i want a taxpayer to buy me a rolls royce!

R u serious?? I myself am not on welfare, however I wish u would try living off it and see how u like. Im sure they get real far with 500 bucks a month. This is a huge social issue that affects us all, especially the children, or wait let u tell it those kids don't count. U my friend should not throw stones in a glass house. The economy is pretty gloomy and I am sure u could lose everything over night. U should really count ur blessings and be thankful for what u do have instead of worrying about other people who barely have anything. Im sure in ur eyes t is their fault because they r lazy, stupid or just simply lack ambition to go further in life. What u fail to realize is that most people are what we call the working poor. They r people who bust their ass in a thankless job until they grow old. This is the fault of the system, not of themselves. Ur tax dollars will go into the pockets of the politicians if they don't go for social programs. If people would wake up and stop judging others maybe they could see the big picture and what is really important. Gather facts, talk to people, do ur research, hear their stories b4 u place judgement, because one day u will be judged upon!!! That is the problem with this society. Im not saying we could save the world, but we can make a difference once we understand the problem and stop being a part of it.

You know what, you need to take into account that there are some people that are not working due to medical problems not just because they don't want to.
I am a low income mom. I am still trying to find a way to get a tree for my 3 kids.
Stop thinking about yourself and all the money you have because some of us are not so lucky. This is the season of giving NOT receiving.

that
that easy to say went your the one who recieveing

here is a thought how about replaceing welfare and unemployment with a Negative income tax where u file very every quarter with the irs and get a check like a tax refund that is indexed to the mimium wage and maybe get a credit for every employment appillation you fill out. job training coruse you eroll in.

You know I have never received any free assistance. We have always made everything work out for our 3 kids buy this year we don't have money for a tree for gifts for the kids. My kids are amazing because they understand that this year is going to be different. But all we wanted was a Christmas tree for the kids. Make them still feel like we are celebrating the holidays. I think its amazing that they are doing this.

Some people on here have this all wrong it's ok to ask for help that's like asking for help at a store you ask so they can bring you something. My mother always said "A. CLOSED MOUTH DON'T GET FEED" just because someone ask for help don't mean they are degrading their selves it's simply because they can't do it their selves. That's how some people get their blessings bu helping others I am a married women with 4 kids my eldest is 14 an is disabled I pay for all of his equipment that he has only because my son haven't proved that he would not benefit form it. But it's ok because he gets what he needs anyways but some things that I can't afford ever gets paid for ONLY because I ASKED FOR HELP. Yes some times I really don't have food to cook for my family and we both work but making sure that things don't get cut off is also a big issue it's a fight out here for all of us if I have already helped my neighbor out buying him an his son a tree he also works but he is also about to loose his house no he can't buy any gifts for his son but having a tree with lights that I bought for them helpes their situation a little. I am a strong believer in OUR LORD an he tells you to do unto others as you would want them to do to you so if you would not want anyone to help you than that's expected of you.
God bless you alland for those that do need help I prey that you get all you really need and that all of you have a blessed holiday.

Rich people make their money by swindling the middle class and poor to get them to by their shit made in china/korea. It's not like they are smarter or anything, just more greedy and devious. It takes balls and a criminal mind to make a product for 50 cents and charge $29.99 for it.

Remember when potato chips use to be a full bag, then it went to 1/2 full of more money, now it's 1/4 full and still cost more.

WOW!! too much hate...i understand that everyone needs help sometimes...so those of you being so loose with your comments...you should hope you dont deal with people like yourselves when you end up needing it! With that said, if you are soooo poor and cant feed your kids maybe you should cancel your internet???that should give you some extra for milk and bread!!

I just wanted to let "Steve" know that I think his offer to buy a tree for "an upset mother" was so kind and generous it brought a tear to my eye. Thank you Steve....I wish I were in a position do this too. At least is so nice to know there are people like you out there.

[2 a single mom shut up]

You know I am a single mother is well raising three loving children that recycle bottles and donate clothes and feed the homeless on thanksgiving. mind you im a full time student work full time and i get assistance And I don't D*** what you think who does that makes their children struggle your bitter bitch your not a person that deserves my time you are rude angry plus it seems that someone hurt you a long time ago maybe kids father or maybe yourself for have your point of view we don't know the situation but get over yourself climb out your ass and shut up however I feel bad for the kids How can you teach a children about the Christmas spirit when you have no spirit you don't value Christmas it's about..... Nevermind your brain is to small to comprehend and it will only fall on dumb deaths possibly uneducated ears to put everybody else down because you're miserable with whatever endeavors your involved in. FYI I'm not looking for no hand out nor a free tree just felt the need to stick up for those whom are being verbally abused by some Internet bully that's exactly what you are and I can most definitely guaranteed five out of five your kids are probably going to be bullies too then eventually graduating to the state of gangbanger congratulations hope You proud of yourself like the other person said you don't know The other person circumstances for example I just spent over $3000 moving into my four-bedroom home last month to provide my children with the necessities that they deserve to be productive citizens Furthermore I know what it's like to work two jobs and I know what its like for the kids they're not happy they don't have a mother you have five kids that someone else is taking care of get your facts straight I'm on my fourth year psych and I reserve the privilege to talk about your parents or lack thereof Merry Christmas
