    It is amazing how well people lie to themselves.

    I don't know if they're lying to themselves. We have become such an entitlement society that a lot of people see nothing wrong with it.

    Classic member of what we call the FSA (free sh!t army).

    The .gov loves to steal from the productive in the form of insane taxes, fees and other looting methods, and hand out to the unproductive in the form of food stamps, section 8 housing, fee cell phones, free medical care, heating vouchers, etc.....this looting keeps the FSA happy and keeps them voting for more of the same.....this in turn keeps the looters in a position of power.....right where they want to be. One big happy cycle for everyone except for the productive.

    .gov = looter
    FAS = leach
    productive = wage slave

    If it makes you feel better she'll be broke in less than 5 years. I can almost guarantee it.

    Wait till the tax bill comes due on those two houses and car. Old, old story.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    The interviewer asked her what made her think she was entitled to food stamps, she says "I have bills too, 2 houses to take care of and a new car to maintain".BOO HOO!!! Michigan is looking at closing the loophole that allows this to go on in that state. Indiana you cannot have any type of major income or major assets to collect foodstamps.

    The food stamp program, part of the Department of Agriculture, is now distributing the greatest amount of food stamps ever.


    Meanwhile, the Park Service, also part of the Department of Agriculture, asks us to "please do not feed the animals" because the animals may grow dependent and not learn to take care of themselves

    Last week I was at a store and a guy and his wife were paying with there link card (Foodstamp) and the card was 30 or 40 cents short so they were asking people for change. after a couple minutes they got the change and paid. Then they went strait to the lottery machine and bought scratch offs. What a joke. Cant afford food but can buy lottery tickets.
