I Need to Rant

It realy bothers me that a person i know completely takes advantage of the system..when i work full time..make just over minimum wage..dont drink..dont smoke..dont do drugs..work out and take care of my kids..yes shes a single mom on the system but brags she gets more money than me a month...i thought the system was supposed to make you want to get off your ass and work..not make more than someone working full time.. ..thank you for listening

Well i am disabled and I hate the people who do that as much as you do! What I wouldn't give to be able to work and there are people who can work but choose not to and i don't understand that!

@Paige42986: thank you and i respect people on disabilty but the ones who fake it ruin it for others who actually needed it. I can even understand going on welfare until you are on your feet..here they offer school etc..(i was on it for 8 months when i left my kids dad but i used it to better myself. That was 5 years ago now)
