There was an article posted here last week about Section 8 housing.

An MIT graduate (no joke), was lamenting that people in the apartment complex where he lived who were on Section 8 had it much better off than he did. Their rent was fully paid, and they did not hold jobs.

He asked "Where is the incentive to work?"

Welcome to ObamaLand.

Seems to me that there are two ways to deal with this. Lottery or eliminate it altogether.

Well, at least we can rest assured that 4000 of THE BARACK won’t be moving into our neighborhoods any time soon. Now we only have to worry about the 1000 and devaluation of our homes, debasing and druggifying our high schools, and having to hire more cops to patrol at night.

The left knows that the producers will continue to work and start businesses. The left knows that the producers have self-esteem, and would never take a handout.

The left knows that the slackers have no self-esteem, and will not work or start businesses. The left knows that they will vote democrat.

The left knows that the producers are not going to go out in the streets and set fires and throw stones at cops.

The left knows that the slackers will riot in the streets if their free money, apartments and cell phones are taken away.

This “section 8” is just one example of the massive transfer of money from the producers to the slackers. Not just the rent. The crime and loss of quality of life. The added police protection.

There are many other ways that money is taken from the industrious and given to the slothful.

Police say, when the time came for the vouchers to be distributed, there was a mad rush for the door. Officers tried to control the crowd, but couldn't.

LOL. Never get between a raging democrat hoard and "free stuff". You'll get stampeded.

Another from Louisiana the other day. Sounds somewhat calmer but there were fights.

Slavery comes in all forms, unfortunately there are people (black and white) who are slaves to the mentality of entitlement.

Liberalism has not helped them achieve the best of their potential, it has kept them chained to the government.

It is time to break the chains and be free from bondage called “entitlement”.

“”Section 8 Housing voucher distribution canceled after thousands waiting in line get out of control”

Good. I say fence them in, get the police out of there, and let them kill each other.

I'm reading more and more of these stories.

XYZ Government Office is handing out housing vouchers. They make a big announcement and put it in papers knowing they only have X number of vouchers. Then Voucher day comes and people panic and a ruckus/riot ensues.

Its like the government is engineering "incidents of civil unrest".

This concerns me greatly.

Best Comment at link, so far:

"This was intentionally done to create a crisis. The issuing of vouchers for section eight ought to be done by prior screening and appointments with housing authorities with applicants over time. This was a publicity stunt done by Government workers who wanted to make a statement."

Can’t spend a day filling out job applications, but they can spend DAYS standing in line for free s&*t. They all look like a bunch of animals. And what is it with these people and MALLS? You supposedly have no money, so you choose to spend your time walking around a place where the whole point of being there is to spend money. And if you have no money, isn’t it just torture to look at all the stuff you can’t afford? I only go to a mall if I have money to spend and am planning to buy something.

This is just the beginning. Imagine when there is no more money to redistribute and there is no law enforcement. The hordes will be unleashed on society to finish stealing, murdering and torturing anyone caught in their path. God help us.

Ever spent time in a Section 8 neighborhood? Any time people rent there's the chance they won't take care of the property like an owner would.

In Section 8 housing this effect is magnified as the people living there are takers/low info people and really don't give a damn.

For example, witness the trash and garbage the rabid mob left behind at the Section 8 disturbance:
