There are always those that will abuse the system, as sited in your post, and by the way while I have been to most cities and towns in California, as a trucker, I have not ever been to Vernon, but the point is that's what we have laws for and they should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, if we would put as much effort into going after white collar crime as we do trying to keep a worker from making a living wage, these abuses would not be so prevalent.

There are good people and bad people, honest people and cheats at every level of every industry. The percentages of dishonest poor and dishonest rich are similar.
ALL of that has nothing to do with the politics of the situation.
If you follow the "Robin Hood" model, the poor will NOT become rich. There will just be many, many MORE poor!
The singular hope the poor have of improving their lot, IS the rich!
Do the rich gorge themselves? Yes, of course they do! But in the process, THEY CREATE jobs and opportunities for others. Governments are leeches on society, they USE. They create nothing [waste excepted].
The rich, while indulging themselves, DO create for all.
That should be obvious, even to a liberal. "Obvious to a liberal," is that a contradictory statement?
