<div style="BACKGROUND: white" class="yiv731184917MsoNormal"><span style="COLOR: #1f497d">It’s sad when it appears that some people (Mitt among
them?) are wracked with terror that most everybody who gets government help is
on welfare so they can somehow scam the system, take advantage of it, or make
their comfy livings by leveraging the welfare system. Funny, I have personally
never seen that sort of thing happening, though I suppose it’s just a matter of
odds that somebody out there is happy to just take their single mom government
checks and then sit on the beach in Cancun sipping Margaritas all day, saving up
to buy a big yacht without lifting a finger to improve their lot in life. The
last person I saw paying for food with food stamps at Safeway certainly didn’t
look like they were doing anything along those lines. So, are there any hard
figures out there that demonstrate how many bona fide ‘leeches’ are among the
U.S. government assistance recipients-- well-off, fat and sassy-- actively
finagling the system so can *<b>avoid</b>* ever having to have a real job?
Loaded question, I know. But hey, Mitt, there might be a couple of people out
there like that, ok…. that’s maybe just the cost of doing business.</span><span style="COLOR: black"></span></div></div>
