Well, I still like you,
Ashley, even if we disagree sometimes.
That post has been my(and now my family's) life for years. I grew up with only my mom and 3 siblings on welfare. Hearing and seeing people perpetuate the myths of the welfare moms/families wearing designer clothes and driving cadillacs and Bentleys and that poor people cause their own downfall just pisses me off. I lived it, still am, I know the truth. My husband and I are just now(after 10 years of fighting and struggling) getting to the point that we can actually pay rent, utilities, car insurance and gas from pay check to pay check. I'm going to school because I finally have the chance to do it. I sure as fuck didn't wait this long because I was being lazy and didn't want to do anything with my life.
