quoted 4 truth [and both posts should have more stars ]
funny how the tax slaves keep on insisting that it's "their money".
after they've handed it over to the gangsters for "Protection" *COUGH* I mean, paid their taxes.
to the grasping "my money" crowd :
Don't like it?
grow a pair and STOP paying taxes then.
simples.
of course, when these "folk" speak of freedom it's freedom to oppress and exploit those beneath them

While I see your point that it's fraud, I have to see the other side as well.
People in Haiti are much more in need in many cases. I have to say that if I were in their shoes and found a way to feed my family like this I would do it.

Someday in the near future someone will deem you worthless. Or has that already happened?
Have a cracker on me.

natural selection is animalistic, and although your body is mammalian, your intellect is not. there is no reason, when you have been taught to see the light of reason, compassion and civilization, to neglect those less fortunate based on the law of the jungle. you are not a beast. you're a human being.

I appreciate the analogy, but I don't feel the same way that you do. Once you're an adult, its up to you to make your own life. I grew up in borderline poverty where my parents lost our family home when I was in HS and I had to live through that,. I experienced family struggles and it didn't make me bitter towards the world, it motivated me, it pushed me to never have that happen to me. So, I paid my way through college, graduated with a 3.979 and got a job where I worked my a** off at. Its not impossible, many others are capable of doing just that.....Just because you're dealt a sh*tty hand, doesn't mean you can't make a great life for yourself.

I'm happy to help those who are trying to better themselves. Those who are looking for work, those who are trying to go back to school, etc. But I can't feel for those who actively try to cheat the system, essentially stealing from the hard working people of this world...

Wait a moment, isn't food stamps and welfare to help those that can not help themselves and their families?
Then obviously that those bad apples that are sending the tax payer dollars to feed families in their countries do not need any food stamps and welfare because if they do not need it to feed their own families here in the US.
Plain and simple, get them off my tax payer money, hell what is wrong with this nation immigrants.
