Free "one shot deal" back rent payments (which aren't once and rarely paid back) for the "poor".


Free housing (shelters, hotels, vouchers, etc....) for the "poor"


Free healthcare for "the poor"


And so it goes and now this new fresh hell is being piled on.


You want to wonder why bother and getting up to earn for a living. BdeB and city council are packing a pair of 38DD's for any and everyone to nurse from; come one come all.
So tell me how you get all of this stuff? Because I read about it all over...while working with the poor and see almost none of what your list comprises (besides free healthcare, Obamaphones, & Once a year weatherizationnothing to shake a stick at)

Not everyone is employed, there are large numbers of people in every city who receive SSI which is $750 a month, small SS checks, unemployment or nothing at all.

What do you need to be taking the subway that often for if you don't have a job?

It’s not free. It’s reduced. I defy any of you to feed, clothe and house a family of four living in NYC for $25,000 a year.
