There is no wrong or right to the recent increase in welfare benefits. There is only wrong. So much wrong that it boggles the mind.
It is wrong to take from hard working New York State residents of the United States of America, and give it to people that are generation welfare recipients - tbeing stated with complete compassion to the minority of people collecting welfare benefits that actually need it. People on welfare that have never had a job and have no intentions of getting a job should not be on welfare. That is wrong.
The fact that every New York State resident that has a job is getting more money taken out of their pay check, and people that don't work and never will, get a raise is wrong.
Maybe they should get a raise. They are valuable citizens of New York State. They provide valuable votes to the corrupt politicians that voted to increase benefits to people that don't work and never will. Way to go Albany. You are wrong.
Why should people of New York wait to have a child with a person they love, and wait until the couple is financially ready to support a child? Children are like tokens in New York. The more tokens you have the bigger your tax return. Wrong again New York. Having kids is a bonus. The more kids, the more money. It's like a credit card rewards system.
Why do people that work in New York have to pass drug tests? People that collect and don't work and never will, take the taxes of people that work and were drug tested and were not tested to receive there handout. Wrong.
The people that represent the working citizens of New York State in Albany are despicable. The fact is they don't represent the working class in New York State at all. They represent New York City and the parasites that feed them votes. In nature when a host has too many parasites, the host dies. New York has too many parasites and they have no reason to look for a job - they just got a raise why would they. It's time to get angry, working class citizens of New York.
