I believe stories like this are legion across the US, screwing the taxpayers. As funds dry up, look for more to be nailed.

Doesn’t sound like his stores are part of DOLLAR TREE.

I go to Dollar Tree because they seem to be pro-America culture, tend to have books written by Conservatives and great deals on Bibles and Christian books. Everything for a dollar!

Farooq? Didn’t a Farooq come over on the Mayflower?

Before I saw the name or face I guessed, “from Pakistan” but turns out he’s from Somerset. Bigotry will lead you into error every time.

My son got a job at Dollar Tree unloading/handling freight. The manager hired him then went on vacation for 3 weeks. When she got back she fired him. He still hasn’t been paid.

No his “ancestors” were part of the Indigeonous Muslims that were already here when the Pilgrims landed! Now he's “farooqing” our government, and by extension, us!

There are lots of ways to get away with this, as long as you don’t get too greedy.

I was watching a crime show and the guy had immigrated over here and opened a grocery store. The narrator said that a lot of people from ME come here to open a store or restraint because ‘America is so easy to rip off’.

I live in a city that has $1 Stores all over it, in every ghetto little mall strip in town. They are all just independent stores that I am sure were opened up with minority taxpayer paid loans because every one of them is owned by middle easterners of some kind.
None of them are associated in any way with the chain stores.

He will get 2 weeks probation. He will promise to never do it again. He will do it again.

PAKISTANI, yup.

Did you know even the Pakistan Minister of Transportation 2 years ago claimed on his taxes that he owned NO AUTOMOBILE...?

The overwhelming view in Pakistan is that obeying any law is for stupid people or small people.

It does not surprise me that they import that idea.

Don't you dare suggest that today's modern immigrant is any less than the peoples that founded the country. That would be RACIST! Diversity is our strength.

DIY
Buy yourself a little garden/tool shed and put it in your backyard.
Run power and a phone line out there.
Get yourself a business license as bigheadfred grocery.
Stock the shed with cans of beans and corn.
Get folks that you know and trust who have EBT cards to drop by.
Ring ‘em up for $100 in groceries and hand ‘em $20 “cash back” under the table.
Make sure you pay all your taxes and don’t get too greedy

NULLY! CHECK IT OUT!

My big chance to join hundreds of millions of other successful people!

And all those things they lack I can give up too—honor, honesty, integrity, FAITH— as long as it makes me MONEY.
