We did just that with katrina “victims”, they sold the copper wiring, appliances, and ac units faster than they were put out.

Oh come on! Just because someone is on food stamps doesn’t mean they sell drugs or are prostitutes.

That would be fraud in my state; household income would disqualify. And they do prosecute.

He tells the state that he's simply renting from his girlfriend. She had bought him a car, they just did a huge remodel on her house, etc... it's pretty sickening. He also steals all his movies online... just your typical leftist.

Why don’t you turn him in? It would serve him right.

No it means that they're parasites.

Well, it’s not like we didn’t know this society is absurd. So what do we do about it? I mean actually DO something.

Um...WHAT?

I got a giant economy box of Rice Krispies for $1.25 the other day. I haven’t seen any steak for $1 a pound recently.

I’m tempted to. This guy used to be a Hollywood scriptwriter (long ago) and wrote for shows like Adam 12. Now he steals all his movies and TV shows on the newsgroups. The hypocrisy is amazing.

Some people are incurable. Maybe if one of the former tenants had beaten him up, he might have changed his views.

Look on the bright side. They’ll probably get diabetes or a heart attack.

Yep. Several years ago, I was standing behind a woman at the checkout counter. She had lobster and steaks. I was thinking “Sure would be nice to have that”. She paid for it with food stamps. I thought, “What the heck, maybe it’s an anniversary”. I went out and saw her get into her new Ford Pickup.

The brand name large cereal boxes at supermarkets are more like $4.50-$5.50 around here. Bagged and store brand less. Occasionally the dollar stores will have smaller cartons for their namesake buck.

...“name brands” and the best cuts of meat ... ..

My personal fave is being in line behind a woman half again my size who lets the cashier run up the full total for her cart and then announcers that she doesn't have enough in food stamps to pay for it. Then has the clerk help her select out enough stuff to make the totals meet.

I actually heard one guy tell the perp to go ahead and take it because he'd got the difference down to "only three dollars".

After that comes the guy (last week) who parked his Mercedes across two handicapped spaces while his kid sauntered into a restaurant, spent about five minutes inside, and then sauntered back to the car. When I left they were still sitting there and the police apparently had other things to take care of.

There is only one way out. Secede from this bastard Union. If that leads to another Civil War then so be it. Bring it. I’m ready to give it a try.

This is fun to scream about, but in reality does it makes any difference to the taxpayers of Wisconsin what these folks do with their welfare money?

Your posts are idiotic.

I did not imply that all people drawing food stamps were of low morality. The single person I was referring to is the owner of the receipt.
