SERIOUS QUESTION !!! Who agrees with me : People on WELFARE should NOT be allowed to have kids...TRUE OR FALSE
Unbelievable...Ignorant people so far;Has it ever occurred to any of you that people on welfare intentionally have children to gain more assistance from the government ? Anybody who applies for it or has been receiving it should not be allowed to have any more children.A good portion of those kids are not well-educated,not raised right,and do not contribute anything positive to society.The world is over-populated as it is(a severe understatement),and these 'certain people' should not be allowed to manipulate the system like that(the majority of them are lazy as hell and awful parents),and we do not need these types of kids brought into this world anyway.

My parents were on welfare.They were not disabled.They were extremely lazy and pathetic.I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters.They intentionally had us one by one to receive more money.I DO know what I am talking about.I was the only one out of my family with a half-way success story.

I don't necessarily agree that they shouldn't be allowed to have kids - although where I'm from I also know for a fact that people have more kids to get more welfare money. Instead, I propose that people be allowed to stay on welfare for a certain time period, then they have to get a job unless they are cleared by a medical doctor working for the welfare department to remain on welfare because of an illness or injury that prevents them from working. Make welfare a bit like unemployment but a bit more long-term. Don't allow them to be on it for life. There are people where I am from who are third and fourth generation welfare recipients. They have no motivation to make something of themselves because they saw their parents and grandparents make a semi-decent living doing nothing but receiving money from other people's taxes. So instead of saying "you can't have children," I think the welfare program should be set up so that you get a flat rate. Little or no extra money for more children, and have the Department of Family Services make regular checks on the families and if there's the slightest hint of a problem (such as the parents not being able to take care of their children), take the children away and revoke the welfare.
I know this will never work and never will be passed, but the welfare problems in this country need to be fixed somehow! There's no way you can prohibit a person from having children except in extreme cases where a court has approved it, but severe enough discouragement should most definitely be a key to the welfare system!
I have a better solution. We should put an end to immigration, and an end to welfare. Why are we providing for idle people? It has been known, forever that those that get free stuff do not contribute to society.
I grew up poor. I mean poor like most of you have never seen. I have what I have today because I busted my butt. I went into the military and did my time during the first desert storm. I took my military benefits, and went to school, while I worked two jobs. I did this because I wanted to get a nice salaried white collar job. I never received a cent of assistance of any kind.
You are correct about lazy awful parents. I have seen many in my days. If there is a good welfare parent out there, I have never met them.
why not make welfare a temporary thing... in the meantime they have to prove they are making a move towards having a better life... for example finding a job, or enrolling in school, or joining an organization which will help people find work job skills making a resumé etc... if they don't they should lose welfare. after a certain amount of time if they don't find a job they should lose it, also if when they do find a job ( while submitting pay-stubs to prove they are making $$ and enough to live on) they should lose welfare... i also think if it was this way they can have a cap on how many times they can be on welfare...
telling people they can't have children is wrong and immoral! there are other ways to get around this problem...
The way welfare was set up it only lasted for a short time. Welfare needs to be rewritten to be a supplement to income. So as a person works they receive some added income to make up the difference of a living wage.
I agree with you though, to the point that after receiving welfare for some time straight, they should receive no more welfare, and their children should be put up for adoption if the parents still cant care for them.
The last option is basically to force the parents into work. The government could provide jobs cleaning public toilets.
I think that people should have to take birth control until they get a license to have kids.
A motor vehicle license and a parenting license ought to have a psyche eval attached to them, to be readministered every four years. Keep us crazies off the roads and out of the maternity wards.
I am sorry for your crappy life, mine was crappy too and my parents were too proud to take public assistance. They just made us do without. Bad parents come in all shapes and styles.
