Not surprised but what are they going to do about it?.
 
Are you surprised? Isn't it sad that people with jobs (maybe not great ones) still need assistance. If my suspicions are correct, 35% legitimetly need the extra $.
 
ha ha I wouldn't know anything about food stamps but you sure know enough...does welfare pay for your internet too?

not a clue

but thank you for asking.........As I recall when did CATV welfare recipients would welcome us with open arms. Often they had the best and newest TV from the rent to own place. But it was never include in their rent.

I know this because I owned several low income properties.

yes papa and I'm sure you did your citizen duty and snitch them out...so what? a welfare recipient got a RENT TO OWN TV?
 
Sad, really sad but if they are making less than $500 a week I really can't say I blame them.

Of course not. You keep suing and then settle out of court with innocent victims.

don't talk about stuff you know nothing about...I was run over by a car and seriously injured. I have scars and lost a tooth for life. I didn't have to sue I was insured. Last time I checked that's why it's mandatory to have insurance, in case of accidents. So stop spewing your bullshit.
