I got one for you.... I have heard of this, but this is the first time I have personally witnessed it.... I am in line at the gas station yesterday to grab some smokes and pop, and a woman is in line in front of me with a cute little girl...she has 2 mountain dews, a slushie for the kid and some candy bars for the kid...she whips out her bridge card ( debit card for food stamps here in michigan ) and pays for the goodies. Now, I am willing to pay for the candy for the kid if the card does not work, because every now and then a kid needs a treat. No, the card works and pays for it all.... I think nothing more of it, move up and pay for my stuff...as I exit the store, there is the welfare lady getting behind the drivers wheel of a BRAND NEW CADILLAC...I cannot afford a brand new anything, and both myself and my wife work!!!!
You’ve brought up my Achilles heel in all this: I’ve paid so much in taxes “without representation” that if I could get food stamps, welfare, or anything else I’d happily take it and consider it a repayment of taxes incorrectly charged.
I think a lot of us feel that way. And if enough do it, our country will go down even faster.

Well, to put it in perspective, Cadillacs ain’t what they used to be. ;-)
