attractive proposition for you?  Why do you think government can help you, or care about you, and that we should have as much of it as possible?

Outraged Welfare Punishes Work and Saps Dignity From the Desperately Poor? Please Sign My Petition!

http://petitions.moveon.org/sign/work-while-on-welfare?source=c.em&r_by=11132229
 
I'm on General Assistance welfare, which is the form of welfare people get if they are single, childless, and thus not eligible for all the "family-oriented" forms of the social safety net. I qualified for this because I was disabled but it was taking years for my SSI case to process. G.A. goes directly to my landlord, leaving me no cash to live on. I can pay for food with food stamps, but I have no means to pay for utility and phone bills, hygiene products, toilet paper, light bulbs, stamps and envelopes, bus and train tickets, over-the-counter medications, cleaning supplies, and a hundred other non-food items that people just need to get through their daily lives. Even Social Services, the creator of these rules, imposes demands that cost money for the "welfare recipient" who doesn't have a cash income"!
 
This leaves only 4 choices: begging on the corner, prostitution, petty theft, under the table work.
 
Now someone in the peanut gallery may be asking what happens if you try to do some casual work for necessities and legally report it, as Social Services requires you to do every quarter. What happens is Social Services punishes you by every means possible, puts you through time-consuming bureaucratic hell, tortures you with all sorts of stress, and, worst of all, undermines your housing situation because it takes back any money you earn out of the check to your landlord.

I've been told that the General Assistance welfare rules are different for every County and every State, which is one of the reasons it's so difficult to get a unified voice on the subject and explain why people on welfare are treated worse than prisoners in Gitmo - and show how the health, psychological, and dignity outcomes are all logical consequences of exposure to crushing circumstances. But I'm sure the fundamental absurdity is pretty much the same all over, so I hope that even if you are not from California and not from the Oakland Bay Area, you will still sign my petition and help shine a light on this ridiculous Rube Goldberg machine.

They cling to the delusional notion that government should provide them with a CEOs lifestyle at no expense or responsibility to them.

So another idiot wanting to get on disability. Then wants to work under the table. Seems like lots of liberals, dummies especially, end up on disability... and work under the table.

Problem solved!!!!!

You're doing the first already, the second is right out of the question if you look like the rest of the DUmmies, you've already tried the third and weren't any good at it, and as for the fourth, I seriously doubt you can do anything that anyone wants to pay for off the books.

If this 49 post waste case can work under the table, it sure as hell should be able to GET A FRICKIN' JOB on the up and up.

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
