Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops

Strippers gotta eat too

Strippers make WAAAAAAY more than the max to qualify for these programs.

They don't have to claim all of their tips.. Who can prove otherwise how much they took in? NO ONE. Most service industry employee's who work for tips know they don't have to claim all them.

Welfare recipients take out cash at strip clubs, liquor stores and X-rated shops​

Kate Briquelet

They’re on the dole — and watching the pole.

Welfare recipients took out cash at bars, liquor stores, X-rated video shops, hookah parlors and even strip clubs — where they presumably spent their taxpayer money on lap dances rather than diapers, a Post investigation found.

A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx.

The state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA), which oversees the “cash assistance program,” even lists some of these welfare-ready ATMs on its Web site.

One EBT machine is stationed inside Club Eleven, an infamous Hunts Point jiggle joint known as much for its violent history as its girls in pink thongs

Let them eat each other...not our taxpayers money.

I don't think they are allowed to do that.

Maybe a little kissing

Like I said losers and idiots. Let's give them free money.

I know I know but that was not the point. He said that they needed to eat too. I was just pointing out that strippers have no problem eating.

Liberals don't care, they feel their fellow scum are entitled to your money.

Pelosi even claims welfare stimulates the economy.....take money from the private sector so that the public sector can give it to poor people wasting money on gutter stuff.

*******************************************************************************************************

- During the economic expansion between 2002 and 2007, the income of the top 1% grew 10 times faster than the income of the bottom 90%. In this period 66% of total income gains went to the 1%, who in 2007 had a larger share of total income than at any time since 1928.

- Since 1979 the average pre-tax income for the bottom 90% of households has decreased by $900, while that of the top 1% increased by over $700,000, as federal taxation became less progressive.

Just another example of an orchestrated attempt to demonize the other 90% of Americans.

Apparently those "scum" may be useful when it comes to storming the beaches of Normady and Iwo Jima during wartime, otherwise they should relegated to the "gutter!"

More people cheat on their taxes than poor welfare fools buy junk.

The ladies in the glass houses always protest too much

Cheating on one's taxes is the same as stopping someone from stealing my car.
I paid for it.
Welfare parasites do not pay for anything.

Atlanta has some of the best strip clubs in the world.
Good "dancers" there make 3K a week easy.

Uh what????

So you think the men that stormed the beaches in France during WWII are like scum like you using their welfare debit cards at strip clubs, casinos, bars????

You are fucked in the head....

As someone that dated a stripper in my single days....they don't need welfare after most of them pocket hundreds to thousands out of view of the IRS each year. Hell, many of them probably take welfare from one state while they work clubs in another state.

 

[Inthemiddle]

Lie huh?

Care to explain why CA made it illegal to use their welfare debit cards at casinos, strip clubs, etc.....oh you can't, idiot.

This is bullshit this lie has been spun before.

It's California. They're power obsessed libtards. They'll make laws just so they can gamble over what the final vote tallies will be.

Rumor has it that there were no welfare debit cards in the 40's but many of those who fought and died in WW2 were unemployed during the 1930's - the same unemployed you hold in such distain!

You got what you voted for. Don't complain now.

From the NY Post link in the OP:

A database of 200 million Electronic Benefit Transfer records from January 2011 to July 2012, obtained by The Post through a Freedom of Information request, showed welfare recipients using their EBT cards to make dozens of cash withdrawals at ATMs inside Hank’s Saloon in Brooklyn; the Blue Door Video porn shop in the East Village; The Anchor, a sleek SoHo lounge; the Patriot Saloon in TriBeCa; and Drinks Galore, a liquor distributor in The Bronx.

So out of 200 million records, they only found dozens that involved porn or booze?

What is the solution? This:

State Sen. Tom Libous (R-Binghamton) passed a bill in his chamber in June that would outlaw welfare withdrawals at gambling dens, strip clubs and other venues of vice, but the measure is gathering dust in the Democratic-controlled Assembly.

One gathers the NY Post does not like Democrats...

Okay, so we should ban the ability to get EBT cash in "gambling dens" (what a wonderfully subjective choice of words for a casino ), strip clubs and "other venues of vice".


But wait! In their haste to prove the only purpose for taking out money in a "venue of vice" was to watch hookers and buy booze, the NY Post exposed the flaw in this plan:

West Village tobacco shop Shisha International had EBT transactions ranging from $40 to $180 in 2011. The store is near at least two EBT-friendly ATMs.

So you ban getting EBT cash in a strip joint. Big deal. There's an EBT-friendly ATM close by. I think the leeches will figure out a solution to not being able to use their EBT in a strip club, don't you?

My friend's wife put herself through school as a stripper. She also bought (with cash) a new Audi A4, saved a downpayment on a house, and put together a nice IRA. Dancing full-time, $3K a week for her was pretty typical. (Her being a beautiful almost-6' redhead certainly helped.)

She's a CPA now..."Blaze" has been more or less retired.

They can get cash at any ATM that supports EBT. Your point?
It's not like they can use the card at a Strip Club etc.
But I do love it when people try to make a big deal about this sort of thing.

If this were really true don't you think all those perverts in the GOP would drop out and go on welfare? just think...no more working to pay for trips to Venezuela to see strippers, no more foot tapping in airport mens rooms, no more whips and chains at expensive late night clubs in NYC and DC...

 

[Avatar4321]

I'm fine with states baring ATMs at those locations, and many have.

Although it seems you've completely overlooked the possibility that strippers, and liquor store employees are using the closest ATM to their job to withdraw cash.

Do you know what strippers get paid? They wouldnt be on welfare
