If the money runs out,just dance on over to the welfare office and announce..."I's back,now hand over the Benjamins".
I'd like to introduce her to my friend Jesus Martinez, because if they get married she can claim, "I was a Drinkard, until I met Jesus."
Why did she move and who paid for it?
The extreme cynic in me is thinking that she's already beaten and abused the car to the point that it -is- a beater.
One requirement for wealth that we all take for granted is responsible care & management of our possessions, and it seems a lot of poor people simply lack this concept entirely. Just ask my relatives who were landlords to low income housing.
She could prolly Buy a home in Nacadoches for 40K. At that point a walmart job would probably be enough to keep her going
They will also be getting free HDTV converters soon.
That's presuming a great deal. No such individual was mentioned in the article, and cannot be proved to exist any more than Harvey the rabbit.
"I either have to sell the car and not have any transportation or just live off what we're living off of, which is like rice, basically, we have rice."
And what is this stay at home Mother using for gas money? She can't afford to buy food FGS!
sw
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
It makes perfect sense to me, too. Waaaahhhhh.
She's also gonna be extra p*$$ed when the IRS comes after her for $10,000 in taxes on her 'income' of $40,000. Just like those Oprah studio fans found when she 'gave' them all new cars a year ago.
So when she sells that car she better keep $10K handy for the tax man.
I see it all the time.
Our poor are some of the most well off people in the world.
Fat and lazy, wathing one of 2 tvs and playin xbox while munching on delivered pizza.
I feel sorry for them they are paralysed with gubmint hand outs, and it is a miserable existence in that it has no honor
We have a family in a Habitat house on our street. The father in his 20's, doesn't work. Looks able bodied to me. He now wants to raise goats in his yard for tax abatement and yesterday I noticed his has a satellite dish.
Something is wrong with this picture.
And I know many single mom's on welfare that play the lottery regularly. Charity needs to come from the family or a religious community, the Gov't doesn't know WHO or WHEN. Andrew Carnegie said Money could sometimes help the poor, but many times HURT them.
Well, now she has a car to go to find a job and go to work.
35 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Dawgs, sic em!!!!
A job would cut into the time she spends online entering contests.
Winning the car is already considered income. She wouldn't be taxed twice on that. But a sales tax may be in order.
How can this welfare mama afford a computer??
Whadda ya want to bet the two girls don't have the same daddy??
as in all things financial, we must consider the tax consequences of every transaction.
If she's on welfare welfare and sells the car does the gain mean she will lose her earned income tax credit?
