For what? Owning expensive cars? No law against that. I have heard some of them talking about where the best place is to "exchange" food stamps. Again, is that against the law? A majority of the people are just down on their luck at the present time, but there are some that have been around for as long as I have worked there - 2 -3 years. If you haven't done any volunteer work with the poor, David, you should try it. It is an eye opener in both a positive and a negative way. Go Israel Dave, RWC (Happy New Year - my last post of 2008. We're outahere.) So you see corruption but you do nothing about it, except move into a Perry Mason persona. Stealing from the government is a crime, trust me. If you don't have the cojones to report it in person, you can do it anonymously via one of the fraud hot lines. And since you insist . . . . As per working with the poor, I'll match my years, both volunteer and paid, fixing programs and rooting out cheaters, (mostly among administrators and upper middle class people by the way,) some of whom were also vague about their understanding that government property was not their personal property. My current Mother Teresa gig in this regard is raising fresh food for the "Helpline/Fishline" food bank. In season we raise mostly green beans, squash, peppers, eggplant, some greens, and corn enough for deliveries about once a week July-September, and lots of apples from late August - October. Its something, but pathetic compared to what society and this country have given to me. Next year we will do more and maybe pop for a pig or half a cow from my lessee. As I am sure you are aware food banks are shortest on fresh foods. I should and can do more.
