[QUOTE="bilboben, post: 1581656, member: 8432"] People are smarter than you think. There are many who play the system (and their ranks are swelling). They work long enough (usually 4 to 6 months) during the year to ensure they make a paycheck, so that the taxes are taken out and keep qualifing for SS, but never to exceed 20k. They then quite (laid off, because that project ended) and travel around earning cash wages on odd jobs all while drawing unemployment until the next year, when it starts all over again. This "low" yearly wage allows them to participate in all the entitlement programs. This is your working poor that we hear so much about. I admit they work their a$$es off when they want to, but it is on their time and they could not do it without Uncle Sam facilitating it. [/QUOTE]
