Welfare money isn’t taxed because its not “income.”

WTF?

If it was called "income," the "poor" wouldn't be "poor."

If they aren't "poor," they lose some of their political utility vis-à-vis power to produce guilt among "the rich," which are mostly "people who support themselves by working."

They would still have very significant political value as reliable left-wing voters, obviously.

There was a huge influx of ‘check into cash’ places when the illegals came near here. Also WU points.

That is my understanding also. Thus the scam of “one entitlement begets more.”

Section 8 vouchers are doled out for rentals where the government contributes MOST of the rent and the tenant usually only has to pay an amount equal to about 25% of their disposable income. Welfare payments are not part of the income calculation. So, as in cases I’ve seen, rents over $1000 require only about $50 from the tenant and many of them don’t end up paying that and get evicted after a long process.
