NY lottery winner charged with welfare fraud

Try,,,,,, While I understand your point about the right of choice, there is one area in your 2nd sentence that does create a major opposition to your point of view......"Nobody tells you how to spend your money when you are grocery shopping"........The difference being is I have earned the money and it is all mine to spend it as how I see fit. It was not a benefit from other taxpayers that is set up purposely to purchase quality, necessary food items.....
      People aren't harping about the needy receiving of food stamps. They are complaining about the food stamps being used to purchase items that aren't necessary to exist. Thus the complaints about, "how many cases of soft drinks a person buys". Because soft drinks aren't a necessity. They never have been nor will they ever be.
      "All in all I think it is just jealousy because their asses make too much to receive government assistance".....Its not a jealousy issue, its a valid complaint that purchasing unnecessary items for general living is NOT what the program was designed for...........
  This article was written about a sneak trying to cheat the system because he was being a greedy individual, instead of someone who actually needed the help.

Well said, sully.

Graft and corruption don't bother the left at all.

It's their lifeblood. It's expected. It's demanded.

They love the crooks because they are the crooks. 

And they hate our military with a passion.

A lot of the food banks here are in dire straights.  They are giving at their max capacity and sometimes it is still not enough.  I think if there were more jobs, then so many wouldn't be on public assistance.  People who lost jobs during the past 3 years are still not completely back.  We need industries that can compete with the garbage that China is dumping in America.  Welfare cheats are bad but SSI cheaters are the worse of the lot.  I know whole families drawing SSI.

Teacher unions don't get any money for the union from the taxpayers.  It is member supported.  A teacher's salary is what comes from local and state government and is based upon their criteria.  So if a teacher wants to support the union, they pay their dues every month out of their paycheck.

  People don't seem to care if the welfare cheats are robbing us taxpayers blind.Wefare isn't money from heaven,it's from the taxes that WORKING PEOPLE pay to help those that are less fortunate than us.Don't let the welfare cheats keep ripping off the hand that feeds them,send them to prison where they belong!

Wouldn't throwing them in prison cost even more money than they're already losing?  And our prisons are overcrowded as it is... hardened criminals being turned out into the streets because the government insists upon locking up non-violent pot smokers...

What difference does it make how many cases of soft drinks a person buys with THEIR EBT BENEFITS. Nobody tells you how to spend your money when you are grocery shopping... I am so tired of hearing people harp on folks because they receive food stamps. Somebody had to help your ass at one time. All in all I think it is just jealousy because their asses make too much to receive government assistance. I know I probably will get a lot of back lash for this comment but who cares! Bring it on Troll!!
