It's weird, I'm not as obsessed with shaming those people, but I'm somewhat biased because I know people who do that to supplement their disability/welfare checks.

Plus, these people tend to spend their money versus saving it, so it's going right back into the economy. Hell, they might actually pay sales tax or VAT on their purchases. :-P

they don't check how much money you make for those two. $22270/yr is the minimum for both. if you work part-time, you report the hours worked and they deduct that much, compared to an average man-year of 1950 hours.
