One might argue that there's no foolproof way to prevent people with the 
knowhow and determination to abuse a system from doing just that.

Rather like constant complaints by conservatives that because the EBT 
system is abused, the whole system needs to be scrapped, regardless of 
how many millions of kids are able to eat because of it. Yep, I'm sure 
there are thousands of freeloaders eating lobster dinners off of it 
every night for years. So what? What's your point, exactly?

The Feds dole out millions of dollars every hour to the oil industry, 
Homeland Security, and to fight foreign wars I ain't never asked to be 
involved in. I find it pretty difficult to summon up any outrage over 
golf carts.

I feel pretty sorry for you squares, in fact. You bought the line that 
the key to happiness was to work your ass off for The Man for 40 years, 
rack up a bunch of debt and that somehow all the good stuff would fall 
into place. But it seems all that promise delivered on was a deep-seated 
resentment and a pathological urge to squabble over every last penny the 
poor are "stealing" from you, and sitting around in a six-figure home 
pondering the ways in which the government must be "oppressing" you. 
What a hoot.

The reason for your discontent was never the government, it was always 
available for study right there in the bathroom mirror. Too bad y'all 
never noticed - oh well. Suck it, suckas.
