I wouldn ' t see them in a different light . He ' s been open about his mental health issues and meds he on , this isn ' t his first rodeo . I wish people would stop giving a pass to someone just because they have a mental disease . They know they do , they know what happens when they stop taking their meds , they are responsible for their actions . <| sep |> As a fellow American , I think it ' s more that people who really need welfare aren ' t being given it , but people who don ' t are . I have a friend who ' s family really could use welfare , because her dad is disabled and her mom can only work parttime , but her mom makes $ 100 too muchmonth for them to be eligible for any welfare . On the other hand though , I know someone who ' s parents both work full time , the kids go to a private school , and they live in a mcmansion , but somehow they ' re getting welfare . It ' s not so much that people are taking advantage of the system as it is that the system is screwed up .
