Multi Millionaires apply for welfare everyday, they just change the name to pull the wool over your eyes. Accountability is the hardest thing in this world, and the easiest at times. As a whole this country lacks accountability!
Race is in it because some guy went HAM on the racial innuendo. Look, if you want to bitch about welfare - fine, I get it. However, lets focus on the big fish and not the small ones.

If you want to bitch about welfare, bitch about corporations.

Everyone is gaming the system - I just prefer to worry about those that really fuck the system vs. those that barely make a drop in it. I could care less that some poor family is getting food stamps - I do care that corporations (foreign and domestic) banks, some of their CEO's and equity shareholders are Large majority takers of welfare benefits.
