Yeah Dan - I do.

The employer isn't giving me the money - I'm earning and working for it. This basic exchange is the basis of "work". All I owe the employer is an honest day’s work and all they owe me is an honest day’s pay based on fair market pricing for that type of work. Whereas, the welfare recipient is not working or earning a thing. Is it too much to ask the welfare recipient, who is essentially doing nothing for monies received, to be on the up and up when receiving said assistance instead of blowing it on weed and beer? Look at it this way, we the tax payers are the "employer" of the welfare recipient, so why can we not ask for the same in return?

BTW - 28 states also agree with this basic principle and more are starting to follow suit, so I’m not alone in my thinking here - AND it’s ok if we agree to disagree....
