Wearing tens of thousands of dollars in assets.
It's that time of the month when the Wealthy Welfare Recipients walk the catwalk in the stores and flaunt their $1,000 in benefits.
Some of their shopping carts are full of products that the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., wants to ban.[1]
I don't understand how someone who wears expensive designer clothes, $500 designer bags, and tens of thousands in jewelry can qualify for welfare?!
They also sport a deluxe manicure that costs hundreds of dollars, and a smartphone that costs $1,000. They look more powerful than an Egyptian goddess!
Doesn't this program have asset limits, and doesn't the IRS and local states require people to report their income? I don't know anyone who works 40 hours per week who can afford this amount of luxury items.
To make matters worse, some of these people arrogantly block the entire walking path in an aisle, while the working class, who pay for their free benefits, need to wait. One of the people waiting was wearing nurse scrubs, so they were probably on their way to do important work.
The only section that's not frequently obstructed is the vegetable and fruit section. This section should be the busiest.
