The public has not responded kindly to the mother of two.
But, but, she's a single mother - she's a victim. Oooooh, the humanity!

No matter how much money a fool obtains, the fool will, eventually, lose it all.

Exhibit A: Mike Tyson.

Whatever happened to homeless people? There don’t seek to be any in this recession...

It’s time we personalize government incompetence by taking stories like this, viral.

Let’s beat the Alinskyites at their own game.

“I feel that it’s okay [to receive welfare] because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay. I have two houses,” she told reporters. “

I be ENTITLED, DAMMIT!!

The worst thing you can do, if your income is inadequate, is buy a house if you’ve only won 1 million dollars.

I figure the best way to see what kind of life I could win, is expect myself to live until I’m 90, even though I probably won’t and divide my lottery prize by the years I have left.

In my current situation, I could either add about 20 grand a year to my current income. Not enough to buy a house, but it would give me a better apartment. I’d probably also return to school and stay there until something is achieved, however long it took.

But not enough to own a house.

I can’t afford to pay for this s-it.

I can’t wait until the economy goes completely underground. That will be fun.

I have two houses," she told reporters.

Yes, one of which you bought with your lottery winnings.

I’m glad she’s white so no one can say we are racist. This is typical of the shape Amerika is in today. Even my own mother argues issues I try to talk to her about. The Kommunists have truly taken over the world.

This woman is truly poor, but that is not a surprise anymore. The entitlement mentality is very destructive to individuals.

Being broke is a temporary financial situation, being poor is a state of mind!

The State needs to give this woman a choice; significant jail time for fraud or give up one of her two homes to the State and NEVER be eligible for financial assistance again. Until we start aggressively punishing the abuses, they will only increase.

I think food stamps are income tested only, not asset tested. So she could “invest” in assets and still be on the dole.

Better she purchased a house, rather than blow it on parties.

Better still if she signed up for an annuity of say 40K per year.

It seems that as long as they exist means-tested social service programs should have maximum asset restrictions as well as maximum income restrictions.

(For my own part, if we as a society really want the state to provide income support, we should take Milton Friedman’s advice, shut down all “poverty programs” with their bureaucratic overhead and perverse incentivization of poverty, and pay everyone a stipend, which is then taxable income, and tweak the tax code so everyone is back on the tax rolls. I’d pick the stipend level so that if everyone over 16 years of age in a household held down a half-time minimum wage job the household would just barely top the poverty line.)
