on California. The Moocher Index compares welfare takers with other states.

Socialism run amok. Here in my State, the Socialist State of Kalifornia, we take a load of taxes from those who work and give it to any freeloader who wants it. Sure, there are those who need a helping hand for a few months until they find work....but in my experience working the streets of a low income area in South Central, many...MANY...of these people on welfare are just too lazy to get a job. Why should they? This state pays them more for doing nothing then they can make at a entry level job. If you add kids to the equation then even more money comes in.
Want to see what our tax dollars are going to?

California welfare recipients using state-issued debit cards withdrew more than $1.8 million in taxpayer cash on casino floors between October 2009 and last month, state officials said Thursday.Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued an executive order requiring welfare recipients to promise they will use cash benefits only to "meet the basic subsistence needs" of their families. The order also gave the state Department of Social Services seven days to produce a plan to reduce other types of "waste, fraud and abuse" in the welfare program.
~~~Those cards, known as Electronic Benefit Transfer cards, look and work just like ordinary debit cards. They allow welfare recipients to access two accounts: the cash offered so needy parents can provide a home for their children while they train for better jobs, and an electronic version of food stamps that comes with rules governing where and how the benefits can be spent.
The cash benefits, however, can be withdrawn and spent just about anywhere.

One of the local Injun Casinos is pretty close to Martha’s Village, a homeless shelter. The place is always crawling with the ‘Village People’.
This isn’t an accident of course.
Why shouldn’t illegal immigrants have the same rights
as “too big to fail” bankers?
Don’t you go telling them how to spend their money. :0) I have never understood how people on the dole can have satellite TV or very expensive cell phones. I can’t afford either one.
Calipornia might have better odds at the Casino than with their elected “leaders”
What a crock. I have watched this state go from the best in the nation in many respects to the bottom of the liberal dung pile — in a little over 30 years. It is the welfare haven of America. All the losers come here, which includes having the highest count of illegals of any state.
Our state “government” needs money — get rid of the illegals and they would have another $15 BILLION per year or more to use for the LEGAL RESIDENTS of Taxifornia. And that is just for starters...
Many welfare recipients use multiple identities and nonexistent children to increase the amount of money they get. Many have boyfriends with jobs and the welfare money is a disposable income. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had people offer to sell me food stamps or cards.
California is going to raise your taxes btw.
And if you complain, you’re a racist.
Have a nice day. :)
“Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger issued an executive order requiring welfare recipients to promise they will use cash benefits only to “meet the basic subsistence needs” of their families.”
Well, I’m sure this will stop them!
This is just the tip of the iceberg!
But those who gamble with other people’s money have good intentions of winning!
Neato! But do I have to live in Kalifornia to sign up? What if I lied and claimed I lived there. Wouldn’t that be considered spreading the wealth?
