Reader Letter: Abuse of social services needs to stop

We need to educate people to live within their means and not depend on others to pay their way.

I often wonder why our government allows our social services to be abused.

There is work out there if you want to work. I hold two part-time jobs with no medical benefits but manage to support myself.

We need to educate people to live within their means and not depend on others to pay their way. Get up, get moving and stop thinking everyone owes you and that you are privileged.
