People are generally suffering in the poor finanicial climate and lots are unemployed and living off government programs because they simply have no chance. It is that or starve. Now yes there are many more who abuse such programs...but you really paint with a broad stroke. Yvonne the other day made a post about 90 applications sent in, 3 interviews, no job. And things are kinda like that here too in my city. I turned down a job recently, because I don't need the money and felt I was only getting it because of my popularity in that segment of the community...where meanwhile 1/2 of my friends parents are out looking for the same jobs. That may not make sense to you, but it bothered me to go work some hours for shits and giggles and free McD food on the sly while someone else needed it to keep a roof over their head.
if you really feel that way about the unemployed etc. Jesus fucking christ. If it is just those preying on the system...maybe you need to make that distinction better.
Poor = chav to many a toff (wannabe).
