I work my tail off and pay a ton of taxes. Yet, I keep reading about people sitting at home collecting welfare or setting up fraudulent daycares, home health businesses or other scams to make more money than me.

So I ask, am I the stupid one?

We all are. Now, if you do it and sleep good at night, you’re also a scumbag.

I prefer to not be a scumbag.

What you’re describing is a minority.

I trust the law will continue to hold those accountable who do not uphold their end of the social contract.

Making more money than you is probably putting it mildly

You can live quite well in the USA being a bum. The only real issue is housing and where it is from a safety standpoint. If I did it, it wouldn’t be in a big city. It would be in a wooden shack out in the sticks. If you’re OK with that quality of life, you too can be lazy.

Do you also believe in Santa Clause as well?

The lawMAKERS created this. Sub humans from a 3rd world shithole are just the useful idiots that happen to be living large.

I 100% believe Republicans are tied up as well. They are overwhelmingly quiet. If not this scam but others.

Continue? You fricking can’t be serious. I’d love to live in the liberal utopia bubble that you guys make up in your mind. Is it fun being that fricking naive and retarded?

We all are... Greg Foreman (Conservative Black Perspective on YouTube), stated this. We all need to start our own 'Day Cares', 'Health Cares', and private nursing agencies.


Of course, there are a few caveats... It must be in a Democratically run, large City and State and #2, we would still be the working poor since our campaign contributions to Democrats would eat much of the profits.

I have asked myself and several of my friends and family the same question over the last 20 years or so. What’s going on now just amplifies it.

No, you’re not. If you were, you wouldn’t be speculating and asking good questions. That guy RFK on the other hand, yes, he is stupid. Very stupid.

What’s happened is a shame

Would you prefer to be a freeloader and a thief? Would you sell your soul for money? The thing about crime is that it corrupts character. Character is more important than money, imo. But yeah, pray for justice for these thieves, and include politicians in that prayer.

It's not about intelligence as much as risk tolerance.

How much tolerance do you have to risk going to jail for several years (up to decades), losing everything, shaming yourself and your family, etc.?

Ive asked myself same question. I make a few bucks here and there...but I work for it and the things I produce, you can actually see. DC people and their army of fraudsters are far wealthier and produce nothing
