I went to the ROXIES supermarket in QUINCY MASSACHUSETTS today and stood inline behind 4 IRAQ muslims with BERKA's covering their head. First they paid for all sorts of food with a MASSACHUSETTS free food WELFARE card - ANd they all had one... I don't like that, but not a problem.... Then, I bought my few items ( paid cash ) and walked out. The the KICKER!!!! They were parked right next to me in like a 2006 BMW 7 series... They were driving an $85,000 dollar car!!!!! Meanwhile, I work and pay my taxes and for my own food and drive an old NEON!!! WTF!!! HELP, I'm pissed!

Only in America right?!? I think we should do away with the food stamps. I can't help you as far as you being ticked, maybe start writing your Representatives......next time you see them copy down their plate number, track them down and turn them in for welfare fraud.

Vote, vote, vote , vote, vote, let the elected officials know how you feel. It is really the only thing you can do. The fact is, is that even what they are making from the govt. assistance they still could not afford that car. They are selling drugs or something illegal. To me the fact that they are foreign has nothing to do with it, there are many different races living off our tax dollars that are living much higher than they should be.

I am with you... I lost my job and was denied food stamp... I was having a hard time finding a new job... any job... I have no family where I am... I went for assistance with fod, rent and health (I am bi-polar and would be losing my meds.)
They gave me $150 of food stamps a month but told me because I was not pregnant or a single mom they could not help me with anything else. Or I would have to have my Dr. declare me disabled and I could collect up to $600 a month... all I wanted to do was pay rent and bills and be healthy for a month or 2 while I found a job... or go back to school or something... but NO HELP FROM THE STATE....

DON'T BITE YOUR TONGUE!!! You live in a country where you have freedom of speech...use that right in a powerful way! Internet is a start...now, contact your senators, congressmen, governor and demand to know WHY this is happening. Too many people get a free ride on the backs of the working, tax-paying Americans

That would of upset me too. I have seen it before but it takes all kind of people not only immigrants, remember that people that are cheating the goverment are legal here in USA. Just take a ride through your local Housing Authority and count all the Lexus and other expensive cars.

LIER
and can you generalize a country based on 4 Iraq muslims?
And ya, to answer your question, I can understand how watching 4 Iraqi women take advantage of US Welfare would (instead of invoking patriotism within you) would make you HATE AMERICA!!

know how you feel, never seen that race of people use foodstamps, they all have money, around here. its mexicans here, that you see, pay for 3 carts of food with foodstamps or that card.dont know if they still call it foodstamps, then they pull a cart up loaded down with beer and wine, and pay for it with a roll of money that would choke a horse. then go out and get in a new suv . makes me mad too. and we get to pay for all that ****. or when they bring their kids in the doctors office, and them and the kids are decked out in brand name clothes. then they walk out, without paying a dime, because that was on us too.

It's great to live in the USA. Children whose family's have lived here for generations are homeless and hungry.

WELL, you see what political party has been in charge for the last 6 years. Don't seem like the repubs are any better then the dems at the supposedly "LIBERAL" stuff.
