We love the story of the welfare queen scamming the system. Ron Reagan lived off of it. Here we have a woman with lottery winnings who can still get food stamps. Makes a good local news story and message board thread
But what is she doing that the Mitt Romneys of the country are not doing?
She invested in the lottery and had a million dollar profit. Like a good American, she paid $400,000 in taxes and now has $600,000 of personal wealth she has already paid taxes on. According to conservatives, that wealth should not be considered as income. She rightfully claims she does not have a job and is eligible for food stamps. Just like Romney claims he has very little income in spite of immense personal wealth
Yet we persecute the welfare queen and celebrate the megamillionaire
The megamillionaire is not taking taxpayer money to pay for his food, he's using his own wealth to support himself. The leech with the lottery winnings is sitting there on a boat load of money and taking money out of our pockets, and taking food and other necessities out of the hands of people that truly are poor and need it. You really need that explained to you?
