See, its guys like this that we as taxpayers have to keep up. He goes to the Foodstamp Office as always to lie cheat and steal for more Foodstamps. He probably doesn’t have a job. So we are stuck supporting him buying his groceries, gas and also, his car!!! His whole family is probably the same way. Why doesn’t he go out and get a real job? One that gives a paycheck,instead of robbing restaraunts. Sounds like he learned his trade from his parents. What a stupid pair they must be. ..Thanx for listening… Eric Paul
