The way I see it is that I pay taxes when I work. those taxes are used to fund programs like WIC. so when I have an off year I don't feel as bad when I have to sign up for assistance of some sort because I helped pay for it. when I go back to work again I will continue to help pay for it so the program will be there if I need it again in the future.

Ok I am 25 ten weeks pregnant, and i see no problem using WIC when needed. I as it stands a single mom, and that is what taxes are for. I pay my taxes, and even while working I still feel that if you qualify its there to help, to assist ... not to drag you down, to abuse. USE IT SISTER ITS THERE!!! :-)
