Welfare in America
Good morning students. My speech is on welfare. I think most
American people that use welfare abuse it. If you cannot go out find a job and
work for a living I don’t think I should use my money to buy you stuff. I work
every day of the summer and every night after school so I can make money for
myself and no other people. Most people
who are on welfare sit at home and don’t even try to go out and get a job or
help their family. McDonalds Wal-Mart places like that are always hiring and
you almost can be guaranteed a job. And if you know that won’t pay the bills
you should get another job. You should work harder if it is though. You should
do what it takes to pay the bills and help your family. Not give up and go on
welfare so other people work for you. I agree some people might really need it.
Say if you were disabled and couldn’t physically work you should be on welfare.
But if you randomly get migraines or your calf cramps up you shouldn’t be on
welfare. If you get a check every month from the government and you are on
welfare you cannot have another paying job or any source of income. I know of
at least 3 people that supposedly are disabled but seem to walk fine and they
work for a farmer. If you are disabled and can climb into a tractor it must not
be that bad. To me that’s just using the system. To get on the welfare system
all you have to do is fill out paper work. I think they should have people that
actually observe you to make sure you need it and how much. My neighbor has had
4 strokes cannot talk, move the right side of his face or walk on his own. He
is single and cannot work. He has been turned down for welfare 5 times. That
just isn’t rite. But yet you see people on welfare that flat out tell you they
cannot work because they were in the war and
have a muscle cramp in their leg so they decided to go on welfare I
don’t think this is rite how some people seem to be favored more than others. I
am not saying everyone shouldn’t be allowed welfare but they definitely should
look into who is able to get it more than they do. So in all honesty I’m not a
fan of welfare and some of the people on it.
