I'm Promoting Welfare! Let's "Dispel the Myth".


I’ve decided to try to remove the stigma of welfare and what a terrible thing it is since I’m one step closer to being there.
If you take into consideration that, in order for us to work, the Government must provide us with the means to get to work and all the things we need in order for us to go to work and do our job. Let’s not forget that everything we buy is subsidized by the Government at some level to make it affordable for us to buy.

Let’s start by taking into consideration:
  1. The cost of providing transportation for the public to get to work which includes Public Transit, automobiles, auto parts, gas, roads, road repair and maintenance.
.....2. The cost of subsidized Daycare.
  1. The cost of our work clothes and accessories.
  1. The cost of packaging in order for us to have a meal during the day, either at a restaurant, food court, lunchbox and lets not forget coffee and the paper cups.
  1. The cost of supplying us with a building to work in, work related equipment, supplies, heat and electricity to operate the building and equipment. This list is endless.
  1. The clean-up cost of working such as garbage pick-up, floor washing, window washing and walkway cleaning.
.....7. .Etc., etc., etc.
There’s so many other "hidden work” expenses that the Government subsidizes in order to make it affordable for all of us to go to work.
Now let’s talk Job Creation and the cost to all taxpayers for the Government to create jobs that really are not necessary but because the people of our Country have to earn a buck to pay their expenses.
When I take a good look at the expense of the Government subsidizing our work related needs, I have to wonder if it’s not cheaper for the Government just to give me a welfare cheque every month instead of providing me with all the necessities that it takes to get me to a job that doesn’t really have to get done but someone created it so someone like me can earn a pay cheque and merely exist.
Will our tax dollars go further if more people went on welfare and sat on their asses? I wonder … …
