Got Your Own Car, Crib, Clothes Courtesy Of Uncle Sam

You say you're independent because you have your own car, place and your bills are paid for. But rarely does anyone mention who pays the rent. It's typically Uncle Sam in the form of welfare, WIC, food stamps, and government housing. Or its your child's father in the form of child support. Also, you have five figure tax refunds every year. And you may even work at least a part time job, or have a good side hustle going. I'm guessing that's ghetto fabulous.
It seems for many women, and even some men, their children are sources of income to them. They don't have a financial care in the world. They receive hundreds of dollars in food stamps/month, the system pays for rent, and often relief is offered for clothes and other necessities. Meanwhile, these baby mamas can leave the kids with her mom and sister and stay up all hours of the night, every night, partying, drinking, and possibly making more babies.
Now I'm actually liberal towards welfare, child support and government relief (note I said relief, not handouts).  There are many folks that are out of work and are struggling hard. The unemployment rate is nearly 9%, and many of these folks get denied for even food stamps. While they have to swallow their pride and work fast food or bag groceries to feed their families, the ole ghetto fabulous and white trash get to collect giant checks and live and eat like royalty. They have found their ultimate hustle and they are milking it.
I saw a joke on Twitter that's nasty but true. Censored, it basically states you can tell when a woman is good at sex (can also be a man). They have lots of children by multiple partners, and nobody wants for anything thanks to Uncle Sam.
Again, I'm not slamming the good single parents and such. In a way, I can trash the system, but even they can police people but so much. My problem is with the single mother living in Section 8 housing with three kids, and she's wondering how she is going to pay her lights or feed her children for tomorrow. It appears some know how to work the system as well as a man's penis and well.
Therefore, before you go claiming your independence on this day where we celebrate the signing of the Constitution, tell me this. What type of work skills do you have? When was your last job or legitimate business venture? How far did you go in school? Are you a good parent to your children and how so? These shouldn't be difficult questions. However for some, they're multiple choices.
Renegades, as I refer to them as, are one of the huge reasons conservatives target them every election year. They want to limit and even eliminate public aid. I'm a hard working taxpayer so I do understand one side of the coin. However, you can't punish the innocent, and those that need this money.

Also, deadbeat parents need to pay their back child support. It's hard to get anyone of any class, race, or other origin to disagree with that logic.

I wish I had the solution or a magic wand to end this madness and make the system balanced. Unfortunately I do not. This is merely a sad observation on how some of the biggest hustlers aren't drug dealers, gamblers, or prostitutes. They are single, barely responsible parents.
A change in our country is definitely necessary, and it needs to be here. I'm hoping that whichever government we have after November focuses on this after unemployment, gas prices, and gay marriage.
