The gov gives away free money, some just don't know how to get it. Had a client worth 10 million dollars on welfare, living on park avenue in Manhattan in a rent stabilized apartment. She just need to keep her annual income below 20k to qualify so we stayed away from dividends and bonds.

One can be on welfare (in most...if not all states) or SSI and own a home and one car...as far as I know the value of the home or car do not come into play. You cannot own other assets such as property...a boat...RV etc.

Oops sorry, I'll leave this thread, read the title and assumed it was UK ! :)

I was under the impression that you could get welfare for as long as you qualified.

The thing is once you qualify, if your able to live within you needs, there's never a reason to come off of welfare.

My buddy I mentioned above can go and get a job at any time he wants. But why bother? He's pulling in over $100k a year and hasn't worked in twenty years.

such bullshit. why are you such a retard?

You are full of shit. :2 cents:

Moral of this thread: Don't be Rochards friend or you could end up nuts and dependent on the govt too.

I looked at the meter and yeah, it's broken, but the bill has been close to the same it has always been , they have their head up their collective asses!

Its a conspiracy to make right wingers help pay for people to smoke crack all day.

Is this the same guy who is constantly babbling about conspiracy theories?

Yup all folks that go on walfare are cheating the system. The amount of bullshit you sprew daily is unreal. Just like your threads about your mexican neighbours. You should post more about your awesome mustang.

Pay attention. The Mexican family moved out. I sold all of my Mustangs.

What bullshit do you speak of? I found a news article about how someone on welfare lives in a million dollar house and talked about an old friend who is raping the system. It seems I know more people abusing the system than legitimately benefiting from it.

Yeah I know this guy too. What a bastard. An Ol' Dirty Bastard.

I remember one time he was all bragging to us cos he picked up his welfare check in a LIMO!

Nuff said. Just curious where you are pulling your stats from?? Or talking out your ass as usual??? So for everyone one person that needs it 12 are are abusing it?? Stats or shut the fuck up. Have you not been chased from most boards because of the retarded shit you post??

RIP ODB(SBJ). :( Also RIP my ferret Molly that we had to euthanize on Saturday Night(2005-2011).

All you fucking communists should move to Russia, China, North Korea and report back in a few years on what a glorious paradise it is.

This isn't your little pond to piss in.

Sorry to hear this about Molly, never met the ferret but have enjoyed her name for years! Rip I am sure she had many a good night, sucks to lose any friend, for me the furry ones hurt the worst.

Oh, and the whole sucking from the governments tit, bunch of babies that need to learn to feed themselves:321GFY

So your okay with someone collecting welfare from the government while living in a million dollar house?

This is the best part:

So they suck in money from the government, gave money to charities, and then traveled around the world? Can you not see what's wrong with this?

That shit is criminal, and whats more, when those fucks may actually need govern,ent hand out, I hope they at least remember what they have done. Small circles in this world...

Nope I'm not. I asked you where you pulled your stats from. You said for every 1 person that needs welfare there are 12 abusing it. So again where are you getting your numbers??

There are quite a few people on welfare living in million dollar houses.

As a matter of fact they recieved some huge welfare checks around 2008 -2009.

She had degenerative bone cancer and lost the use of her lower back/back legs saturday night. We said if she ever got to where her quality of life diminished, we'd do the right thing and that was pretty much it. Since she's been going downhill the past 4 months we've taken her out for ice cream during that time. Poor thing was probably expecting a treat after the car ride rather than what she got. :(

*Edit: fuck it i'm starting a new thread. this shit has me depressed.

And the rhetorical question of the day award goes to...

Just the tip of the iceberg.

:(

Not all folks.. maybe 40% are fraudsters. Nobody really knows, because the government doesn't care about rooting out the ginormous amount of fraud. These government welfare hacks thrive on ignorance. It's all fun money to them, a jobs program and a way to buy votes. There is a whole social work industry based on it, the "poverty pimps."

Good for them. They learned how to beat a system that was set up to beat them.

I hope they are able to get away with it AND continue to get paid.

corporate welfare bums ...

Obamacare. Blame it on Obama.

Aye that they be, racking up far more welfare $$$ than the normal citizens on welfare could ever collectively get close to.

Not to say that typical welfare fraud isn't bad, but trotting out the "hey look at this welfare scammer living in a mansion" story to somehow make it seem like this is the real problem is a complete joke.

.

there are always going to be scammers of every system the government puts out there, in California it's real bad. when illegal aliens can collect it, with the other cost from city and county services costing LA county about a billion a year. All because LA is a sancutary city and California pays more for welfare than any other state I believe. I know we'll never get the problem taken care of because now LA county is over 50% latino.

But we'll just keep moving on spending the money for that instead of properly funding our schools, the schools here suck compared to other parts of the US

We have the same problem in the UK. One family lives in this house paid by the taxpayer.

Didn't I see something in the news that the royal family is going to start paying taxes?

will north america be embracing the slave trade again? or simply revert to child labour etc

over your head dum dum.

Best reply so far :thumbsup :thumbsup

Just a little update ....
 

SEATTLE -- A Seattle chiropractor and his wife live in a $1.2 million waterfront home and have spent the past eight years flying to Moscow, Paris, Israel, Turkey, Mexico and the Dominican Republic.

All the while, federal authorities say, the couple was collecting more than $100,000 in welfare.

Now, the U.S. attorney's office is suing David Silverstein and Lyudmila Shimonova, accusing them of filing false claims and demanding that the couple pay back more than $135,000 in federal housing assistance since 2003. Prosecutors are also seeking tens of thousands of dollars in fines.

In gaining Section 8 housing assistance, Shimonova represented that she lived alone with her two children and that her household assets were less than $5,000. Silverstein received the monthly benefits of $1,272 as Shimonova's purported landlord, the government said.

Shimonova also received benefits under the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, as well as Social Security cash reserved for people who can't work due to age or disability and whose assets fall below a certain threshold ? $3,000 for a married couple or $2,000 for a single person, the complaint said.

"Defendants have separately and, it appears, in conjunction with one another made false representations to various state and federal agencies in order to obtain federally funded benefits," assistant U.S. attorneys Harold Malkin and Kayla Stahman wrote.

Meanwhile, they were traveling the world, according to Department of Homeland Security records.

Michael Radyshewsky, a federal welfare fraud investigator, wrote in an application to search the couple's home that they took weeklong trips to Moscow in 2003, Dominican Republic in 2005, and Mexico and France in 2009. In 2007, they went for 12 days to Israel, and this past June they took a two-week trip to Turkey.

Silverstein said Tuesday his lawyer asked him not to comment, and his lawyer, David Allen, did not immediately return a message. The home did not appear to have a listed phone number, and Shimonova's lawyer, Michele Shaw, did not return an email seeking comment.

The investigation included surveillance of the three-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot home on Lake Washington, during which agents observed his black Jaguar parked there frequently.

Though Shimonova had claimed she was single and lived there alone, Silverstein listed it as his residence on his driver's license and passport application, the prosecutors said.

But in documents filed so that he could receive the housing assistance, he listed his office as his residence to conceal that he was living with Shimonova ? not her landlord, they said.

Furthermore, it appeared clear that the pair was actually married. Silverstein wrote on the website of his chiropractic business: "On a personal note, I am happily married with two children, whose careers are in medicine and Middle Eastern studies. As a family, we all enjoy snow-shoeing, mountain climbing and ocean sports."


A report of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle for the 2010 fiscal year listed "Mila and Dr. David Silverstein" as donors.

In addition to failing to disclose the marriage or living situation, Shimonova also failed to disclose bank accounts in her name containing tens of thousands of dollars, prosecutors said.

The lawsuit seeks to have the couple pay $11,000 in fines for each false claim the couple made. The U.S. attorney's office declined to comment on whether criminal charges are forthcoming.
