Like lets say someone was on welfare for more than a year and obviously needs government assistance to provide for themselves, then they all of a sudden have a child. Shouldn't we just ban them from welfare?(or at least more welfare money)

I mean its not like they are trying to be responsible since they are producing even MORE people that need assistance, so banning or not giving more welfare ultimatley forces them to at least be willing to respect peoples tax money?

And secondly why pay someone to be even more needy?

So don't you think banning or not giving more money to Welfare recipients that have kids is a good idea?

If a woman has kids and is on welfare, if she has another kid while on welfare she should be made to take norplants, or have her tubes tied, before welfare benefits can be continued.



I'm sick of these baby machines and Welfare Queens.

"There are more White people on welfare..."



What typical drivel. In whole numbers there are more White people on Welfare than blacks, because Whites make up over 70pc of the population.



Blacks make up only 13pc of the population, yet there are almost as many blacks on welfare than Whites.



Perhaps if you had finished high school you'd understand statistics.

Well, I've never been on welfare, and I don't have any children, but I know what it's like to have my back against the wall. I was fortunate enough to have a support system that was there for me so that I could pull myself together again, but some people aren't so lucky. I think welfare, the way it was intended (as a leg up or a life line) is ok, but it's being abused. I don't think that we should just ignore the poor and destitute, because at that point you are only creating a subculture of desperate people and that creates more problems for society.



I do, however, think that welfare is seriously broken. But I do not think that banning people from welfare if they have children while they're on it is the answer. I would be more in favor of imposing more stringent guidelines on it. Like maybe limit the number of children that people can have and get extra money for to 2 or 3. Impose time limits on it. Like maybe it expires after a certain time, say a year, no matter what. Within that amount of time you've got the help and the chance to get yourself together, but if you blow it then you can't apply for it again for a long time.

Why is it that people seem to think only single poor people get welfare? You are aware that the disabled, veterans, the unemployed, the elderly are all welfare recipients. Would it be wrong for a person who was laid off of their job to have a child while their on welfare? WOuld it be wrong for a war vet to have a child while he's on welfare?

No it is not fair to not give to the needy, if we ignored the needy America would be just as poor as Haiti. If anyone needs welfare it's the less fortunate who have families.



Sorry to say but it's not hurting me that they take a couple dollars out of my paycheck to support the less fortunate.





@ Neo Draven... you dumb@ss I guess you have no relatives on welfare because even if they work what they make isn't enough to support them and their family that is why they get welfare.

The disabled CAN'T work

The elderly CAN'T work



@ Neo Draven... are you serious you would rather someone die than help them? I hope that you lose your job soon and have to be put on welfare or are you going to kill yourself instead of take someone govt assistance? You would probably kill yourself.

Yes because it shows that the person is irresponsible and selfish. If you can't take care of yourself alone, you shouldn't be bringing people into the world. They should be given free condoms and birth control rather than welfare. If they still insist on having the kids, they should be forced to put them up for adoption.

I honestly think the children should be removed from the home, and parents banned from receiving welfare if the parents cannot provide basic necessities such as food.

Absolutely not. The government has no right to tell people when they can or can't have children. Yes, it's bad that some people on welfare have kids that they aren't responsible for, but it's also bad to allow government such power to intrude into people's lives.

i agree..i think there should be a cap on how long you can be on welfare and if yolu get preg again then youcan have WIC for the baby for a few months but not the food stamps and all that..too many lazy folks on the systme these days
2009-12-04 12:10:26 UTC
That kind of goes against the whole idea of welfare, which is giving money to people who need it, not smart people.
2009-12-04 12:12:52 UTC
Uh, why would anyone with no kids need welfare? People who have kids should be the ones to get welfare. Them and older or handicap people.



What if they were raped? Or what if they didn't know they were pregnant until after they got on welfare?
2009-12-04 12:11:10 UTC
I think with every welfare check condoms should be given out to women. Men who apply for welfare must have a vasectomy
2009-12-04 13:00:14 UTC
Instead of given them money they should give them plastic money that pays for the bills only, like how they do with food stamps, so they don't waste it on drugs or abuse it more.

you're relatively unaware of background in case you think of the rationalization some favorite assets regulations for balloting became with the aid of fact "They knew that if the style of human beings desiring unfastened stuff outweighed the style of human beings finding out to purchase the unfastened stuff, society might replace into chaos." stable god, the lack of expertise of elementary background in this board amazes me.

There are more Whites on welfare than any other group--just keep that in mind

There should be no welfare period. Can't survive? Then die off.



Edit: No, people with children should not get welfare. If they can't provide for the kid, they shouldn't have it. If they do have a kid and can't provide for it, it should die off.



**** socialism.

I would take it a step further. We should enforce sterility while on welfare or food stamps. Enforce birth control, with weekly testing required. Also, mandatory, twice weekly drug testing.



If either are failed, they should immediately lose all benefits, and be sent a bill for the last check or benefits they received.



I actually don't want welfare or food assistance programs to exist, period. People die of hunger for a reason. They can't survive unaided. If they need my support to live, they need to just die and save some air for someone who wants to work for a living.



I wish none of my taxes went to Section 8 or HUD or EBT, but I can't change that. I need to become independently wealthy, so I can make charitable contributions and use them as tax write-offs. Then, NONE of my money will pay for one more welfare mother to feed her unwanted brat.



EDIT - Star; those people are not "less fortunate". They still have the health and physical conditioning to fùck. Why do they not have a job, then? They are healthy enough to produce a whole new life, but they can't get a goddamned job at Food Lion?



Those "less fortunate" people are actually "less ambitious" or "less motivated" or "more entitled".



I hope you realize that very, very, very few people are merely "less fortunate". I feel like if you have the physical capability of performing work for at least 20 hours a week, then you do not deserve a single dime from me.



No one is less fortunate in this country. We only differ in how strong our hustle is.



EDIT 2 @ Starr - Okay, if they CAN'T work, then they CAN'T eat. They should just DIE then. For real. What part of that can't you comprehend?



No compassion. No pity. Sink or swim, bìtch. I don't care if the next man lives or dies. I damned sure do not want to feed a single welfare child. Period. I WANT that kid to die.



Better that than for me to have to pay for his worthless àss for his entire life.



All life is NOT precious. If you can't survive without my help, then your precious god is trying to tell you something.



Die and stop breathing up all the good air, you waste of semen.



EDIT 3 - Starr; if I lost my job and I couldn't afford to eat, then that's on me. Not on YOU. YOU should not be forced to support me. If you WANTED to, that's different.



I cannot avoid the fact that my taxes enable ghetto bìtches to shìt out more monthly paychecks. But, I am not going to be happy about it.



The point is, if I fell off, and had no one to help me, I would either hustle and make it, or give up and die.



That's how life is. The strong survive, as we are intended to. I am NOT my brother's keeper. If I love you, I will protect, defend and support you.



I do not love ghetto hoes with 6 kids. If she is fit enough to scrump, the bìtch can get a goddamned job.



And if she can't afford to feed her kids, then they should be taken away. Period.



Reproduction is not a human right. You should only have kids if you can support them.



Sink or swim. I ain't jumpin' in.

Of course it should be banned because hard working people like you and I shouldn't be paying people for unprotected sex, it's not our fault! I pay literally thousands of dollars each your to slackers like that! It not fair to people like myself and others! Peace!
