Welfare income is not affected by money earned working under the table or selling drugs.
- coldtea 10y agoThere are tens of millions of recipients of welfare income. The idea that any statistical significant number of them is selling drugs is so out of touch with reality (and borderline racist, because it draws from minority stereotypes first and foremost) that it's not even funny.
- brbsix 10y agoOP wondered in what circumstances people have money for luxury goods yet still qualify for welfare, so I named two. I've come across plenty of people who receive some sort of public aid (e.g. subsidized housing, SNAP, Medi-Cal) who fall in the aforementioned categories. I don't have the slightest clue how representative they are and I don't really care one way or another. Whatever interpretations you make of this are yours alone.
