I NEVER received a dime from the government.

If I ever get to the age to receive Soc Security I will accept that check, because I pay into it.

I don't believe that people who "cheat the system" should get the money or assistance they get.

Wow, you guys seem to know an awful lot of people on welfare.
I'm sure you know they lied and haven't provided refuting information to the agency in your state.
Therefore you are complicit in a crime.

Dick Cheney is one. He cheated and lied in order to get us into the war in Iraq and now he gets plenty of welfare (taxpayer money) for his war profiteering machine. Anything else?

I searched google and quickly found these sites:

Searching food stamp fraud:
FSSA: Fraud Hotline

Searching welfare fraud:
Reporting Welfare Fraud (each state has their own site)

Searching mecdicare fraud:
Medicare.gov - How to Report Medicare Fraud

You mean like the FLDS women/mothers? I'm surprised that the Department of Welfare and Human Services hasn't caught on to the fact that 200 of their welfare recipients all live at the same address. You would think that the Brinks truck delivering the (welfare checks, food stamps, Medicaid, SS Disability for all of the children afflicted with various deformities that severe inbreeding causes, Section 8 housing vouchers) would have told them that. Yeah, you're right, they do lie to get welfare and let the polygamist "fathers" (sperm donors) off the hook for child support.

I used to work with a lady who told the welfare office that she was single even though she was married to a man who made more than $1200 per month. She received food stamps, welfare and Medicaid for her and her children. I turned her in when I found out.

Here in the Missouri Ozarks, it seems that we have more people abusing the SSI laws (being on "disability") than anything else. Here if you have a pimple on your butt, you apply for disability. I have never seen so many, worthless, lazy, white trash people who are "disabled" in my life. It sure doesn't stop them from drinking beer, smoking cigarettes and watching television all day. LOL

If you can't prove it, then you're judging and making people guilty without having any proof.
If you have proof and are not turning it in, you're complicit.

This isn't rocket science.
Of course, I don't know how much logic can be found in the bible.

Most of the people complaining on this thread are thumpers.
You still haven't responded to the issue, is it because you can't?
