Just because a Guy doesn't make it into the higher 3rd of the earners of this country doen't make him less of a man than anyone else.
Agreed 100%. The welfare system was designed for those who've lost their job, been injured or had a death of the bread-maker. Unfortunately, it has turned into a money tree for those who choose not to get a real job/education, or have 6 kids even though they have no education or skills.

The crime is that it has resulted in everyone getting gov't assistance looking like a low-life bum. The worst is for those people that have extinguished all other options and have enough pride in themselves to use it as an absolute last resort (sometimes waiting significantly longer than they should) - that's a person that should never be called a low-life.
