How many kids will you have?

NOT 14 IF I AM EVER ON WELFARE (IF I EVER NEED TO BE.. I'M GOING TO THE ARMY)




In 1996 5% percent of all Americans are on some sort of financial aid (excluding college financial aid), now 30% of all Americans are in need of financial aid, 12 % of the federal budget is devoted to welfare for the middle class and wealthy in the form of tax credits, no interest mortgages, home investment incentives, and 39% of the people are welfare are white. I just want to get a few things straight before I jump into this. There are myths out in the world that state African American’s are the most people on welfare, untrue. Considering that African American’s only make up 14% of the United States, and they are also lower in percentage of those that are white proves that they work for their money’s. Some people just want to put blame on someone that can take it. White’s are lazier than black’s. Proven fact by welfare statistics, and also we have Nadya Suleman to thank for reassurance.

A little over 10 years ago, we were in need a quarter less than we are now. Times are tough and people need help. Unemployment rates are high; though they are not higher than they have ever been despite the bull that people are saying. Does welfare necessarily entitle you to all the luxuries that everyone else can enjoy? In the past month, America has learned of a mother that now has 14 kids. She is collecting welfare for those kids due to “unemployment.” Welfare is designed to give people the income that they not necessarily would get with a minimum wage job. With 14 kids, it is almost a given that you will not survive in today’s economy without the income of more than minimum wage. Nadya Suleman has made headlines as the single mother of the 14 kids and as the mother of 14 children on welfare. Before the octuplets, she had six children already living in her mother’s three bedroom house that was to be foreclosed on May 5th. This woman is using government aid to love and care for these children, as she claims. But is she really? She looks a lot like Angelina Jolie and seems to be caring a lot more about her fame than she is about the health of her newborn children and the children that she already has at home. She has called Dr. Phil to tape on his show, and has even appeared in a 20/20 interview. Where are her kids that she is working so hard to keep? They don't seem to be anywhere in sight. She is not looking for a job very hard, and is actually considering working for a hardcore porn video for one million dollars.

There should be a limit on how many children that you are allowed to have if you are on welfare. If someone wants to have a farm of children and can take care of them without other’s tax money, than have at it. Have three farms! There are families in the United States that were able to care for their kids until they reached the age that needed money for themselves (college, housing, entertainment, etc.) but than needed welfare to get their children’s on the right direction to be able to let go. There is no shame in that, but there is shame on having kids to get more money for welfare. If there isn’t a limit on that, then people can and WILL take advantage of the situation. Nadya Suleman seems to be a perfect example of that. She was interviewed and asked the question of why she wanted to have more children. Nadya Suleman’s response was that she didn’t have a great childhood growing up so she wanted to recreate that for her kids. She sounds like a liar that wants money from her child to get more plastic surgery done so she can try and steal Brad Pitt away with Angelina in an attempt to pretend to be her. Of course that is just a theory but a theory that can be done.

Being on welfare is defined as receiving financial aid from the government or from a private organization because of hardship and need. Welfare is also defined as the good fortune, health, happiness, prosperity, etc., of a person, group, or organization; well-being. There are a few things some people do not understand. If someone is on welfare, they shouldn’t be using it to practice their own welfare. Free money isn’t there to get plastic surgery, or to buy your clothes at Nordstrom. Welfare was made to help get yourself back on track, not for it to be there for the rest of your life. Really think about what’s wrong with the idea of welfare. The idea that it puts in people’s minds that they are able to have money as long as they have kids, or as long as they get married they are able to have more.

If a family starts off on welfare, before even really starting a family they wouldn’t give the impression of being stable enough to care for more than themselves. Some people believe that having children was their destiny on this earth. If that was the case, than go ahead and have kids. Don’t use my money to do that. IF worse comes to worse, than only use my money for three children. Beyond that is a cry out for more money to do with what they please. There wouldn’t necessarily be a problem with people on welfare and a lot of kids if they were working as hard as they possibly could to not have to be on welfare for the next ten years (that is how long most American’s are on welfare for). Hard times call for hard realities. Reality is I don’t want to pay for someone else’s stupid mistake. Use a condom, don’t have sex, and do whatever it takes to keep me and my money out of it. If that is ever achieved, I will be quite content.
