A Mother Was Given Thousands of Tax Dollars to Help Lift Her Out of Poverty. Guess How She Spent It.

Okay, um, $11,000 wouldn't get anyone out of poverty.

Okay, um, perhaps this woman is in poverty because she makes poor decisions… and, she’s rewarded for it.

It’s not a sentence to lifetime poverty. Those that educate, work, stay off drugs, alcohol, womanizing and gambling make it. 10-20% are astonishing successes.

Since the majority of American poor are workng, you might want to recent your comments. Rich folks d more of the things yuou say here. And they concoct scams to take even more money from others.

I live in an apartment complex, that recently was bought by a new landlord. That landlord has been increasing expired lease rents by as much as 60%. Imagine that your rent is $600/month and suddenly it's damn near $1,000/month.

Whoa! For low income seniors on Social Security and small pensions, this aint gonna fly. Actually, younger people still in the workforce with higher incomes, aren't taking to well to it either. Practically everybody in this complex is moving out. Some people are moving in and paying the higher rents, but not as many as are moving out. I've never seen so many moving vans in my life.

Next May, I will be moving out too, and still haven't figured out where to move to. I have limitations because of a low credit score and income, but I'll find someplace, even if it's not as good as where I am now.

All this is because Florida has no limit of what landlords can raise rents to. The only thing limiting them is new residents' capability to pay, and what they are able to rent apartments for.

But there is another side to this, This isn't oil or minerals mined from the ground. It's not furniture being made and sold. This is about PEOPLE. And it's about people who have been living in this complex for years, and these apartments are their HOMES. One woman who just moved out, had been living here for 25 years. Longtime neighbor-friendships are being obliterated.

If landlords NEED to raise rents, (say 10% or less) for some reason, that's understandable, but to raise them by HUNDREDS of dollars, just for GREED, is not what we ought to be OK with in this country. When hundreds of people are forced out of their homes, this is unacceptable. As is the case with most conservatives, I also favor deregulation of business, but this is one case that is screaming for MORE regulation, to a reasonable degree.

I can't afford to eat at McDonalds anymore.

Seems like they behaved poorly.

All of our problems are not due to some "establishment media". Reparations have come for other groups. So you need to stop pretending that reparations have never been given. That's something YOU do not get.

USA has never granted reparations in line with your favorite pay back hustle

 

[IM2]

This is a false argument.

The reason blue states have such a inflated GDP, is they have so many more international corporations domiciled in their urbanized blue cities.

You are making false arguments.

Just a few multi-million dollar corporate managerial jobs, skews all those statistics.

You are either colossally stoopid, or colossally dishonest. Which is it?

Wealth Inequality in America​

I'm not sure which, but now you have been disabused of this fallacious argument, so you need to knock this dumb ass partisan bullshit off. You have beat your chest and expounded this dumb argument a few times on this forum, and it keeps making you either look like a liar or stoopid. .. I haven't figured our which yet. . .

No, the argument is not incorrect.

How about you work for a living and don’t come crying to me for a handout?

Yeah, it was unfair of blue states to tax folks, build up an infrastructure, fund universities and attract businesses that pay well instead of pining for the slave economy of the past.

How about you pay me back the money I put in that helped finance whites that blacks could not get?

Oh yeah? You think that are more international corporations domiciled in Wyoming with CEO and managerial staff making multimillionaire dollar salaries than in NY, CAL, or IL?

Guess what will happen to this thread? Even though it's a mirror image of another thread. Oh well.....

I'm not going to make any pronouncements on this. I'll leave it up to you. Read it.

A Mother Was Given Thousands of Tax Dollars to Help Lift Her Out of Poverty. Guess How She Spent It.

A Washington, D.C. mother-of-three was given nearly $11,000 through a taxpayer-funded program for impoverished families. She spent the majority of it on a luxurious five-day vacation to Miami.

If she really did that she should have to pay it all back. A lot of bad apples out there , shouldn't reflect on the whole bushel.

Thanks for the confirmation.
