Ok, I can relate to the "welfare queen" comment. My husband and I work hard for a living to support our 4 children, the way it should be done. I could list ten people that I know personally that are on welfare in Maine and raking it in. One woman I know has 2 brand new vehicles, a big screen tv, all the ATV's anyone could ever want, a beautiful home with a beautiful view, drinks and smokes daily... I could go on and on. She gets about 500.00 per month in AFDC for 3 kids, God knows how much in food stamps, a medical card, plus 175.00 a week for child support. What's her secret? The "Disabled" boyfriend that lives with her that she's not reporting to the state. It makes me sick to see what we have after working a full week (nothing!) and to see her tipping her bottle and having everything she could possibly want. There is no reason these people can't work if we can. Get these losers off to work before I go broke supporting them! And there's no reason for anyone to live like a pig.
