My mom is on a fixed income and hubs and I are not well off.
Several years back she had some minor health problem. Not serious enough for the hospital but serious enough for a prescription.
She didn’t have health insurance and cares for my completely disabled father so it’s hard for her to get out of the house so I helped by turning in her paperwork at the welfare office so she could get Medicaid or whatever it is.
I saw a lot of Escalades, tattoos, weaves, perfect mani-pedis and the latest cellphones and bling of all sorts.
There are a lot of folks gaming the system.
Sometimes I wonder if all those stories I hear about people collecting in more than one state or using several identities is true.
The people who use other people’s identity are the ones who really make me mad. They are ruining people’s lives by stealing their places. Sometimes the victims of the ID thieves are arrested because the ID thieves used their ID when being arrested. All that kind of thing is extremely difficult to clear up. It costs a lot of time and money.
I have no sympathy at all for anyone who comes here illegally and steals someone’s identity to blend in.
Too bad for the kids that their parents made such lousy decisions.
NJ is quickly filling up with illegals; the taxpayers aren’t allowed to ensure that the children they pay to educate in our public schools are even here legally. Nobody wants to enforce immigration laws because much of the state would revert to the pristine wilderness the Dutch first encountered centuries ago; between Americans refusing to breed and many fleeing the state, NJ is quickly becoming a Third World toilet.
Costa Mesa tried to boot illegals out of taxpayer subsidized housing once, back in the days of Bush 41.
But good old “conservative” HUD Secretary Jack Kemp flew out and threatened Costa Mesa if they dared to kick out the illegals.
That was a wake-up call for me as to just how bad the GOP establishment really is. They will help foreign nationals steal tax money from Americans and threaten Americans who want those illegals deported.
Time for a flat tax or Fair Tax. Even drug dealers spend money as do these ILLEGALS. There is a whole underground economy that does not pay income tax or social security taxes.
