It has got to stop. More than likely, they are also on the earned income tax credit too.
I pay for half my medical and my wife works, pays for part of hers and pays for her married daughters health and car insurance and helps out with her expenses. We are not having a tough time getting by yet we have to watch the frills. Our cars are 12 and 10 years of age yet we make a decent income. I look around and see all these benefits being lavished upon “the poor” and I believe that when evaluated, their total compensation package is higher than ours. I want to puke because I am tired of pulling the wagon.
My husband and I are poor, and strive to just pay for stuff we have to have like utilities and insurance. My husband has no health insurance and is not eligible for anything; plus he’s unemployed now and I’m disabled. We don’t eat out, go to movies, take vacations or have a new car. We make due with what God provides as He has ALWAYS taken care of us somehow...
But you’re right; it has to stop...even her kids know it isn’t right and I’ve explained to them that they aren’t getting ‘free stuff’...they are slowly learning what taxes are and who really pays for their “free lunch”.
The kids ALL have cell phones and MP3 players and one has his own laptop and IPod; all their furniture and their brand new 42”HDTV are from Rent-A-Center...nice, huh?
