Argh!

Ya know, there's not a whole lot in this world that truly pisses me off. But tonight in the grocery line there was a family that had a kid about 13 or so with the "mouth bling" stuff (you know...the "jewelry" that fits over the teeth). Dad was talking on a brand new, state of the art cell phone and mom was wearing tons of jewelry that didn't look fake.

And they paid with food stamps.

And me? I'm doing good just to keep the fucking lights on.

Am I right in assuming this means the food was paid for by a government scheme? sucks bigtime if so.

How much you want to bet the dad's a pimp, the son's a drug dealer and the mom's a ho? LOL

Let me guess... Mooncrickets.
At least they're showing the little shitbird how to beat the system.
Remember the old days when people were humiliated to use foodstamps?

It is really horrible how some people misuse the system while those of us who are honest struggle just to survive.

Ha, ha webmiztris! Chances are you are right on the money.

((hugs))

HA!!!!!
I can one up that.
There was a woman at the garage that wanted one of us to knock her up because she had 9 kids and with 10 she would get $5000 a month and a new townhouse for free from welfare.
Some people know how to abuse the system.

Around here they have had black market rings selling the food stamps for drug money. The state is too stupid to attach names and addresses on the stamps so that who ever uses them must produce ID to match that on stamps.
