I just remembered what the FLDS call it! Bleeding the Beast! Any thoughts about that? I resent it & so do many people.

That has been proven to be a complete hoax. You resent something that doesn't exist.

Facts don't fit claims of FLDS welfare fraud http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2159063/posts

BS. If you read my post I said maybe not on that YFZ ranch. I am told that place supported itself. However many other FLDS places don't. I've seen news shows where it is clearly shown how the mothers live & that they do get welfare. I believe the info from Rick Ross over yours. I do read other sites, lol.

Hildale -- Welfare is often how polygamist communities like Hildale in Utah and Colorado City in Arizona substantially support themselves. Polygamists often use food stamps to feed their families. Former polygamist Benjamin Bisline said, "If it wasn't for government subsidies, these people couldn't survive. There are people here with 15 wives on welfare.'' Bisline still lives in a polygamist town.

According to federal paperwork, Colorado City is filled largely with unwed mothers without any visible spousal support. But Beagley said this has become a polygamist tradition, so that no proof exists of their many marriages through public records. Husbands marry only once in a civil ceremony. Other subsequent marriages are done "spiritually, but not legally. Beagley concluded, "It's a way of life. You get married, you go on welfare, and that's it.''

Are you FLDS perhaps?

Thanks for your comments. It is so amazing to me that so-called conservatives on this site would defend a military-type assault on a religious community, rounding up the kids at gunpoint, spitting all over the Constitution. You are right; it boggles the mind.
