Did you ever think that the number of people getting caught is small compared to the amount of people getting away with it?
Those people that got caught were probably turned in by an ex-friend or ex-family member (girlfriend or wife or husband) and that's the ONLY reason they were caught.
Going around looking for welfare fraud isn't something that is done on a large scale.
You're pretty naive to think that people aren't taking advantage and stealing my tax dollars at every turn.
That's just human nature.
But the bigger thieves are the ones in Washington D.C.
No, I don't want millions of scumbags around the country (and I DO believe it's MILLIONS) gaming the system for a couple hundred bucks here and there (it all adds up). That was MY money.
But the politicians in Washington dwarf that. 10.6 billion dollars a fucking day? Give me a break!
They are stealing more in an hour than all the welfare scammers do in a year. They are spending (mostly on wars and "defense") more in a day than the biggest companies in the world profit in a fucking year.
It's the Democrats and Republicans who are the greedy motherfuckers that we should be going after. Not trying to tax people MORE to feed those thieves in Washington.
