(February 18, 2011 at 3:20 am)theVOID Wrote: I oppose welfare for all but the destitute poor and disabled, people who could work but don't shouldn't be allowed welfare, if it was a small tribe they'd be sent packing off into the wild.

But what if there are no jobs? I work part time in a bar, I can't get any more hours there as the bar is only open at weekends. I am constantly searching and applying for full time work but after a few months I am yet to get any further than interviews. The fact is there isn't enough jobs around lately...so as I'm able to work and despite applying form any roles you think I should loose the help I get from the state to pay for my home? So I should become homeless because there are not enough jobs? hmmm.
