Mark my words: you're looking at the next president of the United States.
The problem with America is the the liberals expect the people to be told what to do......
that is why they are always promoting the feel good eutopian bull to the lazy people who dont work for a living

Last year, I lost my job. Not because I had done anything wrong, in fact, it was because the ultraconservative boss decided to run off with all the company money, including about 8000 employee's wages. Happily, I live in a country where I was able to recieve some support. Not a lot, but some. And it was greatfully received. I now have a better job, where I earn more money than before and have guaranteed stability for the next two years.
If I had lived in the US, I'd have been bankrupted by an unforgiving system, and marginalised within society.

And if you believe that democrats don't make money your kidding yourself
I commend you for using the welfare sytem the way it was intended to be used,....Over here most people don't. Instead your hard earned money after using the system for necessitious reasons would have been sent to the local drug dealer who grosses more in a year than I would in ten

I got screwed by this ultra right system too, I had a retirement account of about a quarter million, not much of an account but I could have paid off our mortgage and such but it was in a kind of account I could not change and in the year 2000 it lost 90 percent so here I am at age 66 with a full time job making half what I was making before trying to make ends meet working third shift, very high tech job for sure but I thought at that age I got to sit on the porch and play my guitar and play folk music at festivals but all that's out the window thanks to our totally screwed up society here. The government jumps right on you if your retirement account makes money, the first ones there if you withdraw but if it goes down the tubes, oh well sport, tough luck.

No, the never caught my former boss, Mr Saruhashi (Monkey-bridge, in Japanese). He really had a lot of gaul before the company went down, blaming the instructors for its demise, whilst drawing a 300 million yen per year (about $3M US) salary, and billing the main company (Nova) US$100,000 a month for the use of his propriety video-conferencing software. The biggest problem really was a complete lack of foresighted management, and whilst not strictly dishonest business practices, ones which weren't as open and transparent as one should like.
I'm really sorry to hear about your story, it sucks when the government decides to change its fiscal policy to provide tax-cuts for the people who need them least, whilst charging everyone else for it. Hopefully, at least you still have your house, which is something.

With a system like welfare, the fact that a minority of people use it irresponsibly does not mean that the system should be scrapped - that would affect the poorest and weakest most. It is the equivalent to amputating the whole leg when you have a thorn in your foot.
At most, the system needs to be revised, to make it more accountable, and to try and eliminate benefit frauds.
We have benefit frauds in the UK too, but the welfare system will never be revoked in the UK because the public realises that the public good which is served by having welfare is far higher than the problems with the system (numerous as they are).
