Pennsylvanians on public assistance now have a new ‘civil right’ — free cell phones. Meanwhile, the rest of us get to pay higher cell bills as a result.
Recently, a federal government program called the Universal Service Fund came to the Keystone State and some residents are thrilled because it means they can enjoy 250 minutes a month and a handset for free, just because they don’t have the money to pay for it. Through Assurance Wireless and SafeLink from Tracfone Wireless these folks get to reach out and touch someone while the cost of their service is paid for by everyone else. You see, the telecommunications companies are funding the Universal Service Fund to the tune of $4 billion a year because the feds said they have to and in order to recoup their money, the companies turn around and hike their fees to paying customers. But those of use paying for the free service for the poor, should be happy about this infuriating situation, says Gary Carter, manager of national partnerships for Assurance, because “the program is about peace of mind.” Free cell service means “one less bill that someone has to pay, so they can pay their rent or for day care…it is a right to have peace of mind,” Cater explained.
Shouldn’t hard working citizens have civil rights, as in keeping their own money?
A cell phone isn’t a civil right.
I'd be pi$$ed if I lived there. /s
Got to have some way to do drug deals, and not be tracked.
Any more of these “civil rights” and you will soon get “Civil War”....
Back to the re-education camp for you!
This is nt just about taxpayer subsidized cell phones for folks who can’t afford them. Where did the cell phones come from? They didn’t rain from the sky. Someone got a contract to supply them and the service. Who’s that? How are they politically connected? To whom have they made political donations?
Every time there is “free” stuff for “poor” folks there is also a service provider getting rich.
Follow the money.
Where do we pick up our free phones?
When someone gets one of those free cell phones, can you imagine if they said “Hey its my civil right to have one of those fancy Android phones too, with free internet and unlimited texting”
They are part of the same group and service provider of TracFone, Carlos Slim’s (Mexican billionaire) company.

Let’s review...we borrow money from China, we take the borrowed money and buy cell phones for low-income people from a foreign company next door.
Another reason why the freeloaders won’t bother to get a job. Why work when you can get everything you want for free?
Or keep in the loop for the flash mob riot.
I know, I'm an old dog who can't learn new tricks.
"Despite what you hear from the media and the Democrat party, the poor are getting richer. In fact, America's poor are so rich, we should be celebrating it. Bill Whittle has the facts to back it up."
And if the socialists dimocrats won't give it to you, just steal it!!
Wow, it looks like a 3rd world country................
Just wait....
There are a lot of good, hard working people in America who live on a LOT less than the average welfare recipient. They can't afford cell phones, more than one TV, PlayStation's, air conditioners, rib roasts, or any of the other luxuries the lazy do-nothings get for free.
The only people getting richer in America are the politicians and the parasites. The rest are being raped and plundered, and the spoils are being "shared" by the other two.
Ping to check your phone bill. F'n thieves!
