YOUR TAX MONEY AT WORK …. AGAIN
This particular government outrage comes from Seattle. They had a bit of an earthquake up there. It happened around February 28th and is known thereabouts as the Nisqually Earthquake.
OK, this Nisqually Earthquake is of little importance to you, right? Relatively minor, right? Nope. Wrong.
This earthquake provides us with an excellent lesson on just what happens when a government can take the money you have earned at the point of a gun and then have no accountability too you whatsoever for how that money is spent.
The night before the earthquake about 75 urban outdoorsmen (that would be “homeless men” to the more sensitive among you) spent the night at the Compass Center in Seattle. The Compass Center is a shelter near Pioneer Square. The next day the Compass Center was destroyed in the earthquake. That meant these urban campers had to find another shelter to run to the next evening.
A night or so after the earthquake one urban outdoorsman told his buddies that he had heard on television that the federal government was handing out checks to displaced residents. All you had to do was call a toll-free number! Hell, they were displaced, weren’t they? The shelter they had stayed in the night before the quake was gone! Word spread like wildfire. Homeless men started claiming displaced status ….
So, guess what? You got it! Checks are being handed out. They’re not saying just how many have gone to the urban outdoorsmen … but dozens have already received their checks. How much? Well, how is $1,200 for starters? That’s what the feds say two months rent is worth in Seattle. Many homeless men have also received additional checks for over a thousand additional dollars for stuff they claim they left at the Compass Center and couldn’t recover after the quake.
And the Democrats say we can’t afford a tax cut.
