Link Card



Believe it or not, there are more than "several people" in the world who believes in Lassiez Faire. People who believe in Lassiez Faire believes that the government should have hands off meaning they shouldn't be able to make decisions for people and to help people when needed.

After taking American Government and United Sated History, I realized that I dont agree with those who believe in Lassiez Faire. I strongly believe that the government should be able to have hands on and be able to help others in time of need. For instance, if someone need shelter, food, or clothing, I think that the government should be able to help them by providing the material to match their needs.

I searched the web "the criteria for the link card". While reading and analyzing different websites, I realized that the government tries to help everyone they can and as many people possible. For instance, on the website it states that the government helps people with or without a job but they also states that they rather people have a job then to not have a job. On the website it also mentions that in order to receive help from the government you would have to meet certain criterias. One criteria that was listed was to meet a monthly gross income. Another criteria for applying for a link card is a test that is provided for the person applying. In addition, another criteria that was listed was that the person applying would have to match a certain number based on the amount of people in their house-hold or children they're taking care. The number of people in you house and the number of people that the person is taking care of determines how much money they will be able to receive. If the person applying meet these criterias, their name are written on a list that will determine how much money they will be able to receive.
After researching and asking different people about the process of getting a link card, I agree with the criteria that is given. I think that the government does an excellent job at providing for family who needs it. For example, my mother has never had a link card but I have other family members who have such my aunt who have three children and who's unemployed. By her raising three children and being unemployed that puts her name on a list which is then looked at to see how much money she will receive on the link card. My aunt gets $300 a month to supply food for her and her children. Also, I have a family friend who is a single mother of five toddlers who receives a link card. Her name is also on the list and she receives $500 in link to feed her family.
