[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Tahna, I live in northern Appalachia (a region of the Appalachian mtn. range extending from PA southwards towards KY). It is probably the most poverty-ridden place in the United States, especially since the steel industry went plotz. I deal with the "poor" (read: people 'dependent' on government checks to survive) on a daily basis. I see how dependency breeds dependency. I see how the 'gimmie this, I'm entitled to it' attitude really works, and what kind of person it creates, and it's appalling. I see people using their check money on booze, drugs, and luxury items. I see people who live on our tax money preying on the citizenry, and each other, and doing everything they can to cheat the system for a few dollars more, or just to avoid the hassle of having to do anything. I see a new company come into town and ask for unskilled labor to TRAIN for FREE, and hardly get anyone because they're not paying enough above what welfare pays. I see a guy 'begging' turn down a better-than-minimum-wage job offer because it's a 'hassle.' So don't tell me what I deal with. [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/frown.gif[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
