Riddle me this: could you have gotten out of the cycle of poverty if you had not had welfare support? If you had been homeless and starving and sick, could you have achieved what you have?

By leaving home at 16 and working my ever loving butt off. By leaving behind the place from where I came, cutting ties with those from where I came and dedicating myself to the famliy I have made. I lived in a Salvation Army shelter while I was in Junior High school because my parents couldn't keep a place over our heads. I remember my school bus stop was within sight of the shelter so I would walk around the block the long way so the other kids wouldn't see where I came from. Starvation is NOT a problem in this country even for the homeless. Food banks, and cheap staples are abundant why do you think obesity is so prevelant amongst the poor? Also remember, I am the exception out of 4 other family mambers. That is the norm where I am from and in many places where welfare is the primary source of income.

And I never said I was sick... I'm not Tiny effing Tim I'ma grown ass man who pulled himself up by his boot straps and by the grace of God I made myself into a productive member of society (even if I did make some mistakes along the way.)

You can work as hard as you like but if the pay ain't good enough, you will be stuck in the poverty trap. Just look at farmers, they work really hard but aren't exactly rich are they?
