No but I can attest, seeing it as a manager for a place that had a good amount of employees that actually bitched and requested less hours as it would affect their benefits.
Worst part they were 18-25, not in college, no children. Just liked to party. Even sicker is there were others in school and had children that recieved less benefits or no benefits.
They just had a mentality of why wouldn't you take the money. Its like being at a fair and they gave out free food and you said no thank you then paid for the same food.
As a manager, you had a choice.
What benefits do people 18-25 receive?
Seriously...
What? Why do you assume only healthy people get a check from taxpayers? This doesn't even make sense.
The OP probably believes people receiving SS benefits are healthy and able to work, like the elderly 62+ years of age who have paid Social Security taxes all of their lives.
Maybe the OP believes people, once reaching a certain age should be euthanized, 50 or 55 sounds like an appropriate age. We could cut down on our population too. Maybe the OP would like to see democratic voters euthanized first.
Glad to see he is so serious about this.
I was suspect that this was the GOP plan during the budget squabbles, now I'm almost positive they want to throw our grandmas over the cliff.
Why don't you ask your welfare abusing relatives you mentioned up thread? You are in a unique position in that you actually know and are related to people who are gaming the system. I suggest you inquire directly with them to answer your question.
Or report them to the State.
That would be the action that shows integrity.
If you know someone committing a crime and do nothing about it, you're condoning their actions. Heck, they're participating in the fraud.
Always cracks me up about those who try to claim the "moral high ground" in some areas while behaving criminally in others.

In a nutshell.
They create a problem and demonize it.
If the money is up for grabs, most people will take it.
Think corporate welfare and loopholes for the rich - same thing!
The very government that you and other lefties think will save us created the tax system as it exists today.
Sorry, but "loopholes" are just tax exemptions. Legal. Lawful. Created by government. Not the same thing as a healthy person waiting for a check at all.
The GM bailout, which obama loves to brag about, was "corporate welfare".

Actually, if you never paid in, you should receive no benefit. Have a cousin that's a junkie.....never lifted a finger to help his kids financially. When he wound up in rehab, his kids were receiving $300 each monthly rom SSI.
There's one example of millions of similar stories.

You really do live in a dream world, don't you?
Many of today's young people take food stamps and other benefits.
They are the lowest form of scum.
