It’s no secret that modern America has become an age of entitlement, with many coming to believe that they should be given free money without having to invest time, energy, and effort into working or creating products that enrich the lives of others.
This is a perfect explanation for how Barack Obama got elected president. He promised a bunch of free stuff and lazy folks came out of the woodwork to cast their votes, essentially sanctioning theft from the rich to give to the poor.
A good example of this entitlement mindset is the scam a young mother has been pulling on California residents involving her son and a Mercedes Benz. This will seriously make you blow a gasket.
From NY Daily News:
A pregnant panhandler, a boy and a Benz— that’s what one woman saw this week that caused her to suddenly stop pumping her gas and follow a woman and child as they drove off in the luxury vehicle.
Melissa Smith said in an ABC 15 reportthat she had seen them beg for change outside a shopping center in Chula Vista, Calif., every weekend for two months. The woman held up a sign that read “please help” and on weekends, a man— perhaps her boyfriend or husband, she speculated —would join her.
Smith didn’t think much of it until recently, when she saw the woman and boy leave the scene and hop into a Mercedes Benz driven by the man.
“Here they are counting money, laughing and their little boy is not in a car seat or seat belt,” she said. “He’s all the way in the front seat with them.”
The vehicle drove to another nearby shopping plaza and she began collecting more money.
Smith was yelled at by the woman once she realized photos were being taken of her. The license plate number of the Benz that Smith obtained by following the woman was associated with an apartment complex in Escondido that reportedly costs approximately $2,500 per month for a unit there.
When I look at her modus operandi, the woman is most likely one of our politicians.
ReplyDeleteThis has been going on for years. Panhandlers in NYC average 200 bucks a day.
ReplyDeleteAll that ''spare change'' adds up fast. ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe's a true American. Her examples were U.S. politicians. Can you get more American than this? Lying and deception? Nothing should happen to her, she should be given an award by the U.S. government for being exactly like them.
ReplyDeleteHere in Toronto Ontario--Welfare so good--free apartment + $300 per month, Food banks no questions asked, Pan handling by sleeping on the sidewalks during the day, City has 17 lunch trucks with syringes and needles and free condones and 4 + bus subway tickets and free medical care-- for extra money-- a paper cup and sleeping bag and pretend poor and haggered and stupid citizens fill the cup up with cash and leave food packages as extra :^(
ReplyDeleteI'm changing jobs. If they can afford a 2,500.00 a month apartment I'm working way to hard at the honest job I do.
ReplyDeleteProbably not even her kid. The guy I saw holding a puppy really raked it in that day. He went to his motorhome with a big bag of heroin that night.
ReplyDeleteif she's not holding a sign with a lie on it, what's the problem? If she's just asking for money for no reason other than wanting money, and people give it to her without asking why, then good for her for getting money.
ReplyDeleteno harm done.
