I can’t blame any successful hard working individual for being suspicious when it comes to individuals requesting public assistance. Public assistance is something that defines us as a civilized nation but we need to guard against the abuses of the system so that it retains it’s integrity and original intention, a short term safety net, not a permanent lifestyle.

Unfortunately there are individuals from all walks of life, economic and social strata that scam the system. From politicians to public safety to teachers to landscapers. Whether it be skimming tax dollars, cheating on overtime, or not reporting cash income, it is all the same. I guess we really need to guard against scamming in all “systems” and not just focus on what we may feel are just give sways.
