Dumb rich folks ruining welfare for other rich folks!

 

[nickbits]

You can't eat a yacht

 

[Pantoot]

And they drove a Lexus! Not just any Lexus, a $30,000 Lexus!
The opulence!

 

[Incorruptible]

Just another reason to cut welfare. They need to be locked up for this.

 

[davmat787]

Even these low end yachts are largely made in China now too.

these are not the people that the welfare system would use as the poster boy for their institute.

these people took advantage of a system that people use to stay afloat while in a crappy situation.

It's another case of welfare abuse, Why are you defending the system?

No I am not Bill O'Reilly. What does he have to do with this?

Hardworking taxpayers are forced to pay for these programs.

all systems are able to be abused. that is no reason to get rid of them.

how does that fix the system?

 

[Fern]

From what I've seen:

1. They've been arrested and are being held in FL. (I guess they may be extradited.)

2. The yacht was repossessed by the Coast Guard for nonpayment back in 2005.

So besides some simple minded "kill all welfare" response. How about a constructive suggestion as to how to make it completely "abuse" proof?

And people who abuse the system should be punished.

Welfare should be ended. You're taking money from hardworking taxpayers to give to them to buy votes.

I don't believe you, whenever people want to stop welfare abuse the liberals come out in full force and are against it.

 

[Zaap]

these people took advantage of a system...

...that plenty of other people are taking advantage of too because govt nitwits tossing around piles of other people's money rarely bother to check where a lot of it actually ends up.

You can never get beyond the most simple responded responses. You must be a script.

 

[Genx87]

Meh hard for me to feel bad for the state of MN when it just gave 500 million in welfare to a billionaire so he can make more money.

 

[Incorruptible]

No, I offered my thoughts and you didn't like them, not my fault.

 

[brycejones]

Well that's one of your most mature responses in months.....Must be a defect in the script.

 

[Incorruptible]

Not a bot.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Not a bot.

Only a bot would say that.

 

[WelshBloke]

.

Why are you attacking the system not the people taking advantage of it?

Why are you defending these people?

 

[Incorruptible]

Why are you attacking the system not the people taking advantage of it?

Why are you defending these people?

I attack BOTH of them.

Incorruptible is probably the sort of idiot who believes that every person on welfare is a scrounger, and that getting rid of welfare would result in 100% employment (or near 100%). No crime (ie. due to need and not greed) whatsoever because everyone then has a job and can afford to feed themselves. No homeless either, except those who want to be of course (some people are just weird, right?). Everyone is well enough to work. There are enough suitable jobs for everyone as well.

WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING HERE? GET BACK TO WORK!

WelshBloke - did you honestly expect to get a straight answer to your question?

Idiot? Really? You resort to insults because you have nothing.

Welfare is a waste of tax dollars and they have no right to other peoples money. You're a big government liberal so of course you defend the program since you use it to buy votes. You're a pathetic excuse for a human being.

 

[mikeymikec]

Only an idiot would come out with something like "scrap welfare" without coming up with a viable alternative. You may as well suggest scrapping emergency services because it sounds just as sensible.

I put forward a number of reasons why scrapping welfare would be a bad idea, it's you who has nothing to aid your point. It sounds like you don't even know what welfare is for, and you're spouting something that the Daily Mail would because that's the sort of crap you believe.

I provided reasons. You have no right to other peoples money.

Incorruptible seems to be very obtuse in many ways, just from the short time I've even been here.
