It’s pretty simple, I see it with the retirees that I help. If you have money, put it into your children’s name(s), then get onto a waiver program for section 8 housing. Wait your turn, and you’ll pay only 300.00 a month for a nice 1 bedroom apartment. You’ll be able to deduct your medical prescriptions from your rent as well. When you need cash, call your kids and have them bring it to you.

Or imagine if say 60 million people just all of a sudden went and applied for everything they could even if they weren’t “qualified”. Food Stamps, Obama phones, Housing, SSI, heck even Social Security. That in itself might gum up the system.

"What all the freebies have in common is that there is a *lot* of time and paperwork involved in getting and keeping them, including a lot of time spent dealing with overworked and sometimes unpleasant bureaucrats - I’ve been poor, and I’ve been “middle class”, and believe it to not, “being poor is one of the toughest jobs in America” - it wastes *huge* amount of time and energy just to stay afloat"

Hmmm? Interesting? So if this is true .... it makes more sense as to why people would vote for the party of "free stuff" ... If being poor is a "tough job", why would anyone vote against their job and lose it??

... sad, but enlightening... **sigh**
