WIC Program Update-

[Bozznc]

She has lied to me to get money, and refused to take care of herself or the babies that she brings into the world. These are the types of people who are on WIC. So don't ask me to look at the world through your rose colored glasses.

So with four words, "these types of people" , you have just classified 8 MILLION people as skeezy crack head trash. Nice.

Nice to know that you are well versed and educated enough to write off so many people.. A veritable forum classifier. Tell me, How would you classify the 18% of military personnel who are under the local AND national poverty level? How are you classifying me? How are you classifying my friends and brothers and sisters fighting for your rights?

Tards that need to get better jobs!

I'd rather have my tax dollars going toward a thousand other things besides supporting someone elses birth control failure.

Did you ever stop to think about the folks who got took hometown factory jobs, got married, had children, got laid off, and enlisted as E-1's in the military? How about the kids who enlisted, fell in love at 19 or so and had children, and are still below poverty levels? Ooh, ooh, that was me!!! I'm skeezy trash too!

It's nice to know where my hard earned tax dollars are going.

I guess it's a waste to give YOUR tax dollars to older folks on fixed incomes who have trouble with the heating bills in the winter.

I suppose it's a shame that YOUR tax dollars help pay for cheap medication, doctors fees, and hospitalization for folks who are too busy working 90 hours a week as a waitress to be able to get a life.

It's just terrible that YOUR tax dollars go to helping a neighbor. That's the real issue at hand here. Whether you like him or her, or not, it comes down to helping your neighbor.

HOWEVER;

I suppose it's perfectly fine for your tax dollars to go to skeezy politicians to rent Gulfstream G5's for skiing trips, to rent the services of that special call girl, or to pad the pockets of the special interests..

I guess that if I had little pink clouds in my world, I'd see it the same way you do. But then again, I don't live in a manor house on a hill, I'm down here WITH the neighbor, helping sandbag his house against the elements, or helping her board her windows against a brewing storm.

Where do you get off trashing that many people? What training have you had that makes you qualified to say such a thing? How dare you classify millions of hard working Americans in such a way?


You just wrote off 8 MILLION people as worthless, whether you meant it that way or not, that's how it reads. Hitler wrote off 8 million people too.. Think about that, you arrogant, self centered, conceited b!tch!

Last year I paid something like $30K in Federal and MD taxes. I could be all bitter about WIC, but I'm not.

Those babies didn't choose what situation to be born into, they just were. And if USG decides to provide them with healthy foods, such as salmon or whole grain bread, all the better, way better than gallons of milk and Wonder bread.

I understand that way too many military families live near the poverty level. I would like to see the enlisted pay grades raised by 50%. The E-1 through E-5 are the backbone of our services, and shouldn't have to worry about the electric or phone services being cut off at home while they are deployed.

Bossnc, you might as well as Police, Fire and Rescue folks to the list as well!

Thank you Bossnc and Negative Nancy...take the rest of the day off and enjoy yourselves!!

If some of you want to take my opinion personally, that's your problem. Maybe you see something of yourself in my remarks. :shrug:

No, that's how you read. Not my problem that you can't follow the discussion.

WIC Program Update- 08-06-2006 09:29 AM backpedal

I am not backpedaling. You just can't read me because of your dislike for me. I'm not going to sugar coat my opinion because of people who need to be justified or coddled. Get over it.

 

[Bozznc]

No, that's how you read. Not my problem that you can't follow the discussion.

When you say "These kinds of people" in reference to 8 million people, then that's how it reads. If you just mean skeezy crack heads, then argue against giving WIC to people who don't work but can, but clearly define who you are writing off, not just "those WIC people".

Actually, this is exactly what I said

I have a sister who can't get her life out of the gutter. She has had two children that she has had to give up. She has a new baby that she concieved while living in a crack house. She has never been able to hold a job, and you should hear some of the excuses, and she is one of the people who collect WIC and is supported by various forms of govt assistance.

She has lied to me to get money, and refused to take care of herself or the babies that she brings into the world. These are the types of people who are on WIC.

You're putting words in my mouth to suit your argument.

 

[Negative Nancy]

Why are you so hostile?

You get WIC vouchers, don't you?

Me, hostile? No, I was just giving Big E a taste of what she hands out to others on here all the time. I was on WIC years ago and now I'm sure I pay a hell of allot taxes than big mouth E does, so I dont need to sit here and listen to her yap away and I wont.

Is your iggy button broken? If not, feel free to use it. No one is holding a gun to your head and making you read my posts.

Giving me a taste of what I hand out? Don't flatter yourself. My feathers are nice and smooth.

It was the "these are the types of people" remark that set them off, I'll bet. I read that NOT as "these are the ONLY types of people," but as "these are the people who abuse the system."

And you are correct. There's a LOT of welfare fraud and people who could have jobs but choose not to. I don't mind giving my tax dollars to help people out, but the system needs to be more closely monitored so that the money goes to those who are truly in need rather than wasted on lowlifes who are just sucking on the government teat.

Elaine can correct me, but I think this was a misunderstanding of words.

Well, I'm not going to rephrase it so the defensive can understand it.

 

[hborror]

My best friend was on WIC years ago. REASON the person she married turned out to be a child molester and molested there children.......... so I guess to get approval for a lot of you on here she should have let it go on and not put him away right? Seeing how she had a job just not good enough to help since once he was in jail she saw no money from him.

 

[mAlice]

Elaine can correct me, but I think this was a misunderstanding of words.

That's not how I see it. I see it as an opportunity to show me how much they dislike me, which I couldn't care less about, but I'm sure it made them feel better.

And you agreeing with me will only be seen as us kissin' each others azz.

Well again Good For You. But you do need to look in the mirror, you have scales not feathers.

And no one is putting words in your mouth to suit your argument. Every so often you pull your head out of your azz and remove the foot from your mouth and the spew starts.

 

[vraiblonde]

I shall kiss your ass when I please and where I please, and those who don't like it can jump in the lake.



I didn't read your statements as a blanket condemnation. :shrug:

 

[dems4me]

The way I interpreted it in context was "these kinds of people" meaning the ones that abuse the system and purposely live off the dole instead of actually striving to get out of their current situation. :shrug:

 

[FastCarsSpeed]

I think you have to look at the whole comment that aggravated some people.. They way it reads is that because your sister is a Nasty Crack Whore that all the people on WIC are.

Yes Im sure there are alot like this but not all. My only point in this thread was that WIC was about the only program that I have seen that really benefits needy folks without allowing them to completely abuse the system.

Please dont mix this stuff up with Welfare. Welfare sucks balls and I wish there was an easy way for the Gov to regulate it but its a very tough and touchy subject. If you put too many beauracratic roadblocks in it then it makes is almost impossible to help anyone. If you leave the rules lax then of course it gets abused.

Post #7

I didn't say it was a bad program, but 8 million freakin' people? I'm sorry, I just can't feel all warm and fuzzy about that.

If you don't like my opinions, don't read my posts.
