Or the lesson learned can be if you don't know HOW to lie or -- what NOT to lie about -- then don't lie.

Whether it's lying on an application, or about anything else...don't lie about something that can be PROVEN untrue, or verified.

Excellent advice!

This is a good lesson learned: you shouldn't lie, even if you think the other party you are dealing with may be dishonest. The jobs you get should be on your own merit. If you have the experience, academic credentials, and confidence this should suffice, and you shouldn't resort to lying.

Tax dollars provide education to prisoners, cable tv and other fun amenities. Many of these recidivists come and go in and out of prison like a revolving door. But that doesn't bother you and others like you?

It really is none of your business who is collecting what on here. Because that person who worked for 15-20 years paid into the system, just like you and everybody else. They have a right to get assistance. That is why we pay taxes. If you have a serious problem with paying income taxes and disapprove of what they use it for, move to a state that doesn't require you to pay income taxes.

You may not like people collecting assistance. You need to differentiate between the scum sucking the system and the hardworking tax paying people who got dealt a bad hand due to nothing more than the Recession. You also can't tell me what to do with my taxes. I paid them and if I need help then clearly I will get it.

Agree fully with the underlined.
