You do know they quit making Hummers in 2010? At best that Hummer is a 5 year old used vehicle.

Because people like Ohky0815 don't quite get it. See, these super thoughtful types think that I shouldn't care that I'm forced to pay more than most HOUSEHOLDS GROSS INCOME in taxes every year while these leeches live in the same neighborhoods as me, driver nicer cars than me, and have nicer phones than me. I drive a 16 year old car, and have a 4 year old prepaid phone... I work hard so they don't have to. I should just keep working hard according Ohky0815, he sounds like the smart one...

As long as they can pay their bills, including their portion of section 8, who cares how many TVs they have. Go buy yourself an extra one and leave them alone.

Thank you Tac-Sea for showing Ohky0815 how to read critically.

Good to know I went to college and worked hard to get ahead so I can pay more than the median gross household income in taxes to fund these leeches. I've filed complaints yet nothing is done. Where are the bleeding heart liberals and their apologies for these leeches?? Basically your policy is to buy votes by stealing for those who worked for it at the threat of imprisonment or death, to give to those who don't.
I'm willing to bet big bucks that they belong to the "oppressed" minority.

I should be so "oppressed" what with...

Free housing...complete with a/c and heat (can't have the little darlings be uncomfortable!).
Free food
Free education (no crushing student debt for them).
Free medical
Free dental
Free legal services

All on my tax dime. Disgusting!

Why don't you post your income????? I'll bet it's not that high considering you missed the fact that I said I pay more than the median HOUSEHOLD GROSS COMBINED INCOME...
Well then your obvious solution is to stop working get rid of your rental property and go on welfare, sec.8, food stamps, etc., etc. You're obviously are some kind of chump, in your mind, if you don't. So get busy not working.

Ding ding ding!! This oppressed minority also seems to move a non English speaking family in with them for a few months then they move out and another family moves in with them for a few months.

Complaint after complaint with the Office of the Inspector General has been filed by me and several neighbors. It will take the media to bring this fraud, waste and abuse to light.

He's too busy apologizing for welfare queen losers. Every post ignores facts and just makes excuses for them. Gee, I wonder if he's a successful professional making six figures or one of them...

This is why I retired early. I grew weary of working 50 - 60 hours a week, paying income taxes far beyond what most people gross, and then getting the constant message from the liberal elite and the gibsmedats that I should be paying even more so that others could sit on their duff all day and do nothing. I said screw it I have enough to live out my days and will no longer feed the beast.

As an aside, I use a flip phone that cost about $50 and then I buy a year's service for $100. iPhones are not necessities, especially for Section 8 people that don't support themselves.

and they pay taxes the same as you do so dont spout that your taxes paid for it all and you get some magical say.

As a person paying more than half my income for shelter, I have a right to be outraged.

Please explain why people with more income should get a 20% or greater rent subsidy while 11 million pay at least half their income for shelter while getting no subsidy.
