In reply to the discussion: Coping With Welfare Equals Losing 13 IQ Points [View all]daredtowork
(3,732 posts)I think this graphic did a nice job of summing up the issues. I linked to the source at the bottom.
Also, it's not too late to sign my petition, even though I already got the original 50 signatures I was asking for (link in my sig). The gist is that doing a little work and reporting it as required by law is punished by the welfare system. I would like to bash my local as well as national politicians over the head with this until they get the fact that all their "just get a job" grandstanding is horse hockey as long as welfare policy is written this way. On top of that, representing people on welfare as dishonest cheats is unfair if you put them in a position where they aren't even allowed the cash to buy toilet paper. I was hoping a landslide of people would sign my petition, but I guess I haven't conveyed the underlying issue in the proper terms yet.
