Which brings up another question which one wouldn't ask in public for fear of being killed. (Also I've enjoyed more than my share of paid vacations) But to get back to basics, should one really be paid anything for not working? Where does the money for that pay come from? When one person gets a freeby, obviously another person is being screwed. Ya can't suck and blow at the same time!
The problem is that just about everything in our politics and businesses is run by bean counters and they don't factor such logic into their calculations.It's to the employers advantage to have content workers, if that two or three weeks off makes them more productive in the end, I don't think their bottom line is going to suffer.
A few? Welfare fraud in Massachusetts is in the tens of millions. But the people who live free and full lives, vacationing in Hawaii basically say...
"Hey... I didn't create the system... this is all legal."
They're right. The Governor said on the radio that "If a woman needs a to get a manicure before a job interview they should be able to use the EBT card."
Yeah right Gov. The thousands of dollars spent at beauty salons and spas last year were all people trying to get off welfare.
Our poor live better than the wealthy and middle class of most countries. They get free everything. Even trips to the beauty salons and tattoos.
The fact that it actually grants its workers longer vacations than the supposedly more developed USA is the entire point of the comparison., but once again you missed the point.
I think it is a culture thing as well. I was surprised seeing ciestas in Spain. Those would never work here. At least I don't think they would. I suppose it simply isn't part of our culture to have so much vacation time.
You need to reform your system then. In Ontario, I believe welfare recipients automatically have their rent deducted from their monthly stipend and the remainder goes to the person, which isn't a whole lot, certainly not enough to be getting their fingernails painted./
Might it not have something to do with the advertising of America, the land of milk and honey. Everybody who immigrated there were sold that bill of goods. Now that they expect it, all whining and bitching begins.We do but it will never happen. Not in this state at any rate. Massachusetts is lock solid Democrat and very liberal. It is a right for Welfare recipients to have their visits to Nail Salons and Spas paid for by the taxpayers here. We should only people who earn their money be able to have such luxuries and exotic vacations?

They get here in Massachusetts for sure. All for free. Cars, health care, food, housing, spending cash, taxpayer funded vacations... milk and honey baby! Just stop working and claim your entitlements from the state and don't forget to vote Democrat!

I think you might be exaggerating a bit, Eagle. According to 2000 funding levels, the TSNF (TANF = Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) was between $565-$579/m. You certainly won't be able to buy a car on that or any luxury for that matter.
The state has a program where you can get a free car, insurance, repairs even a AAA membership!

Temporary... now THAT is funny. Whole generations of Massachusetts families are on welfare. That money amount you quoted... that is probably just the spending cash they get on top of the free food and housing vouchers and everything else that is simply handed over.
The free car thing is pretty ridiculous, I can understand maybe free transit passes but cars is another story...
The same is here but I don't think that's a systematic problem, some people will just abuse programs that are available to them.
I find vacations stressful. Laying around doing nothing drives me nuts when I think of all the projects that are not being done.
It's not your English that's the problem, it's your heavily faulted logic that confounds the issues so greatly.
I suppose that the Costa Rican gvt could also offer free oil changes to everyone that owns a Ferrari too, although it won't do any good to the average person.
Too funny... I wonder how many 'average' Costa Ricans (in this developing nation and all) can actually afford to take the time off and travel or do nothing as opposed to use the time to augment their income elsewhere.
