To be fair, there are plenty of welfare cheats that are not living in poverty and do milk the frick out of a fricked up system.
I am never mad about those that need it. I get mad about the ones that abuse it and teach their kids to abuse it leading to it being a lifestyle many adopt and have come to expect.
Welfare is supposed to help people when they are down. It isn't supposed to support you for your whole life or for you to get free food so you can afford a new Escalade.

Not even close. It is a voluntary program by the phone companies.
It was codified during the Clinton administration and was expanded to cell service at the end of the Bush administration, though neither has anything to do with it.

BINGO!
However, I am pissed about it. I am pissed that I have to work my as off.. pay a shitload of taxes and get nothing in return while people out there are abusing every loophole imaginable.
Amazed that I voice my frustration here on TD who I like to think most people on here are similar to me (Love Sports, Beer, Chicks, movies, etc) and have to has a smart arse remark about what I am frustrated with.
Yet, these same people on here who have made smart arse remarks have bitched about the state of this country in other threads. A bunch of Hippocrates on this site

They really don't though. It doesn't take that much contact with people living a lifestyle that involves things like "Food Stamps or Medicaid" to realize it is really a pretty grim and non fulfilling one.
I do agree that some of the policies of the last 50 years or so have created disincentives to a perhaps tough but productive way of life and has fostered something of a dependent lifestyles in some instances. But it seems to me at least from what I can see that things are changing and that instances of life-long, generation to generation reliance on things like welfare are not as prevalent as they were (and were probably never as widespread as some assume).
Set a good example with your hard working ethic and life a happy productive life.

You can live the "Life of Riley" (do people even get this reference any more? ) too if this is the home and car you aspire to have. You have to share this car and home with your Mother, your wife (or baby mama as the case may be) your 3 kids, your wife/babymama's two other kids, your wife/babymama's sister and her 3 kids, and your cousin who may or may not be on meth/crack/marijuana.
You also get to live on the same street or next door to these guys:
or these guys:
But you get a sweet sweet phone, so I guess it's all worth it.

Would be great if you're right.

A family household making $100,000 a year, and having four children may only pay $6400 in federal taxes.
7% of those taxes go to medicaid $448
[link=(www.examiner.com/article/a-person-making-50-000-a-year-pays-10-cents-a-day-taxes-for-food-stamps)]LINK[/link]
This article explains how an average family may only pay $30 a year for food stamps.
It also explains how the same family may pay $190 including the 30 I mentioned before, towards other welfare programs including child deduction, which most people use they have children,and Railroad retirement.

My Verizon plan is effectively $75 month for unlimited talk/text and more data than i ever use and my internet is $45 a month--plenty fast to run roku perfectly. So that whopping $120/mo gives makes for a "better life"?

To be fair?
To be fair would be to provide some kind of actual substantiation by turning your "plenty" into an actual percentage of welfare recipients (psstt...there's lots of rich folks who get welfare too) that "milk the system".
Or, y'know, you could continue to post based on anecdotal evidence.

Welfare is so 90s. Disability is where it's at.

It's kinda like when I bitch that my sister's income tax return is so big yet I pay more in taxes than she makes. It bothers me up to the point that I realize I might like to get her tax return, but I'd never trade paychecks with her.
