I have known a number of couples who employ just that strategy. Other than being sponges, we’re not even talking about the stereotypical gutter welfare queens either.

In fact, I know a few retirement-age folks who do that claiming that the social security checks are significantly larger if both parties claim social security as single rather than married. Don’t know if that’s true or not, but that’s what they’ve told me.

I haven’t watched local TV in probably years. All the big city stuff I could get is from Atlanta and it’s about as worthless as a bucket of spit. I’ve been 100% air/cable/satellite free since 2012.... I am completely streamed with what I choose.....

I cannot put on local TV and watch with my grandkids.

Its infested with ads with gay’s kissing and seems to think their audience is homos and lesbys.

At a local shop this afternoon, I was at the cash register and as I paid with my card, the point of sale screen asked me if I wanted to "round up" my total purchase with a charitable contribution to some LGBTQ group. I skipped the screen and went on to complete my purchase.

Asked the young cashier if she could make sure my purchase did not include "a contribution to a charity" and she said "No" and gave me a dirty look.

Checked my paper receipt and confirmed it did not contain the "contribution."

“it’s like money laundering as they push it on wall-to-wall TV campaigns.”

NOW We’re scratching the surface!

“Is this why the DEEP STATE is so locked in and has Votes?”

Remember Romney talking about the “47%” who are so dependent on the government that they will forever vote for more free stuff? He was excoriated for telling the truth about this situation.

My advice is to call the “shop manager/owner” and tell them you won’t be shopping there anymore. They need to know their pandering to insanity doesn’t come without repercussions.

Too bad it’s too late for Norman Rockwell to paint a portrait of the new American excuse for a family and put it on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. For series on the Meaning of America.

Next one with drag queen in elementary school assembly with lesbian “parents” watching their cross dressing child enjoy it. And pusher passing out packets of meth to each child.

Then mobs of organized store looters with large plastic yard waste bags of high end merchandise going out the door.

And change for one that had working man standing up at a public meeting to speak his mind. New one will show him getting canceled by mob tearing him to pieces and spitting on him for bringing in a MAGA hat, with police and FBI surging in from the back doors to arrest him for domestic terrorism.

And BLM flag going up to replace the 90% burned American flag outside the post office.

Part of the government’s strategy to destroy the nuclear family.

And it’s working.

What they don’t realize is that there is a reckoning coming that each and every one of them will have to face and answer for. And they will then realize that their scamming the system was not worth it.

No, the advertisements are a big FU, designed and intended to infuriate normal people. Yes, they are that petty and vindictive.

Nor can you take them to a Disney film, as "Lightyear" forces you to explain lebsos kissing and "having a baby" to your grandkids, while star Chris "Captain America" Evans says if you object you are an "idiot" who should "die off like dinosaurs".

when I was working, the younger nurses would get 3months sick leave, paid....on top of that our govt gave them 3 more months, paid....I got none of that....you had to be back to work after 6 weeks unless you had some vacation time you could use....

on top of that, these parents are getting thousands of dollars for their children...

where the hell was this money when my husband and I struggled raising our family....we could have used some extra bucks...

its just the unfairness of the way they distribute our tax money....

That $900 Section 8 allowance is less than half the average rent for a 3 BR house in my neighborhood.

There is definitely a reckoning coming for them. I’m not even talking about the particular Judgment here. I’m talking about a natural reckoning that is going to impact whole societies for violating the natural law that God placed in our hearts and that He designed for the functioning of the universe He created.
