Welfare fraud at its finest...
Before you go filling up the comment box with racial slurs, know that all will be removed. Speak your mind, but name-calling is not going to solve anything. One case of someone of color is not representative of that entire race. Not all blacks are ghetto, not all whites are stuck-up idiots. Hispanics don't all work in fields, and not every Asian is uber-smart.
This is not a racial issue. It is a criminal issue, and fraud comes in all shapes, sizes, colors and economics. The rich steal as much as the poor, they just aren't caught as often. Crime is never black nor white, it is streaked with color that mars this country with a distorted rainbow cast over our red, white and blue skies.
It is not a political issue either. President Obama did not create this problem - Duane Brooks Jr is not a product of President Obama's administration. He is obviously older than that, so get off your racist high horse and look at this for what it is - someone who skates through life on our tax dollars. This has been going on for decades. Student aid, rent subsidies, government assistance for children, food stamps. The worst of any of them is disability payouts.
It is tragic how easily that has become a scam. I am diabetic, and can barely walk most days because of an injury to my back/leg, but I work - I may be limited in my work, but I do not receive any kind of aid because, as my doctor said, "Anyone who can still move is capable of some kind of work." Too many people think a broken fingernail is cause enough to prevent them from earning a paycheck, or too many family members are being paid to raise their own blood.
My husband has paid as much as fifty percent of his paychecks to taxes that go to everyone else, but little ever trickled down to us. Our local police force has been cut to where they are no longer effective. Our insurance has skyrocketed. Our roads are garbage. We don't get aid in any form from anyone, so what are we paying for? We're paying for others to do their jobs, but they can't even manage that.
I have lost long-standing friendships because I disagree with the way they live off of our government, and everyone else's paychecks. That aid is not meant to keep kids in the latest video games, to pay for cars and vacations and pricey meals. It is not meant to bail one out of a mistake of a marriage. It's most certainly not meant to keep one from marrying because their significant other is named their 'caretaker' - marriage would kill that benefit.
This may just be one case featured on Judge Judy's show, but these are actual cases that, while they get the 'star treatment' on television, it happenes in cities and counties and states all across the US.

If the government would stop interfering in everyone's lives, we would be a richer country today. Stop telling people what to eat, drink, when to wipe our own asses. Frankly, the toilet paper in my bathroom is worth more than the paper the laws are written on. The strong shall survive, and and those who don't, it's the Darwin Theory in effect.
If our government would stop enabling our citizens by making us all more self-sufficient, we soud be a richer country today. This requires our participation as Americans to report those crimes we see - we need to not turn a blind eye as we are so prone to doing.
Let us take part in returning our nation to what it was by strengthening from within, not climbing on top of each other to bring ourselves down.
Welfare reform is GREATLY needed. Along with Food Stamps... but, there are those who DO DESERVE the support.... Mine would be a case in point.... I worked for well over 30 years and was attacked on the job by a intruder in the building I was working..... After being told 15 years earlier that I should go on disability due to numerous health problems which are the result of the attack..... I refused and continued for another 12 years of struggling to maintain a job.... I have always had very good, highly technical jobs... made good money and paid in over 10,000 a year in Social Security, Medicare and taxes ... NOW I have to worry about my families survival... All savings have been exhausted due to maintaining my health....
ReplyDeleteWhy should people like myself, lose everything because others commit fraud against the system. I paid for my disability social security and medicare for YEARS... why it it right to take MY MONEY, I was FORCED to pay in..... because politicians spent money that was NOT theirs to spend. With my current Social security payments, it would take me another 50 years to be able to even get PART of the money that was taken from me for this EXACT purpose.
Wouldn't it make sense to SAVE for your future in case of disability? I see you writing about having very good, technical employment... But nothing regarding how you put any of that money aside in case someting like this happened. It's hypocritical how you can shout support for entitlement reform, but nonchalantly state that you are one of the few who DESERVE.
DeleteActually, that's not true. The above very clearly states: "All savings have been exhausted due to maintaining my health.... "
DeleteThere are many who did the right thing, saved for retirement or a rainy day, but one health crisis can wipe it all away. It's tragic. Then you have people like the idiot in the video who worked hardly a day in his life, but is coasting on the gov't and everyone else.
So, read carefully before calling someone out.
This Piece of Shit needs to be up on fraud charges, grand theft... end of story... we need to support people on the bottom to help them move up to next rung or we simply end up in a caste system... This guy needs to be sterilized and thrown in prison for his actions but that does not mean you eliminate social programs to help the poor or uneducated. I would like to see the person who approved that education and loan plan fired too... that is not a real job he is training for...sorry Z Scum, you ain't gonna be a rap star
ReplyDeletethe governmeent is ENABLING retards like this. when the hell are they gonna wake up? oh.... wait... I just remembered, they are so out of touch with reality because they all live up in their ivory towers... damn.
ReplyDeleteThis isn't a surprise. And I'd think it's more of a rule than an exception. I've seen Access cards for sale on CraigsList. I've contacted these ads, gotten their information - phone numbers, addresses - and reported to the fraud department on the Pennsylvania state site. I've never gotten one call back asking for further information, for papers to verify or sign... not a peep. Government enables this in order for bureaucrats and pen pushers to keep their pointless jobs.
ReplyDeleteI agree Gal, welfare abuse is something I have complained about for many years. It is people of many colors who do it. It has to stop, as it is our government is top heavy and has an insatiable desire to spend money. Welfare programs are ladened with fraud that needs to be stopped so those that actually do need it can get it. Welfare is not always a 'Hand out' but can be a 'Hand up' for those with kids that are having a very tough time due to job loss, an injury, or even a divorce so they can support their kids. If they don't stop the fraud there will be nothing there for those that are in need of help.
