So it would by hypocritical for me to down the welfare system when I remember putting food on the table depended on it at one time. NOT EVERYONE STARTS FROM THE SAME STARTING LINE IN THIS COUNTRY. Its the fact that the system gives you a chance to do better for yourself that others may or may not have.

This isn't college, this is real life ****. How much did you pay in taxes this year?
There are always exceptions yes. There is a good reason why unemployment and welfare exist. I think what he was referring to was the people that abuse the system.
