look the bottom line is this.
Fact-1 in 7 Americans are on some form of government help. Social security, medicare, food stamps ext. The upper one percent of America don't realize that they are going to pay one way or another. You can pay for benefits, you can pay a higher wage than 9 bucks an hour, you can pay to re-educate, or you can pay to incarcerate. Those are the options, if you have the scientific data to know witch is cheaper you can choose your course accordingly. One way or another you still have to foot the bill. |

I have only two people that i care about my brother and my niece. His wife would make sure that i never saw either one again if they ever found out that i reported her sister even though they say reporting it would be confidental i cant take the risk. Without those two i wouldnt have a reason to exsist.

I've got a buddy who I worked with at my last job. We both got let go about the same time.
He and his wife have a nice, big 2 story house, they each have a car, a newer pontoon boat (he got one because I got one ), and he has a badass restored Chevy Chevelle SS. His kids have every possible electronic gadget that comes out from game systems to iPhones and iPads. One is in elementary school with a iPhone. WTF? Well, when I lost my job, my wife was pregnant at time and we were worried about the financial situation and we checked out selling our unnecessary stuff and the possibility of getting food stamps and/or other gov. aid. If she had made $20 less, we would have qualified for food stamps, but we didn't. Fortunately I found a job about 2 weeks later. That was 2 years ago. I didn't even try for unemployment. Didn't need it. The last time I talked to my buddy, he was still on unemployment, still getting WIC, and still getting food stamps. And he was able to get his house refinanced with a near nothing interest rate. Dude's wife makes good money under the table working for somebody she knows and this phucker won't even try to find a job. And the sad part, he has no shame and thinks he's doing nothing wrong. |

Sadly, I've seen this as well. My girlfriend's mother works at an elementary school kitchen and many kids get free or reduced lunches paid for by our taxes. Many of these same kids have parents that drive them to school and pick them up in the same vehicles you mentioned and are well off to pay for a simple kids school lunch, but they won't.
