I had a roommate that dated a self proclaimed Reaganite that after a few months of being an aggressive alcoholic stopped showing up to his job of 20~ years, he was then very surprised when there was no welfare for him to collect.

    The myth is so powerful that my dad has seen me firsthand get denied welfare and yet he still buys into "the blacks" getting it basically upon birth. Cannot make this shit up.

    My parents told me my entire childhood that if I go on welfare well never be able to find a job. My mom was incapable of holding down a real job and my dad was constantly in between jobs growing up. It's very stupid.
