| coolestguyever said: There should be no welfare in Canada or the US. There should be worker's comp for legitimate workplace injuries where you can not work for a period of time. But no welfare, all that does is give lazy people money for not having the effort to go out and get a job. |
I was watching a random People's Court case a few days ago and there was a lady on there with her husband and she had filed at least 8 workers comp cases in the last year alone.
So what did she do for a living? Contruction worker? Lion tamer? Fluffer?
No-- she was a janitor at a high school.
She made more than $80,000 in the last year because of her "injuries" and it was just disgusting. Her husband (a black guy) seemed just as bad too. He had several workers comp cases and he was suing his previous work for racial descrimination. Apparently, accoring to him coworkers had left nooses on his desk and his boss wore a white hood around him...
I really didn't believe the guy.
Anyways, the lady's case was her suing her lawyer (!) because she felt the lawyer didn't get her the money quick enough. The lady tried to tell the judge some sob story about her house being foreclosed on but the judge pretty much laughed her out of the courtroom because she had just received $30,000 something dollars and they had just gone on a cruise.
Anyways, it's people like her is why the country is in trouble and she can burn for all I care.
