The abuse of welfare is a controversial part of United States society. People abuse welfare for the same reason they abuse Medicaid, charities, and the kindness of others. It is because those who abuse are lazy, selfish, greedy, or downright bad people.

Such a thing puts those who truly need a government check to shame.

No one talks about those who actually need it, they only yell at the few who have abused the system for years.

There are quite a few circulating stories about "sixth-generation welfare recipiants". In other words, entire families who live off of welfare when they're old enough to apply. These men and women take advantage of charity and the kindness of humanity.

Although many need welfare to live, it is nonetheless one of the more abused government projects, considering that most anyone over eighteen can file for it and pass a sprawling bureaucracy. Welfare reform is currently a rarely-discussed topic because of it being overshadowded by bigger issues.

Welfare had very good and noble intentions. It was designed to help the poor purchase food, pay their rents, and eek out an existence when charity was unavailable. Sadly, as is with all human nature, the practice was absued, and, infamously, there are now multiple generations of welfare abusers that are still living off the government payroll.

Welfare should not be abolished; rather, it should be reformed. Ask any right-wing man (and several on the left, too), and they will all tell you the blunt answer: those who abusewelfare are lazy people who should get off their butts and work, insteading of waiting fore their free money every month or so.

From there, they separate. Some call for abolition of welfare, and only using food stamps to live on, and others call for welfare reform, and/or increased supervision over who gets it and how.

Where there is charity, there is abuse of charity. Where there is kindness, there is someone who takes advantage of it. Where there is forgiveness, there is someone who does wrong and expects it. The abuse of welfare is a fact of life. Any good thing in human nature will have someone who takes advantage of it.

Why should people stop animal abusing?

Living organisms should not be abused by humans because it is detrimental to the animal as well as to the character of the abuser. The question is, of course what constitutes abuse and which people or groups of people determine what behaviors are abusive. Examples: 1) some animal welfare groups believe that keeping animals as pets is a form of exploitation and abuse. 2) some animal welfare groups believe that killing an animal for human consumption is abuse. 3) some welfare groups have very specific ideas of how animals must be maintained, often in a way that is contrary to industry standards. This can be a proactive, free range, cage less type of concept that is beneficial to the animal or it can be taken to the extreme and used to make animal production and ownership unaffordable.
