It's the borough council's wife who claims that it is just her and her children because she only works part-time hours, completely neglecting to say that her husband lives in the household and has his own construction business that was just awarded a million-dollar contract.
It is the "permanent resident" who says she only receives $500 a month support for her anchor babies from their father, while forgetting to report that she has her own "multiservice agency" that she claims she makes no money on when she files her taxes.
It's the man who conveniently works just enough hours not to go over the maximum income limit to qualify for Medicaid.
It's the woman who works a new job every 6 weeks because she has to quit because it is a hostile work environment.
It is the 50-year-old man who lives at home to take care of his 80-year-old mother because his father left a sizable trust to care for her, so he lives at home and drives a new sports car while he "takes care of" her.
It; 's the 19-year-old anchor baby of a permanent resident who has been receiving benefits her whole life, and how is pregnant and unemployed, so she has to move out of her family's house....just because.
Oh, and many, many, many employers offer health insurance, but they don't take it because "then I would have to pay for it."
I could go on and on and on. You need any more?
How about the vast amount of people who actually do qualify and are dependent on the system. Some families have only one working parent/spouse often due to disabilities, health issues and homeschooled children. Some are working minimum wage jobs and don’t earn enough to pay for healthcare insurance and also not everyone gets health insurance through their jobs. Is there fraud and abuse in the system? Oh absolutely and I’m sure it’s rampant as with any government benefit program. An audit of Medicaid would be very appropriate. But let’s not discrete those American citizens who legit qualify and depend on this system and otherwise is doing everything they can to survive.
Actually, the vast majority of people on Medicaid are fully capable of working a full-time job, but they refuse to do so. I don't know where you live, but there are plenty of good-paying jobs that are begging for employees, but everyone seems to think they are entitled to $50 an hour. They also seem to think that they are entitled to take time off whenever they want and all the time they want. So you're saying I should pay for them?
For the guys that want their wife (actually, she is most likely his baby mama because no one seems to marry anymore) to stay home with their kids, it's now MY responsibility to pay for their health care (medical, dental and vision, you know the stuff I am paying $250 a month for) and their food?!?! Why?
Where the hell is personal responsibility in all this? The friggen Democrats sold the bleeding heart story of all the poor downtrodden people who deserve welfare in this country. They have you believing that it is YOUR responsibility to take care of everyone else. Well, it's not.
