A New American Way of Life

I think you just posted a bunch of bogus talk radio propaganda.

It’s well documented that a single parent with no income and two dependent children can receive $40,000 – $50,000 in various benefits.

So what?

Are we better letting the parent and children live in destitution and beg on the corners?

Hope they figure out how to find five other parents in the same boat so they can run 7×24 shifts taking turns worker and then watching the kids?

If you really want to see what a guy looks like that sucks the government money, take a good look at Elon Musk. SpaceX, privatized space launches with nasa still footing the bill for their blunders, Solar City? Rebates, tax incentives, not to mention the green energy mandates that will massively increase your bills and finally tesla, the same and every one of the people driving one. There’s no shortage of other less likable guys getting paid millions for everything from crop subsidizes to have wild mustangs on their ranch or the landlords extorting tenants on section 8

Any small business owner buying a “heavy” vehicle, like the Tesla SUV, yup, one fell swoop tax credit for nearly half the amount the OP complains about.

Yes, let’s whine about kids getting a gallon of milk while people buying $100,000 car pick up massive benefits

Very well said NSR. I totally agree. Not to mention all the wealthy people who get tax credits for buying Tesla. I have no issue with poor people getting some help. It’s another thing entirely for wealthy people/companies to get government handouts.

I’ve seen it over and over again where the dad buys a house for their baby’s mom to live in (once their baby is born) and pays their utilities until their maternity leave is over and the mom goes back to work. The rent-value of the house is right at or close to the value of the child support which would be ordered. This works very well for workplace romances in which the dad is currently married to someone else, has a “reputation” to keep up and wants to keep the whole sorry saga out of a custody battle and away from wagging tongues at work. The new mom signs a gag order to remain mum about the dad to co-workers and moves into the house. The kid eventually reaches the age of 18 at which time the dad steps in to help with college expenses. To do so, the mom voluntarily moves out of the house (or is legally evicted) and the dad rehabs a little and sells the house for a very handsome profit, giving him college funds for his (extra) kid and much more.

The dad’s “cuckolded” spouse at home, saddled with 2-4 kids of her own, goes along with the program, of course, to maintain her and her kids “lifestyle” … even taking care of the extra kid when he/she comes visiting.

Only one single mom that I know of moved out of the house the (married) dad provided her before their kid turned 18 …. to get married herself and move into her new spouse’s house. The rest stayed single and got free rent in a SFR in SD County for 18 years!

These machinations by the parents are a very popular form of “child support” among the movers and shakers of society … especially legal professionals. The dad ends up making a profit out of the deal (after owning the home and paying taxes and insurance on it long-term, of course). These deals are very, very common.
