[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The OP is sickening, but DCUMs, don't kid yourself - whether she's real or a troll, this is a pretty widely held opinion. I just looked at a FB post my friend from HS had liked; both are waitresses. The post was a rant about some waitressing complaint and quickly degenerated into dozens of rants about people on public assistance. It also was unashamedly racist. I don't know what percentage of the American public thinks this way, but it's not insubstantial. These are the Trump voters.[/quote]

I'm the poster who could have taken aid but didn't.  What perpetuates this is the resentment from people like me who were struggling, and we watched people just like me cash in.  I'm white.  I saw other white people do this.  You people in DC with your pensions and healthcare have no idea how the rest of us really live.  You're completely delusional.[/quote]

I don't have a pension and my healthcare is through my employer. I save for retirement and pray it is enough for when I am no longer employable.

I still manage not to take a shit on poor people on assistance, though.

Also, think about what you just said: you are made because you needed help and didn't take it. YOU needed help and DIDN'T take it. Someone else did. And, for that, you are resentful because YOU needed help, and didn't take it. [/quote]

Let me clarify.  I was resentful because when I said cash in, I meant use the benefits fraudulently.  Some people I saw used benefits but were working for cash under the table. One person I knew lost her job, could have accepted another, but decided working wasn't her style, so she stayed on bendfits for as long as she could, while renting out rooms in her apartment for extra cash under the table.  Another woman I know got benefits, lied about her living situation and was living with her boyfriend, so she could continue benefits.  One person I knew was receiving benefits but decided to build a pool in his yard.  That's why I'm resentful. [/quote]
+1 I'm a different poster than above, but I saw the exact same thing. A woman renting out rooms in her 3-bedroom tax-payer subsidized apartment for cash under the table! There is so much scamming going on with these assistance programs, but responsible people who are getting by on their own are the ones who are insulted. [/quote]

Ok, and there are plenty of people who use the programs to get them through hard times and better their situations. Should we cut them off because some people abuse it? [/quote]
