Why should my hard earned money go to those less fortunate?
#49
RE: Why should my hard earned money go to those less fortunate?
Some general thoughts... 1. Prosecution of those found abusing the system through fraud, or falsification of eligibility.

2. A much better screening process to evaluate and identify those in need. (I am all for offering substantial help to the less fortunate, especially those willing to give an honest effort)

3. Drug screening! No need to elaborate.

4. Some form of limit on benefits, either through time or amount of benefits. Though this is a tough one as every case is different.

I work more hours than anyone I know. I enjoy helping others, and support social programs. We all will benefit from others prospering. That said, funds are limited. Those truly in need will benefit most by having these programs remain funded by weeding out the riff raff.
