[quote=Anonymous]I don't agree with they way OP worded their thoughts - and I certainly don't begrudge a child an ipad for that matter. Buy, I will say that we have a real problem. I volunteer with a low-income family through a DC charity. The family is fully supported in a nice, new townhome in Columbia Heights. The couple has 5-6 children, and from what I understand they like to have as many as possible because for each child they get more assistance. They have 2 nice cars. The kids all run around with the latest nike sneakers, latest gadgets, iphones etc. A few times I've been offered extra vegetables and fruit. The mom has so many food stamps that she has a ton of excess every month and usually gives away or sells to neighbors. They are such nice people, but they have no incentive to leave the system and boy do they know how to WORK it. They teach their children how to do this as well, and it's cyclical. Very sad.[/quote]
