Explain to me how this is not living beyond YOUR means? Everything stated is relying on someone else to support that person. Thus, they have gone from living within their means, to encroachment into someone elses means through government assistance. Thus why I am a firm believer that if you want government assistance, you do some kind of work to help the government/a non-profit that will give you some type of dignity and job skills to make you more valuable in the market so you're not just sitting at home getting a check.Originally Posted by MurdaMilJoker
In reality some of these people are not living outside their means I mean if you think about it people on welfare actually have a very comfortable way of life you see where I live a mother of 2 can get $650 in TANF(Cash Assitance) she also qualifies for $527 in SNAP(Food stamps) and at the end of the year she can pay some hood +!% tax people to file some phony +!% taxes for her and get a return of about $5-$7k. Now do the math or I'll do it for you $650x12=$7800+$527x12=$6324+$7,000=$21,124/12=$1,760.33 a month. Now thats some pretty decent money for just sitting on your lazy +!% doing ++$@ don't get me wrong if I didn't love money so much I'd proly do the same thing. But now don't forget their expenses probably slim to none you see most people on welfare live in Section 8 apartments (low income housing), and probablly only pay around $10-$50 for rent and they probably on energy assistance as well so more than likely thats another $50-$75 so thats a total expenses of about $100-$125 dollars so a car not of about $300 is actually still living within their means.Not to mention she's probably getting money from baby daddy or other tricks so she can get her hair did and look proper for the next trick or sucker out there. Thats why I always look for me a dumb !%% around tax time so I get some of that $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
