“CASE OF BEER MAY END IN DEPORTATION,” Montreal Star. November 10, 1932. Page 4. --- COBALT, Ont., Nov. 10 - (CP) -Because he celebrated getting his name on the relief list by buying a case of beer, Toivo Wainonen is in jail facing deportation to his native Finland. Wainonen appeared at the Town Hall and succeeded in being listed for town help, during the winter. After he obtained the beer, he ran foul of the police who found he had never taken out naturalisation papers.

Mississippi is the state that diverted money meant to go to social welfare programs to build a volleyball stadium at a state university for Brett Favre’s daughter.

Mr. Brown’s act wasn’t just morally correct, it was a necessary reparation after the criminal action of the state.

I’m not saying it’s right, but I understand (x)

Once in a lifetime

Of course it happened in Biddeford. Okay, so maybe it could have happened in Sanford, Lewiston or Rumford but really – – what’s the difference? I’m speaking, of course, about the so-called sting video that was meant to prove rampant abuse of welfare benefits in Maine. The undercover, amateur video was shot in the Biddeford office of the Maine Department of Health & Human Services roughly six…

As the first sentence of the summary states, this bill is specifically going after people who abused pandemic benefits specifically. 220 Republicans and 10 Democrats voted for it, and I'd bet anything that all 10 of them did so because they wanted a piece of the ultimate irony that is the fact that George Santos voted in favor of this. This man was born without a functioning sense of irony.

In Mississippi they've long praised self-sufficiency and tend to condemn federal anti-poverty programs.

Given that, I'm sure you're shocked (shocked!) to hear that, instead of spending their federal welfare dollars on poor people, they've instead been giving it to rich people.

Seems self-sufficiency is only until you're rich enough to buy yourself access.

Every time I write letters to my local politicians I'm always prepared to have a vein rupture from how pissed off their response emails make me. I hate all politicians, but Texas politicians I hate you the most 🙃

"JAIL PENALTY FOR OBTAINING AID BY FRAUD," Winnipeg Tribune. July 11, 1933. Page 1. ---- "This is the very sort of case I have been trying to stop for some time," declared Magistrate Graham, in city police court today, when sentencing William J. Robbins. alias McInnes, to three months in jail for defrauding the city relief department.

Robbins pleaded guilty to obtaining food vouchers to the value of $118 and $98 cash by fraud. The court was told that Robbins, who has a wife and eight children living out of the city, was obtaining relief while living with another woman. When authorities discovered he was not married to this woman he was taken off relief. He then re- registered under the name of McInnes and again began getting re- lief for himself and the woman he was living with.

Why the trope of the benefit “scrounger” has returned

“Everything is dark. A siren yelps, drums kick in, police in riot helmets march up a stairwell, and a man – his head out of shot – zips up a black stab vest marked ‘DWP’.

“It’s Tom Pursglove, a Tory minister of the Matt Hancock aesthetic (Foxtons Tintin), tabard strapped over his suit, standing beside a tree. Brow furrowed, he quasi-quotes Liam Neeson’s ex-CIA maverick in the 2008 film Taken: ‘We will track you down. We will find you. And we will bring you to justice.’ ...

“This is the Department for Work and Pensions’ latest campaign warning against welfare fraud. It was tweeted from the department’s account last Thursday morning, with a take-on-Taken caption: ‘At DWP we have a very particular set of skills that we use in conjunction with the police to tackle fraud.’

“The focus on benefit cheats is disproportionate to the reality. Fraud amounted to just 3 per cent of welfare payments in 2020-21, or £6.5bn. This looks even less significant when you compare it with tax fraud: the ‘tax gap’ between what is owed and what is collected (of which fraud is a large part) is at 5.1 per cent, costing the government £42bn a year. Fraudulent Covid loans, meanwhile, cost the UK £17bn – most of which the government does not expect to recover.”

Form an LLC and defraud the government, it's what the U.S. was founded on. It only requires a small amount of self-education. An LLC makes fraud legal.
