“voting” is the key word here. It completes the circle of parasitism.

Interviewer referred to this leach as “intelligent”. That would mean that there are a few brain cells able to rationalize that it is necessary to vote ‘Rat to continue to be a good leaching bum.

I just watched both videos. Never have I wanted more to punch a guy in the face. Hopefully someone will go down to the beach and do just that. He can then go buy a nice strip steak with his EBT card and put it on his black eye.

Sigh ... yes, you can claim the EITC on the 1040EZ but you miss the point. The big bucks in EITC come with children. The dollar value you can claim on the EZ is fairly small in comparison ($475 is the max, MFJ, income between 6,260 and 13,000). If you have kids, you don't use the EZ since you can't claim them on that form.

And, incidentally, without kids the amount of Food Stamp allowance is also fairly limited. Some poor shlub working part time minimum wage thus falling within the EITC range, generally will qualify for - wait for it - $16 in food stamps a month.

With 3 kids, begged or borrowed, you can claim up to $5,891 on the more complex forms, not to mention the refundable CTC worth another $3,000. So you are wasting your time harping about the 1040EZ - that's not where the big money (and big fraud) is found.

But by all means, you have had your taxes done and that's as good as sleeping at a Holiday Inn Express, right?

[yldstrk]

I would like to see that too!

[Gaffer]

Realized that, and also realized we were talking about a frigging bum here (no kids - no money). My whole commentary was primarily about that aspect of our society with no kids who are still able to get EITC because of liberals wanting their votes. I already know EITCers with kids make much, much more....they get near $5K/year under the right filing conditions, and they haven’t have had to work one minute during the entire year.

If Odumbo had a son, this surfer dude would look like his white half.

[fr_freak]

no chick is going to want his broke ass

Ha. I'm guessing that you're not all that familiar with the state of the modern woman.

[Graybeard58]

The E.I.T.C. - Proposed by Nixon, signed into law by Ford and increased under every administration since, without exception.

[Gaffer]

I knew that. Lived it.

[hattend]

Only a third? Crap... mine is almost half!

I envy you.

[Gluteus Maximus]

I gotta say, part of me admires this guy. He says his job in the morning is to make sure the sun is up and the girls are walking around. My job in the morning is to run around like a chicken with its head cut off trying to put out fires in my solo legal practice. Who is the wiser man? I think it's a real question. Why not take it easy. Why should I bust my butt for the privilege of being taxed to pay for others?

I've worked my ass off for over forty years in a row. I really understand the temptation to fold my arms and live like this guy, I must say. You know, the truth is that you really could live well on little or no money at all. It's not just EBT cards. There are free meals all over the place in church basements. You can get a shower at the homeless shelter. You can get free clothes. Medical care is free for the poor, too. Seriously, why am I busting my hump like this, when I too could have the sunshine and the surf all day, every day?

Seriously, why am I busting my hump like this, when I too could have the sunshine and the surf all day, every day?

And that's ultimately when the system collapses, when more and more people reach that same conclusion, eventually it reaches the point of no return.

[Hot Tabasco]

Can you say, “Cloward-Pivens’?

Sure can but since I ain't no intellectual, I got no idea what that law firm is.........Why do you guys name drop like that?

[DPMD]

Can’t imagine why this is even considered news. He’s one of millions whose lifestyle is based on handouts. Let’s check in with him in about 15 years.

[GOPJ]

Yeah, this guy qualifies for free heath care too... He doesn’t have to come up with any match or minimum payment... I’m charmed. Who wants to bet he has an Obama phone? Or two?

[Brown Deer]

I would think that there would be more of an uproar about how most people are using the their food stamp dollars on TV dinners, soda and junk food.

When my 3 teenage boys were home I spent $250 every two weeks and that does not count refills on milk/bread.

[SoCalTransplant]

Sorry, I’m calling shenanigans on this story.

The projects in Los Angeles are TEEMING with welfare brood mares that pop out a kid every year by a different guy, and suddenly the face of welfare fraud is Whitey McWhiteguy here, who loves rock music, has model girls swooning, is into surfing and lobster, and is pretty much the exact opposite of the inner city ghetto black welfare queen?

I think this is a PC plant, to try to misdirect the public to believing that this type of guy is the typical welfare cheat, and not someone named LaFawnda or Shaniqua. He comes off as an actor to me, but if he is legit its clear that they went searching for the whitest white guy they could find, as opposed to just simply taking a walk through any neighborhood in Watts or Compton.

The war on whitey continues.

This punk is in a band, probably working under the table.
My guess is (based on the bands bookings from their website) he's bringing home plenty of cash.
