I would LOVE to see actual statistics and real data to support your arguments other than "Someone told me they were doing this, and i believe them" Because making that argument without ANYTHING to back it up, is elitist and just plain wrong.
There was a recent startalk i was listening to where they were talking about UFOs, and how scientists laugh at eyewitness testimony due to the fact that human eyes and minds are flawed where they will come to conclusions that have no scientific data to back it up.
Just because you want to see something some way, does not make it true, and you heard it from someone who heard it from another, does not make it true either.
Fact of the matter is that yeah, there COULD be people gaming the system, HOWEVER, you are painting with broad strokes a picture that the whole welfare system is broken and wasting your precious tax dollars which simple is not true. Is it flawless, no, Nothing is. Does it do more good than not? Yes. Could a WorkFare system work better in conjunction with a Welfare system, yes. But frankly, painting all welfare recipients as escalade driving, filet mignon buying cheaters is just stupid without any evidence.
