Yeah, the classic have more kids make more welfare money syndrome, man I hate that!
Some years ago Hawaii all but stopped with the "welfare" program's, just cut 'em out. Over a period of a few years, slowly tightening the screws, then gone, nada, get a job!
I had a repair/sales shop for a couple of years in Honolulu. The first year I was located right behind a BMW dealership (I was in an alley behind them). My customers were certainly "up scale", life was good, but the rent was killing me! So I moved to what I THOUGHT would be a great location. Right by a heavily traveled intersection, TONS of car's through there everyday. I hung out plenty signs! But it was in a "sleezy" part of town. No more "up scale" customers, they wouldn't come into that part of town. Whew, I made a real bad call on moving. Anyway, I got to know a LOT of people on "welfare", it was rather eye opening. I realized that those "taking advantage of the system" were out weighed by those who truly needed help. It completely changed my thinking on the whole welfare issue seeing it up close and personal.
...then I closed the shop and moved because frankly, it was to depressing dealing with those folks everyday (bless their hearts). I got robbed, I got assaulted, it was all in all, not pretty.
