I have never seen that comment or anything even close.

Most I see is STATISTICS on the increase in welfare FRAUD !!!

PS...I have done some research on this and can tell you I have WITNESSED AND SEEN the soliciting of people in downtown Tampa to attend "classes" on how to work the system...not just welfare but all of the system. I never heard anyone say that ALL poor or even a percentage were lazy however and am just curious how this came to be
It wasn't a link. It was statements made by many on this forum presently and in the past. And just because you have seen this soliciting doesn't make it right to apply a blanket opinion of all poor people. I have seen just as many trying to do the right thing.
