YART: welfare recipiant has a Scion TC???

[m2kewl]

my friend is a lowly paid (his fault for majoring in Liberal Arts in college ) social worker who screens applicants for welfare (Public Assistance for you PC whores).

so anyway, he's got this applicant. woman in her late 30's attempting to renew for the FOURTH year, with HS GED aka 'Good enough diploma', no listed job history, four kids, teens. can't even hold one single job. she claims she and her husband are sick, provides medical excuses.

yet listed part of their assets is a new Scion TC?!?!?!? WTH WTF??? can our welfare system go any more wrong??? :|

/rant


edit: Poll added!
edit: blueweasel - i fvcked up the question on the poll. updated.
edit: no i can't provide pics! :| that would get people fired!!

 

[FoBoT]

yes, the poor people in america are fat and drive cars and have HDTV , this is true

 

[Juice Box]

Scions are very reasonably priced cars....and it may have been a gift or a prize...you dont know and cant pass judgement till you know how she got it.

Bothersome, but not all that bad since the TC is an economy car.

Come back when you have seen the ones in luxury cars.

*stamp* Denied. *stamp*

And um, I've seen welfare recepients driving Beamers and Mercedes. (newer style) a tC is a drop in the bucket.

lol.......

Well, what do you expect? They've gotta be able to transport their drugs somehow. May as well go for the bling bling?

Although... they're right.

They may as well have a new Honda Civic or Toyota Camry. You probably wouldn't have even noticed then.. Well, maybe.

Exactly. A tC costs $16k so it's hardly extravagant.

Two of my tenants receive welfare.

One drives a Cadillac with a $5k+ paintjob and however-expensive 20", chrome, spinning wheels and a GMC Sierra. The other just bought a new Acura MDX to complement their late model Isuzu Trooper.

edit: it isn't just about the welfare check. they also have Medicad has health benefits - THAT'S what killing the system. someone's gotta pay in the end.

Most prostitutes don't declare their income...

By her having 4 kids, she must be pretty good at it.

hey, if the gov't is going to give me free money, I'm not just going to turn it down...

Hey.. it's perfectly legal to grow produce & sell it roadside.

You know how much you can get for hydroponic tomatos in mid-winter?

 

[spacejamz]

I remember when I was sacking groceries, this older black woman (hope saying that doesn't make me a racist now)....would pay for her groceries with food stamps, but then pull out this huge wad of cash to pay for beer and cigarettes...

After loading all of her groceries in her new cadillac, she didn't even leave a tip (back then it was okay to tip the sackers who loaded your groceries into your car)....

 

[zendari]

If these people were really dirt poor they wouldnt have new cars. Disgusting cheaters. :|

Yeah. A Scion is actually a reasonable vehicle for a welfare recipient

Around here I've seen far nicer vehicles...

:thumbsup:

I work damn hard for everything I have in life and the only thing the gov't does is loan me money for college. Maybe I should try to get them to buy me a new car? :roll: Oh, nvm, I'm working 5 jobs to do that right now :|

WTF?....

No you aren't obligated to inform the city by law. Inform the city of what?! They have not done anything wrong. Geez.... Mind your own business.

Ugh. Innocent until proven guilty, remember?

you actually think it's free? you know YOUR taxes pay for their stuff.

 

[spacejamz]

funny how it is not suprising to see new BWM's, Benzes, $$$ SUV's that have been tricked out in front of houses that are barely standing up in the shadier parts of town...

granted, they all could belong to relatives from out of town that were visiting or something...

imho, if you have 5K to spend on a fvcking paintjob, you don't need to be on welfare :roll:

EDIT: you pay for it as well, doesn't that bother you?
