Welfare King's Neocon Daughter
The following are a couple of messages I received from a friend:
---------------------------
Just had a debate with a baby neocon who lives here in the area. She was bitching about poor people getting food stamps and health care and then admitted that her father, who runs a construction company, has been collecting unemployment checks for the past three years!

When I informed her that that was welfare fraud she screamed that I was judging her. I then let her know that by placing this statement on Facebook, all 113 people on our mutual friends' list could read about her dad and turn him in.

It now appears that she either blocked me or left FB. I kinda hope that she just blocked me 'cause that would mean the evidence is still up.

Can you imagine her dad's reaction when the cops tell him they found out about him because her daughter was bitching about people getting government assistance.
-------------------------
After I suggested that she turn him in, here's the following:

-------------------------
Already made the call. Left a message explaining the situation and gave his name. They'll cross check his SSN on his small business permit against the unemployment records.

At first I questioned turning him in since he has employees but since he has partners the company won't go under.

She works for a home construction company and was talking about the things that he buys her. (Now remember, she's an adult.) I asked her how she feels about receiving gifts that come from stolen money. No answer other than to block me.

1. You did right
You can't let a culture of moral poverty develop in that family.

7. To bitch about the needy getting assistance,
and be proud of getting taxpayer money one doesn't need...

I hope this destroys them. Then they will need food stamps

8. Someone I know keeps getting UI extensions, but . . .
. . . I don't think she's trying too hard to look for work. Yet if it were her hated "minorities" or "illegals" doing the same thing, she'd be all over it.

I'm embarrassed to admit she's my cousin.

:rant:

9. Good job
I've always detested neo-con hypocrisy and intellectual dishonesty, esp. since I'm in one of their favorite demographic target groups. Not only that, the corporate crooks can steal factors more money than an army of welfare recipients, and they have nothing to say about that. :shrug:

10. K&R!
The only reason the neocon rightwingers are upset is because now the light is shining on their thievery. They don't want their gravy train to come to an end. This is what they do they blame other people for what they are doing.
