I'm sick of people saying "at least you have a job" when there are lots of families sitting on their asses collecting welfare and food stamps while living in government subsidized housing nicer and cheaper than my crappy townhouse while I stress over paying my bills every month. Where exactly is my incentive to work and continue contributing to this?
Well speaking for myself, I'm glad I have a job. Maybe it's different where you live but I don't think welfare here is all that great. It might be enough for some to squeek by but I don't know anybody who's tempted to quit their jobs for it.
Keep in mind Romney wasn't just speaking about those on welfare either. If you didn't pay federal taxes he was including you with the welfare people.
