Well my question is are you in a position to hire people? I have been trying to get a job in Wilmington for 9 months with NO luck. I am an intelligent woman with a 3.7 GPA in College( computer info systems degree thanks). I also get section 8 that I only got because I was homeless with three children and lived in a shelter for 3 months. I don't want to live off the government but that is what it is there for. When I did work my taxes went towards those programs so it actually IS my money. And FYI I get a welfare check.... a whopping $297 A MONTH for three small children. That barely pays my light bill and I have to make a way to pay for everything else. Also there is a time limit on how long you can even get welfare money and there are stipulations i.e. you have to be looking for a JOB. No one is getting rich off of welfare, sorry to disappoint. I am really sick of the stereotypes.
Tired of the ignorance....
