I was working as the Manager of a group of rental houses, when Obama was elected. There were some hard working families and some Section 8 families. One man I remember well was a Sec8 renter and his rent payment out of his pocket was $8.00 a month. His utilities were all paid and he got other forms of support. This man was healthy and able in all ways. After Obama was elected he informed me that he would no longer pay $8.00 a month, he felt that he had paid enough rent and it was now going to be free.
I did explain that he was not going to be allowed to stay if he didn’t pay his rent. After he was $16.00 behind in his rent, I bagan the eviction process. When we got before a Judge, the renter said that “We in charge now. Black folks don’t work for you no more, we are finally free, and you got to accept that.” The Judge didn’t see it that way, and he was evicted. The nonpayment of rent was a breach of the Sec 8 contract. He was not allowed to have another Sec8 contract for two years. The last time I saw him he was screaming at the Judge that Obama was going to have him fired. That didn’t happen.
I put up with this and many like it for five years and then began working in another field. It just kept getting worse through those eight years.

WTF is this “work” of which your former renter was speaking? By your post, he hadn’t turned a tap in years yet he was bold enough to use the word “work” in front of the judge when he was being evicted over the matter of $16???

Outrageous, but not at all surprising.

Watch this about a Section 8 renter:

Throwing away thousands of dollars of free taxpayer paid welfare over $16 takes a special kind of stupid.
