[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While this series was compelling, motivating as well as tough to swallow (have not read the actual book yet!), I think it was wrong for the main character to accept cash jobs on the side while receiving housing, food, free medical and financial assistance from taxpayers.
[b]Welfare fraud is a huge crime [/b]yet this movie treats the character with sympathy for having to try so hard to survive. [/quote]
Cite for this assertion?[/quote]

Really??!
Why do you need a citation for this??
It is common knowledge (just like cats are felines!) that welfare fraud is a crime.
A huge one at that. A felony.

If you go into the Nanny forums on this site &gt; there are tons of posters on threads declaring how shameful it is for domestic workers to work “under-the-table” for cash wages.
People accuse people of doing this as cheating the government and/or getting out of paying their taxes.
Yet this movie seems to say it is a-okay to receive food coupons and rental help while at the same time accepting cash paying only jobs on the side.
Remember how after being fired from ValueMaids Alex put up ads on job boards advertising she was available for cleaning houses - yet only for cash?
How is this fair when the taxpayers are covering her food/housing/medical costs?

You can put lipstick 💄 on a pig……
Welfare fraud is welfare fraud.
And Alex is committing a serious felony yet it is never acknowledged to be bad which is why this program should not have been shown on Netflix.

The Closer with Dave Chapelle got so much criticism…..however he was not committing any offenses to the law.[/quote]
