So what else is new? Behind every fortune is a monsterous crime.

Oh, boy. What a loaded claim. You don't believe in Hard Work and the American Spirit do you Greg. |

According to what that says, they didn't cheat. They reported their information correctly and they qualified. That is a big problem with the system. There should be more restrictions on who qualifies making services more likely go to those that need it. Who among us doesn't know a few people getting more that their fair share of handouts?

The American Dream is just that - a fantasy. The only thing hard work and American spirit will get you is tired and drunk. Working smart with the help of family money and connections is almost as good a way to success as just inheriting the family fortune and staying sober enough not to throw it away. I am a realist, not a dreamer.

You just now figured it out?
All these sour grapers think anyone doing better than they are is some giant, amoral, cheating, backstabbing jerk.
It doesn't occur to them that anyone can do well just on their own merits.
Frankly, I think they need to meet more people than the hoodlums and gangsters they obviously associate with.
There's a whole world out there, people. |

I don't know about realist Greg, it sounds more like a LAZY DREAMER! If you think hard work won't get you places, then your parents did a really bad job raising you. |

All your comments ever prove is that you have no decent people in your life, Greg. You need to get out more and meet some really awesome, successful people who never pulled a scam in their lives...and would take their shirts off and give them to anyone who needed it. I feel sorry for you and the world you inhabit. |

I was going to be more blunt... to me he sounds like a loser who is trying to blame it on everyone else. |
