Casual Argument

The topic I have chosen for my first major essay deals with people who are on welfare. "If you are on welfare, then you can rely/depend on the government funding to survive." What I would be researching is the different types of ways that people tend to use welfare to their benefits. Government funding on welfare is suppose to help lower class americans by giving them some kind of money to start off from, not to depend on for the rest of their lives. By like taking advantage of the government fundings and finding ways to cheat the government for money instead of trying to find a job. What I have in mind so far for the paper is to find some articles or read up on some things that have to deal with welfare and people taking advantage of it. Maybe even get into financial aide, and research on how some students use the money that financial aide give them to spend on other things besides school; things that would be wanted but not needed. Also, I would write about how the government may need to take these things into consideration and possibly think about reforming the welfare program in order to make sure that those who need money get enough, but not to abuse the government funding them. The taxes that are taken out of people's paycheck has some portion to going to these lower class americans who sit on their butt all day and take it easy because all they have to do is figure out ways to cheat the government to get more money.

This topic is interesting to me because I feel like sometimes the lower class americans get an advantage in life. In society today, there are upper, middle and lower class americans. The upper class have tons of money, in which they may have or may not have worked for; some may be lucky and just be born rich from their previous family generations. Middle class americans are people who have to work for their money, they do not have tons of money to spend, but they have some money to spend on things that are wanted but may not necessarily be needed. Lower class americans are those who can't afford many of the things that they need in order to survive on a day to day basis. I have seen many lower class americans who have cheated and taken advantage of the government funding. Instead of finding jobs or a way to make money, they figure out ways to cheat the government in order for the government to give them more fundings because they make it seem like they need more money to survive.
