My topic is: should people who have degrees receive government help? I
believe that over half of the people who use government help such as: welfare,
food stamps, Medicare, and social security, abuse its help because
they don’t need it. Most of them are taking away chances of poor people
who need the money to support their families. Some of them might even be wealthy
and have plenty of money to support them. In addition, I can almost
guarantee that most of the people who abuse the governments’ welfare have gone
to college and have gotten their degrees. They abuse the right to have
help when you NEED it, but if they have thousands of dollars in their bank account
they clearly don’t need help. They are obviously just greedy and what
more of what they don’t need. Because of people abusing its power there is a
controversy with the democrats and republicans on whether there
should be welfare and support systems. They don’t know that maybe half of the
people using it may have 5 million dollar bank accounts. The democrats may
argue that there are benefits for the people that need it. They get the
help that they need to live a happy life so they can support their families.
They would get public assistance, support from the government, and there
is even a program for single mothers that need help it is the Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families. They even have help for veterans.
They would argue that it is a help to millions of Americans. The republicans on
the other hand would argue that the people who don’t need it and use it are
just lazy, and that the people who abuse it are duplicity, two
faced for being one thing and acting another. Moreover, the people who need it
are in disparity toward the wealthy people because they don’t have as
much money, but the wealthy people that do take advantage of the government’s
money. In our democracy, there is a large amount of people in the workforce,
people that have employment, but then there are people who are unemployed
who need help to survive. If a single parent lost their job how are they
to support their children without help? Government support is needed in some
homes, but many people abuse its help because they have plenty of money for
their families and even for them. Greed is all that they are.
