What the Hell is Wrong With This Country? (Vanity Rant)
Self | 4/21/19 | Self

Posted on 04/21/2019 3:36:46 PM PDT by kaehurowing

This is the first vanity I have ever posted on FR.

Today, while my wife and I were at the grocery, we got stuck behind an obvious Middle Eastern "immigrant."

He ran up a bill of over $400 in baby formula, cheese, and all sorts of other things. I could see the items being rung up as he was doing this. And then I watched him produce one WIC voucher after another to pay for all of this, and I watched the cashier zero out one item after another. This process took more than 20 minutes, and held up everyone else in line. He even started sending the checkout people to the back of the store to get more stuff for him so he could use up all the WIC vouchers. At the end everything had been zeroed out except for $9.73. Then he whips out his VISA card and pays for that on his credit card.

Why do we tolerate this? We just paid for all of this stuff for this guy, who obviously was not hurting for money. So does he re-sell it or what does he do?

Don’t forget that Muslim men probably have 4-8 wives, they all live together, each woman would get EBT card. See how it’s done.

They do not get MORE money based on what they buy. They CAN buy lobster, but they are not getting more for the rest of the week.

************************************************************

If they are buying lobster with the welfare money they receive don’t you think that automatically means they don’t truly need the help?

We have not seen anywhere near the chaos that is coming. Mostly, thanks to the 1965 Immigration Act, that allowed over 40 million LEGAL third world peoples to pour into the country & vote 80% of the time for Democrats.
............................
Democrat scum primarily responsible for enactment of the 1965 Immigration Act was the Kennedy brother who was not assassinated, sometimes referred to as “the swimmer”.

The third most obvious answer is that we have become mere sheep. We have lost our outrage. Any sane tax paying population would revolt and drag the politicians out in the streets and beat them to death with baseball bats until nothing was left but bloody pulp.
..................................................
The politicians you are referring to, Democrats and RINOs, are major enablers of the filthy illegal parasites sucking the lifeblood out this country.

It’s entirely about world-wide redistribution of wealth. The main goal of the left.

RSA redux, no question about it, just a matter of time.

Does he resell it, give it to the voucher suppliers minus a fee?

It’s exchanged for money and/or drugs and/or weapons and/or payments to assassins.

Do not ever, ever, sling such abuse at me. The term beanlet is not meant kindly. There is a big difference between cry wolf racism and the real thing. I know the difference. I know Whites can be victims of racism. I know non Whites can be racist.

I did not ask anyone to silence themselves. I expressed an opinion about using a word that degenerates a certain ethnic group. Especially since it was about a child.

Now if you in your hidebound ignorance find such acceptable I suggest you do a thorough examination of conscience on this Easter Sunday.

And remember it is posts like yours that make people believe the worst of Conservatives.

Maybe try reporting to the GAO. You could also report to your state’s health and rehabilitative services office since they play a large part in determining disability claims.

Stupid “thinking” like yours is what has us in this mess.
..............................................
You have it absolutely right, but these people, as I’ve said countless times, are either evil, or ignorant, or both, and so it appears obvious they will not be silenced until confronted with life-threatening aggression.

WW I - 1918
Great Depression 11 years later
WW II Another 11 years

1918 to 1945

Then Korea

Real hardship on the home front. Americans didn’t have the wealth or leisure time back then. It was mostly survival and life was not easy.

You are right...not much will stop this except a calamitous war.

I worked in Food Stamps back in the day. We had fraud investigators in our office. Occasionally they’d go through the parking lot writing down tag numbers of the newer, nicer cars. One of them told me they always came back registered to someone besides the client on stamps. That’s what they’re called. Clients. 😂

America submitted itself to a printed, fiat currency, and a Federal Reserve Bank.

With that, they can created massive government debt, and steady inflation. With that, you can pay for 1000 different social engineering schemes

Formula and diapers are in big demand for use as resale items. My daughter has worked for years in grocery retail and sees such scamming on a daily basis. 4 to 500 dollars of such items, then the patron breaks out a credit card or wads of yankee dollars to pay for another easy several hundred.

No wonder illegals are gaming us to the tune of 60,000 annually per person per a recent study. That probably tops off another 60 grand in scams.

That debt will eventually cripple our children or grandchildren. Be happy!

Who is the one who judges?

We need to make sure those people are tracking our money wisely.

I think anyone buying lobster is a fool, so my opinion doesn’t much matter.

I didn’t imply that, and that isn’t the point that I take issue with.

I think perhaps we see it differently. I am old school on this. I think if people are accepting my money, they shouldn’t be able to spend it on anything they please, though I believe that is going to change and soon they will be able to use it to eat at restaurants and rent movies or whatever.

I believe that money WE work to GIVE them should be used for fundamental foodstuffs, not Cheetos and lobster.
