What is this statistic supposed to mean?

The minimum wage in the US is far below a living wage, so a lot of people who work full time still qualify for(and need) food stamps. Hell, some of these low wage employers are helping their employees sign up for food stamps and other social assistance programs.

So, are you implying that a lot of people in the US are lazy, or that a lot of large corporations are using these programs as corporate welfare to avoid paying their employees living wages?

If you want to increase the value of labor you should advocate for closure of the borders so the torrent of low skilled competition is reduced.

Are the gift credit card style?

Why lie? I am being starved by the CRA.

$34K in taxes will starve anyone.


If you pay 34k in taxes then I will call two faced hypocrite bull**** on you. I know the maximum tax rate in Canada and if you paid that in taxes then you are not hurting. As a matter of fact you are doing quite well. I didn't make 34k last year so f*ck you a$$hole.

Really it makes you a poser troll.

What's the correlation between working women and food stamp collectors? What am I missing here?

It's a simple equation:

Food stamp recipients > women working full time = Obama is a Kenyan Muslim socialist who wants to destroy America.

The more general form of the equation is:

Anything +/-/x///>/< anything = Obama is a Kenyan Muslim socialist who wants to destroy America.

I think the thesis is "because some people defraud the welfare system, the welfare system should be shut down."

Funny how that logic doesn't extend to the banking system.


No that is not the thesis unless that is your thesis which is pretty darned foolish if it is.


So... is that your thesis?

I never claimed that there was not a singe incident of fraud, I am simply saying that the story he told has some pretty glaring holes in it.


How so?


There are waaaaaay more than one incident. Those are just a few glaring ones.

To bad you don't have a real job eh ?
If you worked full time and didn't make $34,000.00 you better be entry level or else a new occupation is warranted . IMHO .

"The welfare system needs an overhaul. Federal, state, and local programmes need to be coordinated, standards need to be set to encourage work, payouts should reflect local cost of living, and anti-fraud protections need to be beefed up."

Oh they do! Don't expect a nice warm dinner waiting at home for you though.

Then what are you posting silly sh*t for?


Oh anyone who abhors welfare fraud and speaks out about it MUST also believe Obama is Kenyan. Good grief.

I don't think that , I know he is an incompetent person thrust into a position he is doomed to fail in , by a bunch of other incompetent people . Kenya has nothing to do with that .

You need to find a new job or go back to school. Did you only work six months or what? I have already made well over $35k this year and am just getting warmed up. Maybe you should move to Mass with Eagle and get some food stamps and sh*t.

LOL okay. Maybe we should go back to the 50's and the little woman can stay home. Problem solved :p

Now you're getting some good ideas! Of course we would have to deflate all the prices so a single income could afford to support the family too, but I think you may be onto something. ;-)

I wondered about that too. I wondered if the writer may have hoped to equate that woman working and welfare/handouts rates had been / sort of are near equal. There seemed a bit of an undertone to it but which side the undertone applauded or derided is unclear.

You are still getting it wrong....

Welfare fraud = Obama is Kenyan Muslim trying to destroy America
Abhorring welfare fraud = Obama is Kenyan Muslim trying to destroy America
Speaking out against welfare fraud = Obama is Kenyan Muslim trying to destroy America

Got it now. :lol:

I watched her pull it out of the envelope and tear the stub off. She was right across the street about 5 yards from me. I don't know if the bag was real Gucci or a knock-off but the Mercedes was real enough.

Obviously neither of us can prove anything here, so there isn't much point in bickering about this.

You can probably understand how unlikely it seems that you can spot welfare cheques from any distance, much less know who or what it is for, if this ever even happened in the first place.

It is probably better to stick to actual facts about the incidence of fraud.
