Glad to see my tax dollars at work

She had a job as a hair stylist but only got commission. No customers, no money. It's not like she wasn't trying...the place she worked at just didn't see much business. That didn't last too long though. i think the majority of people on welfare are honest people...a lot of them just have too much pride and end up dismissing jobs that they feel are beneath them.

A friend of mine's mother worked at a bank and used to cash welfare checks for people. Some of them would drive up in a Mercedes.

People I know who have too much pride to take a given job have way too much pride to take welfare. That's not to say there aren't plenty of honest people on welfare, but I question whether the majority is honest or dishonest.
