Don't know anyone advocated getting rid of the whole system. It certainly has benefit to society, and is well founded in judeo-christian ethics. Just quit complaining about the cheats, report them and get rid of them, is all I said.
Too many of you forget the country is made up of US and we need to take back the night, so to speak. We don't vote, we don't get proactive on crime (welfare fraud, shoplifting, etc.) so it is no wonder the politicians and the people in charge do what they want. What is the population of Kittanning these days, 5-6,000? That could create one very loud voice at the school board, the county commissioners, yea, verily in Harrisburg. All you gotta do is just gotta get off yor duffs and get involved! How? This board is a good start. At least we are all talking. Send a copy to your welfare office/police dept./whoever is in charge! Let them know YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR COMMUNITY AND WANT TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!
Sorry. Got carried away there. But you get my point?
