when do people get rewarded for owning a home, working hard non dependent on the govt., feed their own? I've just had enough
lynnsgirl : I feel you. I do help some with requests. But I just get frustrated with it all. There are so many assistance programs that people stay on for all eternity. I have a few extended family members -- or ex members -- that are on the dole and have been for years. It is always, "I need help." But they never seem to pay it forward. My sister helps. I have washed my hands of the aforementioned people as I've done enough. I don't mind short-term assistance to people so the can get on their feet but there needs to be an end date.
lynnsgirl : I understand what you saying. It seems like they punish us for being hard-working and self-reliant.
