luxury watches for women on sale image

100% true story.

I was in the Walmart tonight and the line was really long. In front of me was a lady in a mink coat with an African braided hairdo, Louis Vuitton bag and a nail job that look like it took 10 hour to do -- she had an outfit on that looked like 3 mortgage payments. During this time in line, she was talking on her IPhone loudly. I tried to be nice but she kind of sneered at me -- I guess because I just finished working a 12 hour shift and stopped at the Walmart to buy some things on sale that I needed for the week -- even though money was tight and I had to economize because of my student loans, bills and living expenses. It is sometimes embarrassing to say that a trip to the Walmart for necessities is often hard and has to be put off -- though I do not complain because I have a job, it is often hard to life without luxuries.

So, as I watched this woman good naturedly looking amazing, I figured that she was a very successful lady indeed, having reached a high level of education and wealth to have such luxuries. Her cart was loaded to the brim with snacks and many luxury items as well -- soaps, creams, you name it.

Well, I happened to glance when I saw her scream at the cashier nastily when she was told that her "EBT" card would not cover a few of her items and she would have to pay cash. I first, I did not know what an EBT card was and then I realized, this lady was on food stamps paid for by money from the government which I could not qualify for. She then took a hundred dollar bill out of a wallet stuff to the filling point and threw it at the poor cashier and then swished out the door with her head held high, still her on Iphone and basking in her arrogance.

So, I paid for my miserable food and generic brand purchases and tried to shrug it off -- thinking maybe I was dreaming. As I went back to my USED car with 200,000 miles on it, I was struck by the nice gray Mercedes sedan and how nice it was. As I looked up, it was the lady from Walmart who used food stamps pulling out of the parking lot.

At this point, all I could think of was making a citizens arrest. If this lady sold her coat, her bag and her clothes, she could feed her family for months on "normal" foods. I was just so frustrated. I felt like throwing in the towel and joining her but I have no time for tears. I have to get up early to keep my job so I can stay off welfare and live in a substandard way.

Please, anyone, tell my why I should not be outraged. What can be done about this? I can only imagine her getting free rent, medical cards, Section 8 and maybe she had a baby in the oven to get even more.

God help my anger and frustration -- there must be something that can be some about these frauds.

Answer
you wanna talk about abuse of the system?

i once had a lady try to pay for an automotive repair with a foodstamp card.

the really bad thing is she didn't understand why her card couldn't work anyways because an auto repair is not a food item.

so what do you think on raising higher taxes?

L

everyone who has a kid and/or is married, got a tax cut. The tax increase democrats are passing is the highest in history, and all will suffer. Fact is, any tax increase hurts people with the least amount of money, tax increases don't really hurt rich people, they have plenty. People with little to moderate income are most hurt b/c they are usually barely making ends meet and taking more from them gives them less to save and spend.

Critics of the tax cutes predicted disaster, supporters the opposite, and now supporters have been proven right by more than three years of prosperity.

"The dividend rate would snap back to 39.6% from 15%, the capital gains rate to 20% from 15%, and the top marginal income tax rate to 39.6% from 35%. Marginal and average tax rates for the middle class would also increase, returning to the Clinton-era levies that had driven taxes as a share of GDP to a postwar high of 20.9%. "

"With an anticipated take of $400 billion over five years, the result would be a bigger tax increase than Bill Clinton's in 1993 -- the one that helped cost Democrats control of Congress the following year. "

"Come 2011, many families will be hit by a renewed marriage penalty. Consequently, 23 million Americans will then be hit with an average tax increase of $466. That same year, the child tax credit will be cut in half, costing 31 million Americans an average of $859 in more taxes."

"When the damage is tallied, 115 million working Americans would watch their taxes climb an average of $1,795, with 26 million small business owners being hit more than twice as hard at $3,960. The fact that these are average figures, incidentally, does not change the reality that taxes paid by middle-class families, not just the richest 1 percent, would be scheduled to go up under the Democratic plan."

"Taxpayers won't fare any better under the Senate's budget blueprint...[T]he plan championed by Democratic Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad would raise taxes by $2,641 per household over the next ten years."

Tax cuts work. They worked when JFK did it, when Reagan did it, and again when Bush did.

Here's what will happen if they eliminate the tax cut as planned:

... You're a family of four earning $60,000 a year: Your income-tax bill will rise 61% in 2011, from $3,030 to $4,893.

... You're an elderly couple earning $40,000 a year: Your taxes will go up by 156% in 2011, from $583 to $1,489.

... You're a woman: You could be one of the 83 million American women who could see their taxes rise by an average of $2,068.

... You're married: You could be one of the 48 million married couples who will pay an average of $2,899 more under the liberal tax increase.

... You have kids: 42 million families with children will pay an average of $2,181 more in taxes.

... You're a small-business owner: 26 million small-business owners will get a tax bill for an average of $3,960 more than before.

Democrats are socialists in liberal clothing. They want to be sure you keep less than half your money (when you add federal + state + local + sales + property, etc. taxes). The programs they use this money to support are ineffective.

Tax cuts let people keep more of the property they earned.

Fancy is a fabricator
"They [the wealthy] are using 95% of the PUBLIC resources, so they should be paying 95% of taxes" that is utter BS. This has been proven time and time again. Most of the money goes to entitlement programs, which the wealthy do not benefit from. People like Fancy must create fanciful lies because reality doesn't support their belief system, and rather than change, they lie. The rich pay the most and get the least.

The fact is that the effective federal tax rate (taxes as a share of income) has fallen for every income group over the last 20 years EXCEPT those with upper incomes.

For those in the bottom quintile (20 percent of the population), the tax burden has fallen from 8.3 percent in 1981 to 5.3 percent this year.

Those in the middle quintile saw a drop from 21.9 percent to 20 percent.

The other quintiles also saw a decline, except those in the top quintile, who saw an increase in their tax rate from 27.1 percent to 27.4 percent.
YOU FOOL ONCE WE TAX ON THE RICH THEY ARE GOING TO MOVE THEIR BUISNESSES ELSE WERE. THEN THE PEOPLE WORKING ON THOSE BUISNESSES WOULD NOT HAVE NOBODY PAYING THEM. THEN THE ECONOMY WILL GO DOWN

Answer
Raising taxes is liberal way of governance. More money for entitlements to buy their way into power. People are sick and tired of it. I know I am. There is a luxury subdivision not far from my home and it is stacked top to bottom with subsidized low income families. I've worked my ass off all of my life to have what I have and I can tell you now I will never ever be able to afford that type of housing, NEVER. When you do all the right things and you see crap like that and know YOU are the one paying for it, it boils your blood. The Dems get in and the first thing they start talking about it raising my taxes to pay for more useless BS programs. I can see the little money they do let me have flying right out of my pocket even as we speak.
