Except that paltry sales tax. Maybe not these two specifically. But those who work the system for years know it. Tax time is Hillbilly Christmas. <br /><br />I don't consider unemployment a handout, though. The employer pays that money into the system. The workers can only get it if they are out of work through no fault of their own. If they have done something leading up to getting fired, they can get it, but after many weeks of penalties, during which they still have to show a job search. Sure, they fake that. But it's not guaranteed money right off the bat.Hillbilly Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18067833789262242514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-83135787472356477072012-08-31T08:43:23.710-05:002012-08-31T08:43:23.710-05:00Times are tough, that's for sure.

Our revenues are down 75% this season ..... because, as you know, I refuse to be set up to accept EBT cards and give the locals a chance to swim. <br />I now have a couple living here in two very small trailers in an "L" formation. Very old, very small trailers. They currently have no bathroom, since he ripped it out to insulate the trailer for winter. She is very short and very round and confessed that she did not "fit" in the area that contained the toilet.<br />But, the bad news is that he has been laid off and is "trying" to get unemployment. I will have no choice but to evict them if they can't pay to stay. They are younger than me and I am wondering why they don't look for jobs.Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8112514995333046518.post-27323989373492177832012-08-26T13:31:09.027-05:002012-08-26T13:31:09.027-05:00Sioux,

Have you ever seen women (with little clothes on) standing on a big city street corner? These are teachers. They don't make enough to wear clothes all over their body, and they're on the street, trying to sell the supplies they've stolen from the school vault.<br /><br />I mean it. Talk to her. It might result in the cash flow you're in need of.Sioux Roslawskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17924021828536277618noreply@blogger.com
