People who worked for it, and people supposedly too poor to afford it. I get the first group, the other should NOT have it.<br /><br />If we're going to have welfare, then the people receiving it should have some strictures on their spending. You can't convince me that you can be "poor" AND eat, live indoors AND spend money on luxury items. I understand needing a coat or a hat. But having a $275 Lakers jacket doesn't keep you warmer than a $75 plain jacket or coat. No one NEEDS a NY Yankees hat. Yes people need shoes, but do HS kids, or younger, need $200 shoes?<br /><br />And while I'm at it, how do people who are "poor", afford cell phones with all the bells and whistles?<br /><br />It can't ALL be stolen from Wal-Mart.Schteveohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09858448206004352619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324757993202351018.post-86884134625043059392011-02-15T10:28:01.803-08:002011-02-15T10:28:01.803-08:00Yeah, but only one group actually bought and paid ...Yeah, but only one group actually bought and paid for that stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324757993202351018.post-54858077042261679422011-02-15T08:37:42.319-08:002011-02-15T08:37:42.319-08:00They DO have money!!

It says a lot about family values, doesn't it.<br /><br />I've always wondered why these big box stores place themselves in so-called poor neighborhoods. Do they feel that the less money people have the more they buy? <br /><br />Then there's the problem of theft. And since these stores always hire locals, (thanks to intimidation, threats, etc.) including their security staff, it's not only the customers that are picking the place clean. Apparently, there's still enough left over as to make it worth the trouble.Spidernoreply@blogger.com
