Why do we keep rewarding taxpayers who do not practice birth control? It is a right to have as many children as you want but they should not be rewarded for having families larger than they can support. They turn in to wards of the community and on welfare that all taxpayers pay, except those getting it don't pay their fair share of the taxes. Families having children beyond their means should be paying more in taxes, not less. The days of large familes to work the farms and being self sufficient has long passed and now have become wards of the state and taxpayers. It's time to instill moderation in the mind set of family size and set realistic goals of the number of children families breed. Force them to be self sufficient on their income and not rely on the rest of their peers to support, feed, and house them.

Good news! I was thinking of getting a job but I guess I'll just wait for my Gov check to come.

You can't just get money, theres a lot more to it than just getting a government check. The only people that get checks forever are the disabled, enyone else can only be on welfare for a certain amount of time, services are now to get everyone in school and to work. Also, if your income is below a certain amount at the end of the year, you don't get as much money back, check out your facts in more detail.

There are those that do have degrees and are working but not making the amount of money they should be making because of greed by higher positioned employees. Do not asume that people just don't work there is a lot more to everyone's situation, lumping all in a catagory is biased.

No. Utah sees a major earthquake every 350 years. Last one? 350 years ago.
