The system is broken which allows lazy people to live off the system.

My wife's grandparents could not qualify for public assistance because they received too much money from social security. Problem with this, they also take care of her disabled cousin. The social security they receive is barely enough to keep their lights on not to mention the money they need for meds. To keep them afloat, my wife's parents financially support them. These people obviously need assistance but do not qualify for it....

Now, take the people who live next to me, somewhat young, fully capable of working, but they don't. Why? Because no one is making them. They can live off the system as long as they want. I was behind them in the grocery store one day, in their shopping cart was some of the same items I had in mine, especially pop. They actually had more pop (named brand) than I had. It would have been nice to fill my cart as much as theirs was but I was on strict budget that week.

This is why the system is broken. It angers me that those who are fully capable of contributing do nothing but yet still have access to the same freedoms that I have (i.e. groceries, health care, housing, etc...) They shouldn't be able to use tax dollars to buy multiple cases of mountain dew. Last time I checked, pop was not a necessity.
