» jesika15 - Cycle of Abuse of the System

The other day I was talking about this very subject with some friends and the question that came up was, if people are getting help, whether it is welfare or other forms of aid, why don't these people do work for the city/town or community in which they receive this aid from? Kind of a get back to work program. Example, upon collection of welfare or any form of state or community aid, you sign a contract to do certain things in the community you live or help out at certain businesses within that community, with a job tailored to your ability.. I am very involved in the community and seem to see the same people at everything. Ironically, it is the business owers who pay a ridiculous amount for taxes, or members of the community who are employed full time and do not receive any form of aid. This program would also help build self-confidence and may transition people back into the work place, which should be the goal. The system should not be in place for people who just don't want to have a full time job, which in my opinion is the case most of the time.
