We need affordable housing for people that don't qualify for section 8. There is no affordable housing outside the ghetto for people not on welfare.

Thank you for being so blunt about this, and I wish to be equally blunt in my response to your statement.

Your income taxes (or a portion of) that are withheld out of your paycheck each week pay to make up the difference between what the landlord needs from each apartment, say $1,000 a month, from what each rent payer pays, say $250 a month. So, by you working, a lot of your taxes taken from you at the end of the week pay to cover the other $750 that the section 8 renter is not paying. Does your money cover the whole $750? Oh, of course not! There are people whose "job" it is now all day long to "process" these taxes and payments. Let's just call them "skimmers". They have to skim about $200 off the top to pay their bills. After all, this keeps them busy all day every day and keeps them from working a productive job, so they've got to make ends meet, too.

So it will not only take a lot of your co-workers' income taxes to pay 3/4 of the section 8 peoples' rent and the skimmers, but many other workers across town as well. In fact, it will take about ten to twelve job holders to support each section 8 renter,

This reduces your income to a point that brings you to your question of the day. "I make so little I need section 8 housing, but I don't want to live in a ghetto!" PLEASE THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MOMENT, AND LET IT SINK IN.

Now you want a NICE apartment away from that, that is better that theirs, that you will not own and neither will any of your neighbors, for less than market value, (the landlord still needs his thousand, and will go to the government to get it if you cannot pay, so fill out this form along with your lease)that you did not work hard for because most of its value is given to you, and it's all because some ba$tards across town take money out of your check every week that they don't deserve. NOT ONLY THAT, now all your neighbors are doing the same thing to your paycheck because they are in section 8, too! DAMN!

NOW, your workload is tripled, your pay is cut in half, ALL BECAUSE OF THOSE ROTTEN BA$TARDS ACROSS TOWN, and worse yet, your own neighbors!

What are you going to do next. Hmmmmm. I know, F__K the rest of them, You'll just quit working, make a bunch of babies, and get $ for each one every week like everybody else is doing!
Congratulations, You have just done your part to become a slave to the Government, who will tell you what little pittance you deserve, because there are so few working, there is not enough to so around and you have to give your share to the "children".

So, how's life treating you now? No car, no freedom, if you had a bike it would get stolen by a neighbor or the 'hood across town where you didn't want to live in the first place. Everybody quit working, so the factory moved to another state or country, so there are no jobs even if you wanted to reverse the path you wished so badly for. There is nothing to strive for anymore. Your only hope of breaking free is to go into an illicit retail market, but the cops patrol your hood 24-7, and you'll just get caught someday, over and over again.

Future America. Keep on wishing for that "affordable housing away from a ghetto". You may just "get it" some day.

God you people are so hate filled and paranoid.

run on a platform that will try to mandate drug testing for welfare and you will get elected. It will never happen, but the idea itself, gets the voting public pumped up.

Not hate and paranioa at all 7:34.
More like decent people are tired of paying for the sponges of society. If you want to pay for them be our guest and give away most of your salary to the sponges.

I can assure you police officers, firefighters and teachers don't want to live in the Ghetto, also known as the City of Salisbury. This is nothing more than a bait and switch tactic.

I concur 8:06.

This is about more than a third of America living off the other third that works for a living.
This is about a group of people called democrats that want more Americans on the Government dole to secure their base voters to maintain power.
This is not about pensioners. Do not confuse that issue.
This is about an enemy regime turning a Capitalist Republic into a communist redistribution of wealth, Government takeover of business and industry issue.

Forward! Look it up.

Brutal, but all true. This isn't paranoia, it's eyes wide open, seeing what's in our midst and on the horizon.
