Holy shit people my posts on government handouts is SARCASM. I know you guys dont pay attention to my posts, but JHC you should know by now my attitude is fuck 'em. If they want an opportunity fucking create it. We spend TOO much money for people's lack of ambition.

Shall I go back to those posts and put /sarcasm at the end? Truth be told, there are MANY people who think we dont gove nearly enough to the...um...poor so Im sure my um....idea would fly with a few people.

IT WAS SARCASM.

It flew with me.

People will rise to the standards expected of them, if you hand out out shit to everyone who begs for it, people will look for ways to take advantage of it. I you let people suceed based upon their own merits and ambition, people will stop leeching off society and start doing something.

Heh my sister lived in an apartment complex that started renting to section 8. Lets just say within 12 months the legit renters were gone, including her due to the new clients. These people didnt work, or if they did, it wasnt much. Most of the time was spent hanging out in the courtyard, smoking, drinking, and cooking on grills. And I dont think there was a family with less than 6 kids.

Of course the incidence of fights and other petty crimes also went up astronomically. Which is why the hard working people left. They work hard for their money, they dont need to put up with the shit that came with Section 8 or have their car broken into for a radio either.
