Welfare support goes too far

Mr. Obama keeps harping that everyone should do their fair share and everyone should have equal opportunity. I go along with that. But, when are the lifetime welfare recipients going to start doing their fair share?

I believe the taxpayers are giving them every opportunity, from education funds to a place to live to medical care. When is enough? When are they going to start being grateful? When is Mr. Obama going to stop with the class welfare?

My wife’s niece at 16 years old dropped out of school, started using drugs and alcohol, and had four illegitimate, drug-addicted kids. The whole family is a mess, and they believe she is entitled to welfare. That is four kids that I know of. She has been in and out of jail. What has this one person cost the taxpayers so far? And how many more people are there in this country?

They destroy the apartments paid for by the taxpayers. They cause numerous problems in the schools. The taxpayers have to furnish breakfast and lunch at the schools because the mother spends the money given to them on drugs.

So when is Mr. Obama going to address these problems instead of blaming the taxpayers? When is he going to stop the class warfare and call a spade a spade?

The politicians have been using this situation to their advantage for years. It is all about votes and money.

After two kids, I believe that the taxpayers should not pay for any more. When is enough?
