Each "abused adult"? You mean the ones who can go to the numerous battered womens' shelters, possibly obtain victims protection orders (or whatever the local equivalent thereof is), etc. It's their choice to continue to be abused. If they want out of that position badly enough, there is an out, although, admittedly, they may not agree. It's still a choice.
Besides, in that case, I don't think an extra ten bucks in food stamps is going to be the answer to their problem.
They qualify for social security and disability and a myriad of other benefits. Therefore, no job needed. My arguments only really reach able bodied/able minded "working people" (as the Democrats would call them).
I actually have. A guy hit me up for cash a few months back, gave me his Katrina spiel. I directed him to the standby manual labor company a few blocks from here.
Again, Democrats argue that there are immigrants here to do jobs "Americans won't do." If they won't work, why should I owe them a living?

Amen, Kevin. I have a pre-schooler who can already chant the family's mantra "You are responsible for your own actions". Yes, sometimes people are handed a crap deal, but you can't take it lying down. Get up, get moving and get over it. Often times, people make their own 'bad luck' which is just a symptom of 'bad choices'. I know it isn't
always the case, so no flames.
