My wife's dad dated a white trash whore that got section 8 housing and food stamps. She moved in with my wife's dad but kept the house in her name because if she changed her address to his then she would lose her government assistance. So we the tax payers were paying for a house that was uninhabited. On top of that she worked at KFC but only part time. They offered her a promotion but she turned it down because she would lose her assistance. I asked her ” isn't that the point? You get assistance when you need it and try to better yourself to eventually not need it?” She laughed and said ” no, it's there for people to use so I'm gonna use it till it's all gone.” And that folks is the problem with America.

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to flame you and I'm not familiar with Kentucky law, but I see no way in hell how this can be true.
Is she on disability? Is she separated from her husband? And if this is somehow true, it's certainly not the norm, and most states would NEVER allow this. |

Yup, 1,000,000 dollars. You can get food stamps right now no matter how much you make. Florida recently passed a law which required anyone on food stamps to have to submit to random drug tests. People acted all outraged. I laughed my ass off. They literally had people selling stamps to buy drugs. There was a guy busted recently who was dealing thousands of dollars a month in drugs. They busted him while he was collecting his food stamps.

That's what happened to Greece. Either everyone was a civil servant taking from the governement or a regular joe who never paid taxes in their life. Now the coffers are empty. It's all gone.

A long time ago before the food stamp debit card you would see people standing in front of the welfare office selling theirs for 50 cents on the foodstamp. I know this because one of my moms friends would do this to get extra bingo money.

Maybe, but how much taxes do normal people pay in their lifetime. She said that she got a lump sum of about $700,000 and that after taxes she ended up with a little over $500,000. So, roughly she paid $200,000 in taxes. By my estimate most people will probably pay at least that much in taxes during their lifetime and probably more, and they won't be taking a dime of public assistance.

I grew up in a pretty shitty neighborhood. My mom was a single parent (dad died when I was 4). I have an older brother and a younger sister. My mom worked 3 jobs at times just so we never had to go on any assistance. I've seen people buying food stamps for basically nothing. Hell they used to give you your change in cash lol. So the mom would send her kid in with a 5 dollar stamp, he would buy a loaf of bread for a dollar, bring mom the change and she would buy cigarettes.
