Cities begin to challenge a bedrock of justice: They’re paying criminals not to kill - The Washington Post

The article does not come right out and say you must be black to apply for a monthly stipend, but it is easy to get that idea from reading it. It also does not mention if the program is open to the 87 other government-defined minority classes.

As a retiree, I sometimes have trouble making ends meet and have written Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to see if I can be made an honorary black so I can get in on the gravy train. If the standard payment is $1000/mo for each murder I don't commit, I plan to not commit at least 3 or 4 murders per month. I'm also thinking of asking for payment for each robbery I decline to commit.

You have to love a country that can come up with such a wonderful way to make a living.

It sure beats working.

Let's say I break into your house...

A lady wrote the best letter in the Editorials in ages!!! It
explains things better than all the baloney you hear on TV.

Her point:

Recently large demonstrations have taken place across the country
protesting the fact that Congress is finally addressing the issue of
illegal immigration.

Certain people are angry that the US might protect its own borders,
might make it harder to sneak into this country and, once here, to
stay indefinitely.

Let me see if I correctly understand the thinking behind these protests.

Let's say I break into your house.

Let's say that when you discover me in your house, you insist that I leave.

But I say, 'No! I like it here. It's better than my house. I've made
all the beds and washed the dishes and did the laundry and swept the
floors. I've done all the things you don't like to do. I'm
hard-working and honest (except for when I broke into your house) .

According to the protesters:

You are Required to let me stay in your house.
You are Required to feed me.
You are Required to add me to your family's insurance plan.
You are Required to Educate my kids.
You are Required to Provide other benefits to me & to my family.
My husband will do all of your yard work because he is also
hard-working and honest. (except for that breaking in part).

If you try to call the police or force me out, I will call my friends
who will picket your house carrying signs that proclaim my RIGHT to be
there.

It's only fair, after all, because you have a nicer house than I do,
and I'm just trying to better myself. I'm a hard-working and honest,
person, except for well, you know, I did break into your house.

And what a deal it is for me!!!

I live in your house, contributing only a fraction of the cost of my
keep, and there is nothing you can do about it without being accused
of cold, uncaring, selfish, prejudiced, and bigoted.
Oh yeah, and I DEMAND that you learn MY LANGUAGE! So that you can
communicate with me.

-------------------------------------------------
Why can't people see how ridiculous this is?
Until the next election and Trump has a chance to "Make America Great
Again" (MAGA) it is populated and governed by idiots.

If you agree, pass it on (in English).

If not, blow it off...along with your future Social Security funds
...and a lot of the former benefits of being an American Citizen.

You have to feel sorry for the Clintons

THIS IS WHAT "BEING BROKE" LOOKS LIKE !

Welcome to the Clintons' $11 Million Dollar Mansion in New York State

Hillary Rodham Clinton, as a New York State Senator now comes under this fancy "congressional retirement staffing plan" which means that if she never gets re-elected, she STILL receives her Congressional salary until she dies.

If Bill out-lives her, he then inherits HER salary until he dies. He is already getting his Presidential salary ($20,000 a month) until he dies. If Hillary out-lives Bill, she also gets HIS salary until she dies, Guess who pays for that? WE DO!

Clinton's 20 Acre - $11 million mansion is common knowledge. For her to establish NY residency, they purchased this mansion in upscale Chappaqua, New York....makes sense. They are entitled to Secret Service protection for life. Still makes sense.

Here is where it becomes interesting.

Their mortgage payments are around 10,000/month. But an extra residence had to be built by the government on the acreage to house the Secret Service Agents. Any improvement to the property is owned by the property owners...the Clinton's. So....the Clinton's charge the federal government $10,000 monthly rent for the use of the extra residence to house the Secret Service staff which is just about equal to their mortgage payment.

He is the ONLY ex-president to use this loophole, thus earning the name 'Slick Willie'.

This means that we, the taxpayers, pay the Clinton's, salary, mortgage, transportation, safety and security as well as the salaries for their 12 man staff and it is all perfectly legal.

AND DON'T FORGET HIS GOVERNOR'S PENSION AND HER SECRETARY OF STATE PENSION…..
