Four kids, and it's the truth. That story I gave is my own from my childhood. I can even give you the address on google earth if you want.

I've met plenty of them too.  Doesn't mean everyone on welfare fits the mold.  I've met white people, both parents have jobs, hard working, can't climb out of the pit.  I don't use the extreme as a rule, only as an example of one of the things the system needs to address.
