I used to have "Section 8" tenants a long time ago. They were welfare cases. The state paid for everything for them. They had more cable channels than you and all of your friends put together.
To be poor in America.
I always felt that welfare should only pay for the essentials of life - not the fruits of labor.
If I were king, I would look through the welfare rolls, and then match it with the cable subscribers lists and deduct the amount these folks pay for cable TV from their welfare checks.
They want cable, or TV for that matter, go out and get a job to pay for it. Don't tax it out of my paycheck!
I agree with you completely.
