In that case you must be receiving "welfare" or benefit payments aka "social security" then. It's nothing to be ashamed of.

Yeah, I doubt that.
Four months is one thing- four years means you're not being the man you need to be hombre.
I used to pay into Social Security, and I have had income or benefit from Social Security, whichever it is.
I did some catering, and that was good.
I don't know that welfare can come from social security.
I have done some catering. But I have not found work. I was hired once but the offer was rescinded without an explanation given. I do have a resume.
Rather, it's more like the government stealing from everyone, taking a cut of what was taken, and then them redistributing the money, to where everyone is poorer.
And for what reason should a person be concerned about this? Do we pity the rich now?
Pretty backwards thinking.
Tax money is much better put into helping the poor than dumping massive amounts into the military or the myriad of gov't programs who lavishly spend every penny they can on luxuries.
That's ((actual stealing)) without even so much as helping with their own tax money unlike those on welfare who nonetheless aren't getting a free ride.
:baby:
All of the above is an appeal to emotion.
Facts are as follows:
There are many people in America who rely on the government to sustain them, instead of relying on family, friends, and neighbors. They make no effort (who are able to) to do anything other than live off the government's teat.
Except it's not a myth.
Welfare only encourages people to live off the government paycheck, instead of seeking help from family, friends, and neighbors.
All while the government takes a cut of the money they take. Meanwhile, everyone becomes poorer and even more unable and more unwilling to help their neighbor.
If I were jobless and homeless I would hope that family, friends, or neighbors would come to my aid if I asked them to.
As it stands now, most would be unwilling because the cost of living is so high.
:blabla:
Who, instead of turning to their family or friends or neighbors for help, turn to the government.
The government shouldn't be in the business of taking care of people. That job should fall to the people around the needy.
Denying that a socialist program isn't socialism means you're lying to yourself and to others.
It's bad government, which makes it easier to avoid relying on family, friends, and neighbors for help.
If people say that I have a disability and I believe that I do not have a disability then do I simply have SSD not knowing why and yet I am not on welfare? I do not own property. Does that figure in to it? Meaning, are those on welfare simply people who do not have property? Such that I do not have property tax. Income tax only if I work.
Sounds like you're envious of the rich.
Envy is a sin, Crucifer.
Only if you envy the rich and their wealth.
Infrastructure and criminal justice.
Is not the government's responsibility, according to God.
I would rather have a well defended nation and the capability of defending other innocent peoples than have an under-funded military.
But that's just me... :idunno:
One thing is for sure. The Government needs to be DOWNSIZED.
Sounds like you just don't like the poor.
(( Criminal justice ))
You can't have a single conversation without some sort of inference of wanting to punish people.
(( Everything I don't like is against God's will ))
Greed is against God's will.
Yeah, you could cut the budget in half and you'd still be giving more money to it than all other military in the world combined.
Your livelihood suffers because America is obsessed with pretend patriotism.
So you are envious? You should repent of that.
I love the poor.
In fact, I love the poor so much that I want them to work hard so they have the opportunity to have enough wealth to pass on to their children.
But, I keep in mind something that Jesus said:
For the poor you have with you always, but Me you do not have always.” - John 12:8 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John12:8&version=NKJV
So, rather than trying to eliminate the poor, going AGAINST what Christ said, I would rather have the poor raise their standard of living, and be able to leave something to their children, so that they are better off.
Why do you hate talking about criminal justice, considering our nation is desperately lacking in it.
Correction: Anything that is or goes against God's will, I do not like.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Money itself, however, is not.
There's nothing inherently wrong with being wealthy, and you would have a hard time proving otherwise using Scripture.
And it's the main reason we're one of if not THE most powerful nation in the world.
And THAT's a good thing.
My livelihood suffers because America is obsessed with the government trying to take care of people from cradle to grave, with enacting and enforcing laws that no one knows but lawyers, with letting perverts run wild in the streets, and covering up wickedness.
Do you get a check from Social Security Disability?

There are many people who don't have family and friends where that kind of sustainability could come about. The only help they could realistically get would be through governmental aid of some sort. There's also plenty on welfare/benefits who aren't just sitting around doing nothing to find work but making the effort in the interim and who have paid into the very system that avails them when they're out of work. You are simplistic beyond words.
No, it doesn't and your saying so means absolute squat.
And what if you didn't have any? Would you willingly starve to death?
So, you'd be prepared to go into run down council estates and charitably provide for people who without government aid would be starving? Those without family or friends who could support and neighbours in a similar position whereby benefits are the only means of buying food? Do you ever think things through in any depth or do you just bloviate?
Once again, many people aren't in a position where they have such support and what makes you think that family, friends and neighbours have some sort of financial means to aid anyway?
Yeah, right...
While denying the needy in society even temporary aid while between jobs even.
There's plenty people who are on benefits who are actively looking for work and reliant on such in the interim.
Heck, you don't even get the basics right, as follows:
Of course it isn't and you should be embarrassed at such a misquote, as scholarly as you seem to think you are where it comes to the Bible.
"For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil".
There's many an atrocious act where money plays no part at all, like rape, child molestation etc so quit lecturing when you can't even recognize the downright obvious.
I think so.
You would have had to have been examined by a doctor to determine if you have a disability (either mental or physical) and the SSD office would have been sent that report of your disability.
So you should already know what your disability is.
I do not have a physical disability and I have received diagnosis otherwise but I do not agree with it.
It's also stealing from the "rich" and giving it to corporations....or did you forget the car/bank industry bailouts?
Here's what one car maker is doing with it.
