[PRCo] Re: Responsibility

[Fred Schneider]

Having worked for years in state employment office buildings, where I  
watching a lot of those " street smart" people, I have great  
difficulty giving my money away without very carefully monitoring  
where it goes.   That doesn't say I'm not charitable.   The operative  
word is careful.   I watched an awful lot of qualified people on  
welfare that welfare sent to the employment office to find work and  
who deliberately disqualified themselves.   My own boss had a stepson  
like that, who claimed he was a coal miner.  The kid had no  
experience whatsoever as a miner.   Of course that kept him from  
having to work and kept the shiftless s.o.b. on welfare and all his  
kids and wife on the dole too.  He also monkeyed around as a mechanic  
on the side taking in a cash income.   I suspect he lived better than  
a bus driver working for Muni when all his hidden money was considered.
