I'm not bashing- I'm pointing out a simple fact
WHY should we (tax payers) pay for your cigarettes when its supposed to help you live like food, clothes, shelter?
I work in a group home for adults , emotional/behaviorial/developmentally delayed/and PHYSICAL disablities alot of them have part-time jobs and a few of them have so screwed up backgrounds that would make someone from the inner city cringe when they think its bad dealing with driveby, gangs, drugs and so on when walking in their shoes. Some of the clients are from the Chicago streets themselves. Some of them just plainly can't read or write but just be able to print their names holding down a part-time job. If anybody can do it when it comes to those guys that I'm proud of supporting everyday from my paychecks. I'm proud of my job and I'm proud of them every single time I see them be happy with their given circumstances.
People who are legally blind are holding down jobs- people who are DEAF AND BLIND are holding down jobs, I even am friends with 2 of them personally. I am friends with people in wheelchairs, I'm friends with wide spectrum of people with disablities as I'm disabled adult myself however mines a hidden one and not anybody would know it.
Ones with hidden disability like Liz's case there are always ways to overcome those things. Instead of sitting at home and feeling sorry for oneself blaming the family for their problems. Who made that decision to be attached to their materialistic things? There are many women who come out of abusive relationships with nothing but clothes on their backs and be able to get back on their feet with bare resources that are depleted because of some undeserving folks on SSI system that thinks they're entitled because they got it bad. Those women didn't care about materialistic things, yes they would have had some grief about it but they moved on. Those money should be better off going to programs that actually will put some good use in bettering people's lives with their given circumstances. We need money for our children who are truly innocent in this country, we need money everywhere for others who didn't ask to be beaten up, others who got hurt serving our country, and there isn't alot money left over for many things. There are people who wants to find a job that are disabled but doesn't have the resources that should be there BECAUSE the money is not being used wisely in our wonderful country. We really truly need money for those programs to prevent the younger generation from being so screwed up in the head that we need more jails/prisons there are just so many things that could just be used.
Why is one so upset about their "dysfunctional" family when there is a saying that if the family is like the Brandy bunch then that family is truly the dysfunctional family.
Look at those kids that come of age at 18, straight out of foster system, some go homeless, some just make it without family support. There is not alot foster families that would put up with their former foster charges. At least you got some family. Unlike those kids. Please keep that in mind at the age of 20, you at least have some family no matter how screwy it might sound. They're family. Some of my clients are better off without their abusive family. Yet they still forgive and want to see their families no matter how abused they were.
instead of posting it on a public forum of your personal problems and expect everybody to be on your side then get upset when someone doesn't agree with you: talk to a professional about it. Medicaid covers mental health as well too. Just talk to someone about your family situation. Your personal life, your cigarette addiction and whatnot. It helps.
feel free to report my post. There isn't a violation that I have seen aimed directly against you, and I'm careless what you do as youre just one of those countless that is just a statistic to me and I'm one of those countless taxpayers whose opinion Uncle Sam does not give a **** about.
enjoy your cigarettes at the expense of Uncle Sam while I go back blending back into the colony and be one of those worker ants that's so mindless of where my labor is going.
-the long forgotten ant.
