Drink "Kah Kah" Get More Benefits

A growing number of pregnant South African women living in the country's most impoverished neighborhoods are deliberately drinking large quantities of alcohol to harm their unborn babies in a bid to claim higher welfare payments.  Some are, of cause, just addicted, but in interviewing these women they are finding out the aforementioned is very popular.

The Kah Kah, brew is a mixture of yeast, water and battery acid.  Yep you read that right BATTERY ACID!

But there is a way to stop it so read a bit more.

Every month, the South African government gives families 250 South African rand ($29) for every child, but families of disabled children receive more than four times more the amount at 1200 rand ($140) a month.

Selecting such an option to get more government benefits is really among the most sickest things I've ever read.

As perverted and sick as this sounds, inadvertently the government is showing them a way to get more government (welfare) money is to have more disabled children.

The South African government must either stop rewarding families with disabled children more money or strictly enforce safety guidelines and test those receiving such benefits.

Anytime a government gives money (taxes taken from others) to someone not "earning" that money, we tread down a dangerous road.

Nowhere are you to misconstrue that I believe our system is or could ever get this bad or anyone in America is doing this. We want to and should help others in need and I'm happy to help. 

But there is always  danger in handing out money for "nothing" because there is no such thing as money for nothing.   Taking money from someone other than by your labor always leads to odd entanglements.  History is littered with people doing the "wrong thing" for money. We must always make sure that persons receiving aid are really not able to work for a living. 

Right now people like Jason Greenslate for example are the exceptions in our system but government inadvertently teaches you how to behave, and Jason Greenslate (Google him) is doing what he needs to do to get the benefits. Thankfully he is doing nothing at the level of these Africans and I simply use him as an example of how the system helps pervert thinking.

Do not get confused thinking South Africa is a country where people are running around all over with bones in their noses and we are better then them. Check out Google and search on  "South African cities" they are well developed and rather beautiful, especially their government buildings.  Their  economy is the largest and most developed in Africa, and the 28th-largest in the world.

What I'm getting at is, they are not different than us in those aspects.  The mistake (I believe) they have made, is to apply a system like ours to the umpteen degree and without better checks and balance.

We can learn from them and pay attention and be on the lookout for such an end-of-run ideologies as they are experiencing.

I end again with a quote.

"People who make careers out of helping others -- sometimes at great sacrifice, often not -- usually don't like to hear that those others might get along fine, might even get along better, without their help." - John Holt


I very uneasy Speak Out by me I know, but attention should be paid.  It would cause a lot less suffering in the end.

Thanks, and have a pleasant day.
