just out of curiosity, how are they pulling this off?
i'm aware that people do this on occasion, i'm just wondering how do you know that this person is on welfare, and where do u think they get their extra money from?

I had a neighbor who had plenty of extravagant things and collected welfare. She owned a car, expensive furniture, diamonds and was able to join a sou-sou (spelling err) of $50 weekly, traveled to/from Panama and Virginia. The government give them Section 8, her rent was $34 a month while I paid real rent. There were a couple of these people in my bldg, who were in there before new landlord who did not take any vouchers. All of these women had working men in their apartment. That's how they lived comfortable. One has been with her man for over 19 years and not married. They pop out children and add more to the system. They have found ways to stay on they system for years. Once President Clinton passed the law on 5 years of public system. Two of them have devised ways of getting disability. Another took a school aide job just to keep her voucher. I asked her why she did not go to school and get a degree while the Board of Ed paid for it. Her response was that she did not want to lose her voucher. I blame the government for not policing the system.

man this pisses me off. i see a lot of my boys claiming to be broke from the hood the gutter all that crap. yet they can buy 700$ brand name leather jackets, $150 jeans, basically living the ghetto fabulous lifestyle in the projects paying like 200$ for rent. yet i work my ass off get taxed the **** out of and basically just try to get by. the system rewards those who sit on their ass and penalizes those who try to do something for themselves. i used to be really liberal on this subject but im 20 now and once i saw the govt taking 100$ + out of my check in taxes alone and seeing these people get their laziness rewarded i opened my eyes

At least I know I'm not the only person who noticed that. Lights, sirens and VAS plates on a fully loaded '08 Cadillac Escalade does seem shady.

u know what if you know how to beat the system then more power to you....living in nyc is hard enough as it is. either way if somebody's sponging off the system i still have to pay my taxes, there's no way around that. it's either them, or the govt spending my money foolishly on WMD's.
