32% of all American households are doubled up. (unrelated people sharing a home) Why should people on welfare enjoy a better standard of living?
If you watched the video taxpayers are paying 1300 per month for a single person to live in that city. That's 15,600 dollars per year. The going rent in that city is 1,600 per month (19,200 per year). Why is anyone "entitled" to forcing taxpayers to foot that kind of a bill?
There are roughly 4,800,000 households on section 8 welfare. It costs taxpayers 89,000,000,000.00 per year (Federal & State) for this program. That is 18,500 per household.
Maybe it is time to bring back the housing project concept?
Doing away with housing projects is part of what allowed those cities to improve and gentrify.
Maybe you want the projects coming to your neighborhood.
I ended up having to buy a cheap, rundown trailer to live in because landlords started requiring 3x income to rent at some point while I was living in that apartment and I was living on student loans at the time because no employer wanted to hire me. And then when I finally got a job, the employer didn't want to keep me because of all my medical problems. No employer has ever been willing to accommodate all of my medical problems. Then, the trailer caught fire and we were homeless again.
I ended up getting into an apartment in this one town while I was still employed at this one place. Child support enforcement finally started making him pay child support, so when I got fired yet again for my medical problems, I was getting enough in child support to pay rent and electricity with nothing left over.
I was having to do things like selling stuff I found that people threw in garbage for other stuff that we needed. During times I briefly had employment, before the next firing, I put as much of that money back as I could. I was very, super frugal. I lived near the library, so I was able to walk there and use their internet for free.
The jobs in between firings stopped and I haven't been employed since December 24, 2009. It was very stressful getting fired all time anyway. I had finally got to the point where I knew I'd be fired anyway and so it was hard to even get excited or even hopeful that an employer would finally want to retain me. But I know it's not my fault. I know I have done the best I could. God created me to have so many health problems. I have been sick literally since birth and had to be on oxygen when I was born. I finally accepted that God would never miraculously heal me as His children been telling me much of my life and applied for disability in 2010. I was approved about a year later after going through a lengthy appeals process. They don't like approving anyone.
You mention being "sick all the time" and "all my medical" problems over and over in the above quote, and I have to ask....what exactly ails you that is so bad it prevents you from working, but not so bad to be on SSDI?
They're unconstitutional because not every US 1040 filer pays federal income tax. Only 55% of US 1040 filers do. That violates the equal protection clause.
Then I suggest you take it up with the Supreme Court.
FYI - on the news this evening they had a report of 4 illegals, using the same stolen SSN (I think), claimed over 20 dependent children and got a total of over $27k in tax "refunds". All from the same address. One child lived there.
And that's a crime that should be punished. I don't know of anyone who would dispute that. But to label everyone who is in Section 8 as a criminal because of the ones who break the law is not right.
After RBG is replaced, SCOTUS may be asked to hear such a case.
Well then there ya go. Why all the fuss if you're so sure about it?
For the record, that's not going to change regardless of who's on the SCOTUS.
