Tragedy at a home daycare in Vaughan, ON

[Crayola kiddies]

Umm Sally don't you run a daycare? Or were you just stating a scenario for the average person ? As I said I believe the social assistance system should only be for a limited time. I don't hate poor people , hell I'm not far off from it....I don't have a big fancy degree hanging on my wall and so when I need to put three kids in daycare I said not way and I opened my daycare .... I don't have to pay gas to commute, don't need a special wardrobe, and I'm here for my kids when they get home from school and I bring in an income ......yes I send my kids to public schools and yes I am aware that people who don't have children in the school system still have to pay for it in their taxes ... I don't agree with it... Yes I get child tax credit but this is what I'm trying to say.... Almost all parents qualify for this but then the government is continuing to hand out more money in the form of welfare, subsidized housing, reduced utility rates, and the list goes on .... My mother raised three kids by herself with no support .... She worked two jobs! I was a single mother for a few years and I worked my ass off at my minimum wage job and oh by the way minimum wage was $8.50 I think at the time ....I've been there, done that and not knowing if your going to make all the bills at the end of the month is not fun. But I'm not a hater or an elitist living in an idealistic world but I do abhor people that sit on their ass all day collecting welfare and many other breaks while I bust my butt trying to make a life for my kids.....
