manage to dress in designer brands, carry expensive phones and live lavishly?

i'm actually not understanding this at all. either they're cheating the government and lying about other income ot they're all in insane levels of debt.

note: we are talking about australian welfare and not america cause everyone's broke in america, no matter what

Idk how Australian welfare works. I've never seen anyone on welfare in america like that though. I mean I've heard the stereotype a million times, but I've never seen it in real life.

They spend their welfare money on necessities, and use the money they make under the table on themselves.  Or Child Support from baby daddy.

Welfare can be claimed depending on your current work situation and living situation. Just because you're on welfare, doesn't mean you don't come from a decent background. Adjusting to being poor isn't easy and a lot of people end up spending the little money they have on really, really stupid shit.

This is an incorrect statement.

In America, we're all on our cell phones, expensive laptops with high speed Internet, watching HD TV, eating at nice restaurants and drinking semi-expensive alcohol, and going, "omg we're so broke."

Ridiculous. People just "feel" stressed about the economy, even though life, at least for most people I know, is very well. And people just seem to complain about small, mundane and irrelavent things.

I don't know a single person who's actually been hit THAT hard by the current economy. We had to cut back on coffee, ooooh so terrible

"expensive alcohol" "high speed internet" and "nice restaurants" are not words id associate with your country, LOL. try fastfood, ADSL slow internet and ok alcohol.

My dad makes about 3-4 mil depending on the year with his businesses, gets to keep about $250k of that after all his work bills are paid off (employee payment, insurance, etc.). (Bout 245,455 when changing to your countries money)

I know that your dollar is worth more, it's why the value of what we get went down instead of up... and I got it from http://www.xe.com/ucc/ . Your a fuckin ass, hope you know that.

Luckily in the U.S. people on Welfare are being required to take drug tests. Funny that this came about after the U.S. started making companies drug test their employees. Working people couldn't do drugs, but lazy welfare could.
