Should it not be "our" tax dollars? Last I checked I paid taxes.
As to watching Fox
President Obama himself told Joe the plumber he planned to spread the wealth.
Listen to about any speech he gives and you hear the class warfare rhetoric.
Walk in my shoes. Over the last 3 years while trying to provide affordable housing, I am currently owed $24,000 in rent, damages, late fees, court costs, etc.
I sold the business. I doubt I will see any of that money. Many of them were on gov't assistance. That just left me holding the bag while they live high.
It's not "your" taxes unless you live in San Antonio. I'm taxed by my local county via property taxes to pay for our County Community Hospital that provides free medical care to any indigent individual that walks in the door. It has nothing to do with my federal taxes.
"Burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me". Sounds like you don't understand the concept of screening potential renters or obtaining a first and second month's deposit before allowing them to enter the door. Or are you one of these slum barron's that flipped some multi-tenant apartment complex on the poor side of town looking for easy cash by renting to Section 8 families who received govt assistance, and you thought it was guaranteed money. How in the world anyone would let someone or multiple people run up a $24K bill before legally evicting them is beyond me. I own three rental houses myself. Mine are in neighborhoods that are middle to upper-middle class single residency homes. I've had my share of bad tenants, and a couple have left me with holding the bag on a months rent. But I have an excellent property management company that screens potential tenants, and I pay them a fee to not only keep track of the rent, but make any repairs needed to the homes that warrant normal wear and tear. My "bad tenant" percentage has been very minimal simply due to the fact these "Gov't assistance" families can't afford the rent.
