A person doesn’t work (on the books, anyway) but gets welfare, food stamps, tax credits, free Section 8 housing, cell phones, sells drugs, etc. Is it “fair” that this person is treated as having no “income” when comparing statistics, considering they don’t work yet they are provided with tons of stuff?
I can’t don’t know about drug sales, but I speak to people who have all the other atributes on a weekly basis as a triage interviewer for a food/clothing bank. By and large, they are a lazy, pathetic, “gimmee ma stuf” type people.

Welfare families are virtual millionaires. The cash equivalent of their total lifetime benefit package is worth around $2 million.
