Rocqumore, 46, said he has lived in the Douglass complex since 1997 and does not have a job. He said he thinks it's wrong for the complex to force him and others to work for free while they are paying as much as $160 per month in rent.

Well, he hasn't worked a day in 6 years...

$160 per month in rent

This is miniscule compared to my property taxes. This is the type of person who will vote "yes" on every school referendum that comes along because it will never effect him. There is no connection in his mind between price and value since what he has (as little as it may be) is now being given to him. He views it as an entitlement. If he is entitled to it, how can he be expected to have to contribute to it. After all, it is his.

This is one of the reasons why politicians get elected by pandering to special interest groups and why our method of "one man, one vote" may not be realistic any more.

"Well, he hasn't worked a day in 6 years... "

The last 6 years consecutively. Convenient that they don't even mention his last job. Probably has not worked a day since the state adopted him. Some are willing to lead a simple no frills life, without working. I've seen it first hand in my neighborhood for 20 years.

Why not? $160 is the highest rent! What is the median? The lowest?
