In addition, I reject the entire concept.

Let’s say you are a Section 8 welfare recipient, receiving free rent, free income, raising a family, you are a drug addict, you are protected by a multitude of anti-discrimination rules pertaining to welfare and Section 8....

And you do not one damn bit of work ever - Now where on the scale do we adjust for this “inequality” running the other way???

Section 8 welfare recipient, receiving free rent, free income, raising a family

The taxpayer cost of section 8, free food stamps, health care, cell phones, public education, subsidies on cable TV, internet, utilities, plus the cost of government hirelings to administer all this, is easily $4,000/month tax free per welfare case. To make $4,000/month in interest after taxes someone would need to invest $2,000,000 in T-bills. A welfare recepient is functionally a multimillionaire. Is that factored into their comparisons?

I've got a family like that next door. A good for nothing old dad, and a white welfare mama with multiple children from different black men. And she has a live-in lesbian lover. They all do drugs, don't do any maintenance work on the home, and the cops are constantly called there for problems. The rest of the block is comprised of good normal people who hate this "family".

What irks me is seeing the lesbian couple bring a bag of beer bottles every day to their front stairs, pull them out and get drunk. While I work on maintaining my home. They trade their welfare income for the booze and drugs. So they are living on our tax money, and not contributing anything to society. Multiply this by millions, and see that it is us who should be protesting in the streets.
