CAMELOT FANTASIES

I want to RANT AND RAVE......

When my husband passed away, I had no job.... I was a housewife.  With 3 children, and the eldest having a part time, I decided to start my own childcare and  it was enough to pay the bills and put food on the table, but I had to make do without many things and often made sacrifices to make ends meet. I had neighbors, the husband worked and made pretty bucks and the wife worked in a clinic.   Every day they knocked at my door, "Can I get some bread?", Can I get milk?", "Do you have any sugar I can borrow," (yeah...like you're going to bring me back my sugar)", "Do you have tomato sauce?"....it was endless, and I never said no.  They would come have coffee in the mornings.  There were time I even cooked dinner for them and their children!

UNTIL.....I find out that they were both working off the books, she was receiving Section 8 (a government program that pays a portion of the rent based on your income), she was on public assistance (which paid the rest of the rent that Section 8 didn't cover), plus they send her enough to pay her utility and cable bill......and they got at least 600. every month in food stamps.  Basically, what they earned in working was for their luxury of weed and high tech equipment. They were scheming the system!

And here I was struggling....and feeding them!  It really bothers me to see people doing things like this and getting away with it!

In time they lost everything...even their apartment. So.....they didn't really get away with it after all.
