No Respect For People or Property
I just saw a news headline that boiled my blood. It featured someone that was living in government funded housing and had trashed the place, racking up about $50,000 in damage to the property. Smashed windows, busted walls, ripped up carpet and rubbish everywhere. But, this was the third house he’d done this too! What the hell!?!?! Here’s me, working my butt off so that I can only narrowly afford the rent for my dodgy two bedroom apartment, and this freeloader gets house after house after house for nothing! Where’s the logic and the level playing field. Where’s the leg-up I need to help me buy my own house. I don’t want to be a burden on the “system”, but it would be nice if the “system” helped out the people who are really trying to help themselves. And yes, I know there are some tiny little handouts I’m probably eligible for. But serious, if the government agencies, such as Centrelink in Australia, think that anyone can understand their forms, policies and procedures, then they are kidding themselves.
What I’d like is to be able to apply for an agency worker to come out and visit my family and me. Sit down with us, talk to us like people instead of reference numbers and then, having understood our situation, go and figure out the best way for us to benefit. Then, for them to make it happen. I don’t have time to be chasing a hundred different forms to apply for one thing, it’s too much. Especially when we’re raising a young family.
So how the hell does the freeloader that destroys all these free houses he’s presented with get away with it? And who decided that he should get access to another one?? That’s a very bad choice. People like that need to learn how to respect property and people. Giving them free handouts will not accomplish that.
Help those of us that are trying to help ourselves.
