  - while I can see why most of the shroomery would hate you for turning them in - I can see why you do it.  THis is the problem with welfare:  those below the cutoff line are incentivized to stay below it, and those right above it (=bluejay) are disincentivized to work because they can do less and live much more comfortably while sucking from the State Tit

I don't get free money. They shouldn't either.

How are those college grants coming along? Are they helpful at paying tuition to your federally subsidized college?

---

Oh you mean the money I have to pay back or the money the college over-charges and probably shouldn't have to in the first place except they pay their employees for an entire year while they only work session half of it? Entire different can of worms, to be opened in a different thread.

If the college system isn't maintainable without federal grants that's a whole issue that needs to be addressed on it's own.

You're getting an education, you have a car, and a place to live. You say you struggle to keep food supplied yet you're buying a $40 halloween costume to go to a festival? Lol.

Exactly, all he can get from ratting on them is some type of satisfaction that their life will become harder Just doesn't sound nice.

It recently came to my attention that some people I know are not only using the food stamps, but doing it massively fraudulently. There are four of them, living in a trailer- up to their knees in their own filth, hardcore weed addicts, each with a job at a fast food place within walking distance. These people would put pot before food, seriously.

So, they already bring in a good amount of money and not having to pay for food, the trailer nets 400$ for food stamps each week. I had never thought about it before because they never had any food in the damn hellhole, but then this guy asks me if I want to buy out his vision card. Then it struck me:

Here I am, sitting here about to go work one of my three jobs, I can barely afford my rent, car insurance, bills, while I eat my last gala apple and try to pick through the canned goods in my pantry to figure out how I'm going to make it until next Thursday (hint: I'll be really hungry) and getting ready to borrow 40$ or so from a girl so I can get a costume for this crazy huge Halloween drunk fest before they all get sold. Meanwhile, three of four pseudohobos just bought the Droid 2.

What. The. Fuck. I work 3 jobs, about 60 hours a week, go to college, and have absolutely nothing to show for it every item I have of any value my parents helped me buy save sub-200$ items like my speakers, glass coffee table, bong, and those types of purchases are maybe once a year for me. Every time someone talks about college they tell me how unnecessary it is and how it's not required for everyone to make a decent wage anymore. Nice to tell me that after I've enrolled and got in debt so far that if I back out now my every living possession and all of my money will be forfeit. I can't even buy new shoes in good conscience, and there are these people with two PS3's doing a lan-championship on their two 40+" flatscreens that they bought with money that should have gone to bills, food, etc.

I turned them in. I hope they lose everything, they deserve nothing.

I don't see any difference between what the OP did and what a narc does.

My first conviction came from a shitty neighbour that believe smoking cannabis was wrong... didn't affect her... but it is illegal and she thought it was wrong then dobbed me in.

Interesting viewpoint, but I don't really agree that those two cases are the same.  Anyone who pays taxes should at least feel annoyed about this. Like I said, I don't think I personally would have turned them in but it is not cool that people who are on welfare can live better than people who work. Something should be done about it, but turning in 1 house doesn't help much.
