look at the EIC...my husbands niece did not work when her 3 kids were born...her husband earned fabulous money...
then divorce...
get got a healthy alimony check for several years and child care payments...
so now, she lives with her parents with her kids in a smallish house, and the grandparents are helping all they can....
she made less than 20 grand last year...not including her child care payments....and she'll get $8000 back from her income taxes.....when she found that out, she called in sick 2 out of the next 3 days...
we're fools apparently....
we've made it easy for these younger people to game the system...you can believe that many of them plan life events around how much EIC they'll get or how much free money or benefits they'll get...
There have always been people who have sponged off their parents, and there have always been those who have sponged off the government (the taxpayer, that is), when the government was stupid enough to offer “spongeable” things.
But it’s just that this is now becoming so generalized, affecting blacks and whites alike. Believe me, I live in the South, and the rural whites around me are virtually all on the dole, which they supplement by sticking up the local 7-11 and killing the poor, hardworking clerk, usually an older woman. And these people, black or white, somehow feel “justified” in their “culture.”
That’s what the real problem is. Listen to any rap song that you hear coming out of a beat-up pick-up truck driven by a shaven-head white boy, and you’ll hear their life story. Drugs, money, welfare, rape, violence, and it’s all cool because Hollywood and Obama love it.
