Why people who don’t seem to need it take advantage of government assistance

Guy in the other thread called his neighbor trashy for being ok financially but still taking advantage of free meals from school for her grandchildren. If she’s like me, her thinking is, “My tax dollars made it possible, I’m going to get it, too.”

Here’s a situation that I experienced yesterday that will illustrate my point. I was standing in line in the grocery store behind an older lady, a younger lady, and two children. They were dressed very well, and the children were playing on iPhones while they waited. They had three buggies completely full of items. Cashier finished ringing up the purchase, $394 and change. Amount they paid out of pocket, $7 and change. I make my purchase (paid for from my bank account) and leave the store. In the parking lot, same group is still loading food into a late model luxury car. It’s much nicer than what I drive. Pretty easy to understand, eh?
