So when their not following your rules, then they have to wait.... what?
So if they aren't living the way you think they should be living we have to force them into poverty?
Your ridiculous... live and let live.

The more you comment, the more I realize that you know nothing about paying taxes or working. You are taking things out of context whether this is intentional or not, you're doing it. I never said anything about volunteering them or forcing them. As explained to you and in other posts, if you care to read them, I said they should be given the option to OPT out. However, if they elect to receive benefits, they are notified up front that there will be some expectations from them in return. How is this not fair? They should be informed that they will be expected to work "X" number of hours a week for their benefits, (not bonus bucks) and that there will be mandatory random drug testing. If they decide that they don't 'want' to work for a roof over their head, or for food, clothing and all expenses paid for their every NEED, ok... they opt out. No problem. Their choice. Have you never heard the saying.... Nothing in life is free? Well.... it isn't. The taxpayers who actually work are the sole reason that those people are getting what they are getting for free, however, for the taxpayer that performed a job, earned a wage and had to GIVE a portion of his wage to the government for taxes in order to house, feed, & clothe another family, it was NOT FREE. So, you set back and defend their right to be lazy and raise kids to follow in their footsteps, you set back and defend their right to 'entitlement'. You set back and defend their right to free medical as well, while the working man pays higher and higher costs for insurance. You just SET BACK and spout, take no action and continue to do nothing. As long as you do all that, you're doing your part, while the rest of us figure out a way to fix a broken government and find a way back to being a nation of pride rather than 'entitlement'. A nation not afraid to work and actually make a living. But you do nothing, cuz thats obviously what you're best at.
Now... I have wasted enough time on you. You go ahead and have the last word, give it your best shot, but I can assure you, that nothing further you say is of interest to me and I will NOT be replying to you again. Get busy now, ready your recliner - and 'set back' on your haunches.

Uhmm.... They are already IN poverty!!!!! This isn't punishment .... it would: "give them the opportunity so show some gratitude by working for some of the handouts they are graciously being given", and they might just find an employer who would give them a job, AND... the drug testing, would weed (no pun intended) out those who are truly in need of benefits from those who aren't hurting badly enough to keep them from coming up with money doing SOME kind of work, to buy their drugs, (or they are doing something illegal with the benefits they are 'graciously' being GIVEN. Either way, this wouldn't put them into POVERTY... they'd already arrived long beforehand. Now who is the ridiculous one? Duhhhh...
(Did I really just need to explain that?)

I am against drug tests, a person should be free to put in their body whatever they want.
