Again I go back to what I said earlier today, you support you children so you tell them what to do correct? If we as tax payers support these people for what ever reason they are using the system them we should tell them what to do, not to violate there rights, not to be dictators, but to help them get on there own 2 feet and understand what it means to earn for your own family. Fact is alot of the people on public assistance have no idea where to start to get on there feet b/c what is offered is a joke in all states, and most are un-educated due to where they grew up. Alot of schools are so bad it is impossible for them to get any type of real education. So we should show them how to become educated and responsible.
