I'm afraid to open the link because I already imagine what our tax dollars are doing now and it makes me nauseous, after learning about some of the insane things this money has been spent on before
First........ I need to address the Post title ........... Poor choice of words.
Yes, I watched the Judge Judy video and it was a simple case of two welfare/assistance going up against each other. Really a common occurrence on the "judge" type shows. Sensationalism sells as entertainment and that is really a sad note.
Wow I got in before this thread got itself locked.
This story is not news, if you are unaware that this is what some people on government assistance are doing then now you know.
I personally have seen much worse abusers. A common scam is to claim the children of someone on well-fare on your taxes. A lady I work with got caught doing this because she was claiming 14 children. The most alarming part is the people I spoke too who said she was stupid because they would never have caught her if she only claimed 8 or less. I guess more than 8 sets off a flag in the IRS (Maybe its not 8 but you get the idea) It was her own fault for being greedy!!
