Because
I am in the X-Mass mood. Here's a heart warming story.
From
WHAS 11,
((A
Louisville woman is facing charges after police said she tried to buy
iPads with her food stamp card, and when it didn't work she ran from
the store.
))
This
happened in Louisville, my home town. Yep, even we are not spared from
these crazy people. Naturally, the food card was declined. So, she did
the only reasonable thing to do, she attacked a store clerk and made
a run for it with the iPads. Smooth move there, lady.
Oh,
and it gets better. Even after the cops were aware of her attack and
stolen property, she went to another Walmart and tried to buy more
iPads with her Food Stamps card. And, that's where the police
arrested her. So, I guess she will spend her X-mass in jail. At least she knows that she will get a few meals a day paid for by the government, without any iPads.
This
kind of stuff is the reason people have a backlash against government
assistance. People like this give it a bad name, and it further divides
people on the issue. Perhaps you should help pay for food for your family instead of trying to buy iPads for your folks. We have to set up a program that teaches people to live and work on their own and the government assistance is just that "assistance" to get you back on your feet, and not to attempt to buy iPads with.
Merry
Christmas to all...or Happy Holidays.
