Gord's View by Gord Milis Welfare and ether cheats Last week, a mari wbo described hiniseif as "A frustrated landlord" from Prince Albert, Ontario, wrote a letter to the editor of the Port Perry Star. The Ietter centered around welfare cheats, and ended with the statement that 1 was "gutless and al I wanted was the welfare vote." Tt would bc rather unrealistic of me ta pretend that everything the goveruiment does, is in total agreement with everyone. Persouaily, 1 bave neyer pretended ta be perfect, for after al everyone is a mixture of good and bad, rigbt and wrong. It is our duty, l of us, ta make the best of the good lu us, and to.face up to and, we hope, change that which is bari. 1 don't tbink any of us like being bold what other peopie tbink of us, unless of course it's praise. Having said that, 1 do take exception ta anyone calling me "'gutless" because tbat is just not one of my qualities. That letter writer, bad he taken the lime te come and sec me, and ta get to know me, would of course known différent. Pierrre Berton, tbe well.known and respected Canadian autbor chronicled the human tragedies of the great depression of the 1930's in bis book, "The Great Depression." la the chapter dealing with the buman tragedy of Rose and Ted Bates, Mrù. Berton wrote - "Tt belies the attitude in those days bypically beld by men of Prime inister R.B. Bennett's caliber - and, indeed, is still hcid in some quarter s - that welfare would weaken human initiative and produce a generation of sloths feeding from the public trough. Today, we bave thousands of men aud wornen and 43,000 children ahl on welfare, wbo are there because of conditions over which they have no control. 0f course, we do bave somte people who cheat on welfar. These days, the welfare cheats are fine --'dder for "Letters to the Editor" V-ýîd nuinerous newspaper beadliles. 1 along with rnany others, do not appreciate people takiuig-advantage of a system designed te help those ineed. At the same lime, 1 do not appreciate ail the other cheats" cither. I do flot like those people who cheat on theiricorne tax - or the business man who 'collects" receipts in order to pay less icorne tax - or the p hony receipts that are passed in order to dodge paying the correct amount of sales tax< - or those that offer services that quote two prices, the officiai one with a receipt, or the tax dodge way of doing business - no receipts, just cash. Tis type of cbeating, aiso costs each of us more. The services we demand, like new schools and education, health-care, roads, trais, safety in our lives, ail cost each of us dearly. 1 think everyone shouid begin ta look around before they cast ail the stones at weifare cheaters. The World needs more mn ... w/w do flot have a price at which they can be bought. w/w do not borrowfrom integrity to pay for expediency. whose handshake is an ironclad contract. who are not afraid of risk. who have opinions instead of prejudices. w/w are as honesi in small matters as they are in large ones. w/wse ambitions are big enough Io include others. who know how to win withgrace and lose with dignily. _, w/w do not believe that shrewdness and cunning and ruthlessness are the three keys Io success. who stili have friends they made twenty years ago. w/w are not afraid to go against the grain o popular opinions and do flot believe'in "consensus." who are occasionally wrong and always willing to admit it.
