Welfare Benefits for Strip Clubs

[chanel]

OLYMPIA --State lawmakers are proposing new restrictions on where welfare recipients can spend their taxpayer funded cash. This follows a KING 5 investigation that uncovered millions of tax dollars withdrawn at local casinos. Now, lawmakers are setting their sights on other “adults only” businesses.

A bill sponsored by Senator Mike Carrell, R-Lakewood, would ban the use of cash cards, used to distribute welfare benefits, at strip clubs, tattoo parlors, gun shops and taverns.

“As you know from your investigations last summer, these cards are being misused," said Carrell

Cash welfare benefits, distributed monthly on debit cards known as EBT cards, are supposed to be used only for the care of needy children and the disabled.

The KING 5 Investigators used ATM transaction records to track an estimated $2 million in welfare cash withdrawals at casinos in Washington over the course of one year.

KING 5 quickly found withdrawals at ATMs in other adult businesses, as well.

Hey. Even the poor deserve lap dances every now and then, right. It's under the "General Welfare" clause or something.

I use my EBT card for lap dances.

In an unrelated opinion I would like to see Food Stamps restricted from candy gum soda cake and pie potato chip et al.

Me too Mr. Fitnah. According to the article, the only thing that's banned is gambling. And I think that's new. Time for more restrictions, eh?

I'd love to see these people charged with STEALING FROM THEIR OWN CHILDREN!!!!!

In the trailer parks everyone uses their welfare checks on ciggarretts and beer.

Food stamps should buy bread and water only.

Apparently strippers' kids don't count as children in the eyes of the state legislature.

Hell it's the poor strippers that need the assistance.


Poor girls have to go to work half naked....

Welfare grows the economy.

Puhleez. Wouldn't surprise me if some of these strippers pull in six figures - tax free cash. I'd like to see them audited as well.

When you show up with quarters instead of dollars, you take what they'll give you.

Or rolls of pennies. I don't see how that little string would hold them though.

Average stripper income in Vegas is around $250K but they spent more than what they make usually, stripper income can vary depending where they work, obviously a stripper in the boonies in Wisconsin wont make as much as one in Las Vegas or Los Angeles.
