Welfare/Food Stamp Fraud

This is more of a rant than a question, but I would like to hear about your experiences. Below are just 2 of the examples I see or hear about on the regular.

1. I stood in line at the gas station watching the lady in front of me buy overpriced, chips, fountain drinks and candy bars with her food stamp card. Then she proceeded to pull out a wad of cash to pay for her 4 packs of Marlboro's and her $20 dollar scratch off.

2. Overhearing my wife's conversation with a cousin and I hear about the cousin's afternoon out with the her 6 kids. The went to Defy (a trampoline amusement park), had slushies and snacks, bought the required socks, and finished up with lunch at KFC. For dinner they dined on lobster tail and steak. You know, Surf and Turf on food stamps. This family lies to the government. They were never married and claim on paper to have separate residences so they qualify for over $1200 dollars a month in food stamps.

I work 2 jobs to pay the mortgage. Something has to be done to fix this system.

Do I report my cousin in laws for welfare fraud?

No. That’s NOT bitterness talking. It’s truth!
