Without any paperwork, Grandpa started getting a $500 check every month. So Grandpa and Grandma started cashing them.
It turns out the government made a mistake with the address; the checks were intended for another person with the exact same name.
Grandpa then received a notice that he had to pay back $6,000. Visibly upset, he complained to his grandson, an accountant.
His grandson asked: "Grandpa, didn't you wonder why you were receiving checks for doing absolutely nothing?"
Grandpa answered: "I just assumed the Democrats were back in power.

It is interesting to know that a study was done and it found that over 37% of the people receiving government aide do not qualify and are able bodied to work a job.
Also in this study those who pulled themselves up by the boot straps and got an education and finally went to work told the welfare departments that they no longer needed the hand out and were chewed out. Some are still getting the checks FOR AS LONG AS THREE YEARS AFTER THEY TOLD THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES THAT THEY DON'T WANT IT ANY LONGER AS THEY HAVE A GOOD PAYING JOB AND ARE WORKING EVERY DAY!
It's your money--it's my money! These fools spend it like there is no tomorrow and worse it is wasted. The wasted money would more than take care of every handicapped person in this country. You have to know that the more money freed up and floating; the easier it is to skim and pocket.
If you start getting tax increases think about this BS. If we don't write your representatives about this mess then why in the world don't we just send the Democratic party our next pay check and tell them to give it someone who won't work or to simply pocket it and use it as they see fit. Same difference. These morons do not generate a cent. They take our money and piss it away. So in the future and at anytime you will see tax increases. Remember this one when you get a hit.
