The media are enabling them to come out from under their rocks and feel that their life’s choices should be accepted as mainstream and normal. She had a string of kids with no plan on how she would care or provide for them, why not follow the father/fathers for their care. But no, they somehow found something louder than her own mouth and stuck her outside the dail to insist she is entitled to more free stuff, and none of that second rate free stuff - she’s entitled to the best of everything.

There was one well-documented case of someone who ended up on the streets despite inheriting two houses. Simplistic statements like yours don't help.

Seems to me that your own post is rather simplistic - or maybe you feel somehow morally superior to those who sleep in doorways for whatever reasons? A little empathy for those in poor situations - for whatever reasons - would go a long way.

Have you never wondered what it is like to be a woman in a section of society where your life choices are very limited, and you are expected to get married at a very young age and bear children. Don't come over all high and mighty about this, as this was also the lot of many women from well-off middle class families just a generation or two ago.

Time to put an absolute cap on the amount of money and or free services any person or family can get from the state. No family should get more in goods/services/ money from the taxpayer than the average industrial wage!

BBFAN wrote: » So you're not paying for someone else's lifestyle then as some claim here that it cost 50-60k a year. I'm sure you're certainly not paying that much. Not to mention what you get back from the system. People are unbelievably arrogant or ill informed if they for a minute think that all the tax you paid is going to pay scroungers. I'm not denying there are scroungers, I'm just saying it's not what the majority of your taxes are going on so you need to get some perspective.

The eyeroll is because it's either a blatant lie or you are earning that type of money between you. If you are you've very little to worry about in life and really have no right to be ranting.
