Fick is actually a registered republican.

Nice rant though. :rofl:

He's a registered Black person. True story. :thup:

Saw this comment on some unnamed message board:

No doubt a registered Democrat. Since he is on food stamps, Michigan law likely allows him three votes to keep the election fair.

He is the mostest whitest black person I've seen.

I missed the part of the story where it said he was a Democrat.

Just use a little common sense

I am.

:thup:

I prefer dealing with facts. And the fact is his political affiliation isn't known.

For all we know, he could be one of those Tea Partiers who wants to do away with all government programs....except THEIR medicare and social security ;)

$2M Michigan lottery winner defends use of food stamps

A Michigan man who won $2 million in a state lottery game continues to collect food stamps 11 months after striking it rich.

And there's nothing the state can do about it, at least for now.

Leroy Fick, 59, of Auburn won $2 million in the state lottery TV show "Make Me Rich!" last June. But the state's Department of Human Services determined he was still eligible for food stamps, Fick's attorney, John Wilson of Midland, said Tuesday.

Eligibility for food stamps is based on gross income and follows federal guidelines; lottery winnings are considered liquid assets and don't count as income. As long as Fick's gross income stays below the eligibility requirement for food stamps, he can receive them, even if he has a million dollars in the bank.

Food stamps are paid for through tax dollars and are meant to help support low-income families.

"If you're going to try to make me feel bad, you're not going to do it," Fick told WNEM-TV in Saginaw on Monday.

Wilson said Fick told the DHS officials he'd won $2 million but was told he could keep using the Bridge Card issued to him to buy groceries.

Fick could not be reached for comment Tuesday.

Al Kimichik, director of the office of inspector general for DHS, said the department could not comment on individual cases but that it this week began the process of requesting a waiver from the federal government to close the lottery loophole. If it is granted, assets would be counted in determining food stamp eligibility.

Though the food stamp program is federal and states must follow U.S. guidelines, states sometimes request waivers of rules. Michigan was granted a waiver recently to stop college students from qualifying for food stamps.

"For Leroy Fick to continue to use a Bridge Card, paid for by the taxpayers, after winning the lottery, is obscene," said Sen. Rick Jones, R-Grand Ledge. "What a waste of taxpayer money."

Jones contacted DHS officials Monday about Fick's case, and was told the department's hands were tied by federal regulations.

"There is no liquid asset requirement for getting food stamps," Jones said. "The department is asking the federal government for an immediate change (in policy). They're hoping this case will help the federal government act."

Until then, Fick can collect food stamps and keep his lottery winnings in the bank.

"I am not going to sit and debate the ethics of this," Wilson said. "But from his standpoint, he did what he was supposed to do -- he informed the state, and the state said he could keep using the card. The problem is with the state."

that the states fault , they'll want their cut sooner or later .
they ask for assets requirement ? what if your homeless ?

I think you ire shouldn't be at the welfare guy but the people collecting taxes in that state if they let him slip under the rug thats their fault .

How about its both their fault?

A) the state should be more aware of welfare fraud and B) this dickhead should have canceled his welfare the second he won the lotto..

I live here in Michigan and from what our News is Reporting. The State did know, he actually called the State when he won, and the Lady on the other end informed him he could keep collecting his food aid.

Bureaucrats suck.

The local news is also reporting that he is a registered Democrat, Though I have not seen that confirmed by any State or National News. Just the local Radio.

This has nothing to do with politics or parties.

This guy is an asshole to keep collecting money and the state probably would not have imagined this situation to be held accountable.

A millionaire on food stamps.

good lord, the end is near. If it's not. How bad is it going to be when it does come?

Why is it when someone who happens to be a Democrat fucks up. It has Nothing to do with Party. yet when ever a Republican Fucks up. Were told it is an example of how all Republicans act.

We have a winnah!

She can't lie to him though...what she should have said is "I don't know sir, we'll have to call you back on that. But in the meantime it might be best to hold off on using the card until we are able to determine an answer".

And then never call him back.

Bureaucracies never move fast. That would have been at least acting true to form. :lol:

It's the bright lights. He's also probably scared. Look, we know he's a registered Black person because somebody just posted it on the internet and we know all Black people are Democrats so there 'ya go. My logic is undeniable. :thup:

Additionally, all of you Democrats are complicit in this.

You are his enablers

Complicit....I do not believe you understand the word.

What in the world do you expect them to do....rob him at gunpoint?

The law needs to be changed. Period. Wait and see who is actually AGAINST changing the law and for what reason.

Then you can get your fauxrage on.

:thup:

Just to be clear, here is the definition:
com·plic·it  /kəmˈplɪsɪt/ –adjective, choosing to be involved in an illegal or questionable act, especially with others; having complicity.

The word was used in this context. Thanks for checking.

Leroy Fick aka The rich Democrat welfare rat

A. I already created a thread on this yesterday.

B. Where does it say he's a Democrat?
 
Yes it is the states fault, because that state has been run by liberals for so long.

It still doesn't diminish the image this asshole paints of himself and all other leeches of society.

Its like going to a casino and 90% of the people in there are senior citizens. All they do is gamble with their social security.

Social Security is different than food stamps. People who receive Social Security have been paying into for decades, and decades, and the generations starting to go on it now-their whole lives. I don't view Social Security as an "entitlement". When you're forced into a deal with the government-the government better uphold their end of it and give their money back in the form of social security. If somebody wants to gamble their money away-fine.

Yup....you still used it wrong. Unless you think they are involved. In which case you're just dumb.

What are you slow? Yes, they were involved by enabling him to do this.
