Funny thing, skim cost more than 2% and whole. I only buy skim milk. No wonder the poors are so fat.

The other day I was at the grocery store and I see this brand new Cadillac Escalade pull up and about 50 Mexicans pile out. Even though I'm a single white male I coincidentally end up behind them in the grocery line with their four shopping carts, three of which are filled with beer. And as I see them pay for their 800 dollar bill I see them reach for their Lonestar card™.

seriously every time i hear this story they might change some of the details but there's always, always, the loving escalade. by this point im wondering if the racist assholes are onto something and there's secretly a program that lets you buy this particular model with food stamps but only if youre not white and thats why apparently literally every food stamp having minority has an escalade

If you've never earned enough to be required to file taxes, you may very well have been eligible for tax benefits. Worth filing the return for a chance at bux.

I plan to live forever, of course, but barring that I'd settle for a couple thousand years. Even 500 would be pretty nice.

Poverty: the Game is a next-gen turn-strategy game developed by the same studio that gave you Survive. It realistically portrays a life of poverty in America's most impoverished locations, with classics like:
Appalachia
South Central
Detroit
Hell's Kitchen
Oakland
Compton
South Chicago
and numerous depressed small towns!
Reviews:
-IGN 9/10 "It's so realistic, it's like I finally know what it's like to be black!"
-Forbes 7/10 "A shallow attempt to pander anti-free market solutions, but engaging gameplay. I noticed that the welfare checks provided were grossly underestimated and that there were too few plasma screen tvs in people's houses".

I saw a panhandler making bank by cradling, rocking and kissing an orange cat, while surrounded by dishes of cat food. I gave him 50 cents but then felt bad because that cat was clearly drugged.

if you want fat bank in the US train some raccoons to do tricks.

alternatively if you dress in a nice suit and pretend you are rich people will also just hand you money if you ask because they know their betters when they see them.

Also (any local paper) did an expose on those panhandlers you see begging at the intersection, it turns out that every single one of them makes one million tax-free dollars a day and still collect welfare entitlements.
