I don't mean to come across as judgmental, but I've gotten to know a few providers over the years. So one I now see regularly for "massage", good provider, tells me she makes on average 1500/ week, doesn't have to work that hard for it. Over months of conversation, I've come to know that she is on virtually every available government assistance program you can think of. Medicaid, food stamps, subsidized housing, AFDC, free school lunches, and others. It just gnaws at me that this person, who makes more that I do, does not pay taxes yet obtains all of these govt benefits. I'll never say anything directly to her or anyone else about it, but it does bother me at a gut level. What are other opinions about this?

Thanks.

In the end, I look at it like I do any crime of opportunity and think governments should investigate and prosecute. Instead, they spend their time and efforts on "victimless" crimes.

I can't stand it when people take advantage of a system that was put in place to help those who truly need it. I don't know any statistics on the subject, but I'll bet way more people abuse the gov't handouts, than those who actually need it. I personally work my ass off, have a house that's close to paid off, and 401 k savings that is going to allow me to do whatever I want when the time comes. The only reason I mention that is because when you see people like this girl, who think they're getting over on the system, they're not. And we'll have the last laugh when nobody wants a "massage" from a washed up skank who spent all her efforts cheating the system. It's a hard lesson to learn. But it sounds like she deserves it. So, getting paid under the table, bouncing from apartment to apartment, and teaching her kids how cheat the system will certainly lead to a life of fulfillment. What a waste.

This gets them more money per month for their special needs children plus pills to sell. Then comes tax time. They claim $6K of income from cleaning houses which gets them the EIC in addition to child credits and HOH. All in they can get $4K or $6K in a tax return when they never paid one freaking dime in witholding. The system is shit.

This may be the biggest scam benefit, at a time when healthcare costs are exploding for taxpaying Americans. I'm not saying these girls don't "work" for their money, but they don't claim the large sums some of them make, and they understand exactly how to game the entire system of public benefits. And they know enough not to put it in the bank either where assets can be traced. Tens of thousands pull this off in the US, with no apparent way to fix it. Many live in semi squalor because of very expensive drug habits. How ironic it is for the govt to rail against drug abuse in this country while at the same time subsidizing it. Ridiculous.

However, you have to take care of the lowlifes and scourges of the country, it's just the way it goes. There's no fixing it, no reforming it, nobody's going to learn or wake up and start being honest or get off drugs. You're better off to accept that a certain percentage of our society is going to cheat, lie, do drugs and sponge off the system. You can't ignore them or leave them with nothing. Sad but true. Once you realize it you can focus your energy on things that matter to you and your family, not how or what others are getting away with. My two cents.
Took the day off to celebrate, will drink lots of green beer while looking for green pussy. Any fresh green chicks out there want to join me hit me up quick, the bus is leaving.

Hot news topic of the day. Interesting that people on Medicaid are 2 times more likely to receive opioid prescriptions. Gov't knows of course huge numbers of people get free Medicaid opioids and then turn around and sell them, but no one does anything about that. Amazing. So many ways people are working the system, and we are creating addicts and deaths by the thousands. Liberal solution in the past is more Federally funded treatment programs? Give me a break. Rant over.

Are there any straight gloryholes in northeast Ohio that anyone knows of? Always been curious but never have found any in the area.
