Family of 6 - that explains it. Not the kids fault your couldn't keep your pecker in your pants or she couldn't keep her legs closed. Oh no.. always someone elses fault.

33k take home with 6 kids. Sounds like a welfare scam which Clinton tackled in the 90's.
 Quoting: preacher101


The internet is so funny, people get to say things they wouldn't dare say to anothers face and act all pomp and bluster about it. I have plenty of guns too simian. Besides, my kids don't suffer, with tax benefits and foodstamps, financial aid, free medical care, we clear over 50k a year with benefits on my 33k salary. It's idiots like yourself who thought they had so much money and ruined the economy by abusing credit that has increased inflation to make it so a family can't survive on a single income, so no apologies here, besides, as stated I'm reclaiming my own families money, mmmmm I just bought all kinds of fancy frozen food too, gonna live it up like the king I am. You are welcome to amend it if you are able internet coward. Take away bread and circus and you will see blood in the streets so keep wishing. ohh, and back to the original point, it's public servants like myself that protect your way of life, so I'll live it up even more doing the selfless job I do while you serve only yourself.

ummm Thats what I am saying, you people want them to revoke foodstamps but you don't seem to realize, because you lack critical thinking, that you will suddenly have millions of desperate people with nothing to lose. I'm all for forcing people that are unemployed or underemployed on benefits to work on civil projects. I am overemployed and because baby boomers sat by while our freedom and opportunity was stolen, I get benefits even being overemployed.

The investor class can find a loophole to not pay taxes on sums of money even in the millions and no one complains loudly.

But someone needing food to survive gets trashed as if they are thieves while the real thieves sit behind their desks and scheme.

Face it - you made bad life choices and now everyone has to pay and suffer for it. No biggie there - just admit it and move on to then asking for help. Nobody's perfect. We all make mistakes. Rather than bash those who realize you made mistakes admit them and then others will be more helpful.

Help - is not a 'right' or a 'law'. As a first responder you chose a line of work which makes you lawfully bound to help. All others do not have to.

Humble pie is not so bad, ate some myself recently and saw the err of my ways. Amazing how others helped after that. As for you? C'mon maaannnn.. (Joe Biden style).. get real.. 4 kids? REALLY?? Shows poor judgement to make them suffer too.

Alas - EBT is back up in most areas so this thread will move to the dustbin of glp archives within hours.

Funny how those who can't get anyone to breed with them have opinions of those who have. Let me ask you something, can I go out on federal land and start growing food to my hearts content? Nope, some jackboot will come tell me to shove off, thus I have been robbed of my claim to a piece of the earth on which I dwell, and you all have too!, property tax puts ownership of all land in the govt's hands and you merely lease it from them. My children don't suffer at all, they have loads of extracurricular activities. The assistance I get is more than covered by the taxes my parents and grandparents pay by force and unconstitutionally, so your claim that you are pitching in for me is false, in fact I haven't even had enough children to replace all those living in my family tree. The real point is you rubes are letting the landed elite turn you all against each other with divisionist tactics.

Of course it's easy to see that you are avoiding all these points that I have made previously because your arguments are flawed, and it is the losers path to ignore previous statements and just press on trying to drown your opponent in fresh nonsense.

When a valid point is made an answer follows. Sounded like whining for the most part.

Land - when the USA gave away land to settlers it was theirs for the taking. After that the ever-so-large government started to tax anything they could for revenue. Nobody 'leases' the land - you are seriously delusional to see that as a 'lease'. Tax on property is a requirement by government and a function to keep local government funded. Don't pay they take it to collect their tax. If you want to live free then stop paying taxes and watch what our corrupt government will do to you. Get over yourself.

While I do not approve of the Fed doing what they do by devaluing our currency rather than force us to live within our means, you can thank the Progressive Demoncrats for the Fed existence. Go back 100 years and see how the Fed came to be. Again, get over your 'forced taxes' crap and pay your share like everyone else. According to our anointed one you have it far better than those in Kenya.

Personally I feel that IF one can help someone - then do. Problem is our government FORCES money from us to pay for those who make bad choices then there is no consequences for our actions. You have a lot of internal rage going on to be so angry at a system which allows you to work 56 hours a week and have a life. Many others are not so lucky. How ungrateful you are.

I agree - losers like you who claim victim status yet plunder our system daily.. How sad to live like that. Perhaps you should look at working on your own problems first and become a better person first before expecting others to feel sorry for you when you clearly have it better than most. FO dirtbag.

Just read the last page and wanted to add. If you are on any type of public assistance work is a requirement. If for whatever reason you cannot work they send you to a Doctor to confirm so it's not like your Dr. buddy can put in a good word for you.

If deemed eligible to work people go to Westhab and are either trained or placed in a job.

The delusion is yours my friend, if you "own" something, it cannot be taken away from you, nor do you have to continue to make payments on it. Your'e right, you don't sign a lease for it, the lease is forced on you at gunpoint, and because you are to lazy to fight for freedom no one will ever own land again except for the landed elite, good job buddy!

I already explained to you that your apathetic attitude about the corrupt federal judiciary violating the constitution, allowing case law to take the place of the supreme law is the problem, yet your cowardly, lazy, unpatriotic self says, :hey get over it, try to see what happens when you try not to pay the unconstitutional tax and see what happens:. You are even addmitting that the govt. doing this is corrupt so what is the problem? It's your angry little red face about foodstamps that is misdirected.

A system that "lets" me work 56 hours a week, yet you are the same sort of ignorant that would say "a job is a privledge not a right". I already said, no one wants a slave wage job sir, making me bow down to my rich boss, the govt. has taxed, regulated, and licensed fee'd opportunity away from the common people and not just the democratic party you blind party politic following sheep. All parties, all government.

Ohh you are so right I am such a bad person, choosing to spend my time taking care of the sick and elderly, that other richer, more important people like yourself have abandoned to group home herd care so they can get on about the business of making money, you are such a better human for that. Ohh but the nursing home model provides so many more underpayed jobs, so thats awesome, especially when said owners of nursing homes and ambulances take home millions for themselves, while draining medicare. What a great system that is! But a, led by the nose, conservative like your self would say "thats just good business". Ohh and while doing said thankless job, I should limit the number of children I have, cause good fiscal credit wielding americans like yourself have caused huge inflation. I know all about the federal reserve and it is a problem, but nowhere near the problem you all created with your out of control credit abuse, inflation is because of that, divert blame to the fed to avoid taking responsiblity all you want. I haven't been in debt a day in my life. The point being that abuse of credit and subsequent inflation by the good tax paying middle class has destroyed the nuclear family and made the single income family without assistance a thing of the past. And that is why I will never apologize for foodstamps, nor the number of children I choose to have. Nor, will I ever thank a useless rube like yourself, I thank my parents and grandparents regularly for it. I take as much as they give, never ask for more nor complain if it is reduced. I didn't care less about it being down for a day and think people threatening to riot over it were as ridiculous as you did. Removing it completely will give you millions of people with nothing to lose so if you want anarchy and civil war keep wishing for it. It was only your blind ignorant hate that brought me into this debate at all.

Furthermore, I have a 4.0 college GPA, I could easily go back to school and get a higher paying career, I choose to live a life of sacrifice and put up with intolerant misguided hate like yours because it is the godly thing to do. So thank you for bringing me full circle and illuminating what I opened with, that your police, fireman, and ambulance personnel get this benefit, soldiers too, so continue to cry all you want about it while we protect you.

P.S. If only you could slander my wife to my face so I could quit you of it straight.

I don't think you'll find too many ppl with half a million dollars punkin you off for a few obama bux.. but I do agree that ppl need to be prepared for the next round of cutbacks, what seems to be secure today could be wiped out & picked clean over night.

An entire tax bracket of ppl has been wiped out & what little they had has been redistributed to upper management.. pension plans, 401's, RSP's, RRSP's any mechanism that was once trumpeted as a middle class safe haven is now gone.

Genocide by pen.. every one needs to gather and hold onto what little they have left. I'm not saying there isn't any one person out there abusing the system. I'm saying every one is out there using what ever loophole they can find to compensate for all that's been redistributed in the last few years.. you can't take 50 trillion dollars out of an economy & expect everything to keep humming along like nothing happened.

Just read the last page and wanted to add. If you are on any type of public assistance work is a requirement. If for whatever reason you cannot work they send you to a Doctor to confirm so it's not like your Dr. buddy can put in a good word for you.

If deemed eligible to work people go to Westhab and are either trained or placed in a job.

Re: EBT down in NY...anyone else? (& PA & NJ)
Went to pick up some groceries and was told that the system is down so no food stamp usage for now.

Don't know if Chase is having problems or what?

And before anyone calls me a useless eater I've worked all my life and am having some health issues that are preventing me from working right not..but not forever.

Haven't been on it long so don't know is this is unusual or not.

You have Internet but no food? Prioritize much?

First off. Where did the half of you learn to read?
She has stated that she is on assistance TEMPORARILY.
Second she stated she is using somebody elses computer.

Welfare is in place for people that have a temporary need like her. Just because there are thousands of low life losers that abuse it, do not take it out on the few that HAVE paid into it and came across needing it for a time being.

I myself had to get food stamps at one point in my life for 3 months after leaving an abusive marriage and getting myself on my feet with my 2 small children. and YES I paid into it for years as well!
Karma is patient! You may never need welfare but one day something will happen when you need SOMETHING and your hatefulness and idiotic small mindset will come back to bite you! whatever
