Get Gov't Money? Follow the Rules

Remember, you need to pass a drug test to work for the City of Chicago.  You want to smoke dope, you are welcome to work somewhere else - no one is stopping you.

Then there's this guy:
  • A Chicago man who objects to having to submit to drug testing as a condition of living in an apartment that he rents from the Chicago Housing Authority filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging the policy in federal court.

    Joseph Peery, 58, has lived in the Parkside of Old Town mixed-income housing development on the Near North Side since 2010. Drug tests are required of all renters before they move into the complex and every year on renewal of a rental agreement, Peery said.

    "It's humiliating, embarrassing, stigmatizing, and it's unfair," Peery said in an interview. "I think it needs to end."
This certain housing development is a mixed-income private/public partnership affairs where the developer is supposed to make a certain number of units available to those of lower economic status...one of those liberal initiatives that attempt to bend the laws of economics. In an effort to protect their investment and that of their actual paying clients, the companies try to ensure that those receiving "free" tax money are people with the actual drive to improve their situations.

We're pretty sure no one is stopping this guy or anyone else from taking their voucher to another location that doesn't screen their residents for drug use.

Since when is subsidized housing a 'civil right'? Because if it is, why are people put on waiting lists for housing, and others never qualify?

These realtors and local MSM are full of shit. The "Parkside of OLD TOWN" stands on the same ground on the south side of Division St. where the most violent projects of Cabrini-Green once stood. I live on the north periphery of Old Town. I resent that realtors and media now refer to this blood-soaked acreage as Old Town. Same goes for that shithole of "Marshall Field Garden Apartments" on the west side of Sedgwick St. between Evergreen and Blackhawk Sts.

It just take one judge's ruling to overturn this. Somehow the government never appeals and then it's goodbye housing development.
At one time the CHA would not rent to single mothers. That was overturned. How well did that turn out?

Look at the parts of our city (and suburbs, Skokie is a prime example) that are now war zones because of Section 8, housing vouchers, rent assistance, etc.

Ever notice the people that are able to push this agenda fully are those who live in areas where the only minorities are the people who clean their homes or work in their yard.

Axelrod lives in Lake Point Tower--what a real revolutionary. Same with the police station bomber and his bank robbing wife live in a hoity toity area of Hyde Park. Same with the do-gooders who live in Streeterville, The North Shore, Evanston......their idea of societal engineering is great for everyone else-except them.

The federal government rests its authority to collect income tax on the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution—the federal income tax amendment—which was allegedly ratified in 1913.

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."

—The 16th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America

After an extensive year-long nationwide research project, William J. Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the requisite three-fourths of the states and that nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox had fraudulently declared ratification.

This is the "Balls" and mindset of entitlement! Mr. Perry should be grateful he is not living under some viaduct. Meanwhile Mr. Yuppie from Ohio is paying $1,200.00 per month to live next door to Mr. Perry who is living there for $50.00 per month. Talk to the paying residents of these Social Experiments and you will see they last one year. At some point they get tired of taking their kids for walks and having to avoid used condoms, broken wine bottles and discarded syringes. Shitcago Values is what this Mixed Income housing is all about.

As an 018th district officer that has been here since all the old Cabrini buildings were still standing, I completely understand where you're coming from. The blood soaked grounds of where Cabrini once stood should never be conveniently "relocated" so that it's now considered part of a safe and desirable neighborhood, just as they've done with the Marshall Field Homes. Just think, the people that actually own the hell hole that is Marshall Fields are charging the government the market rate for each apartment in the neighborhood. Just think of the going rate for two and three bedrooms in Old Town, and then multiply it by the 100 plus units in that shithole. The rent money they're taking in each month from the government with all of the two and three bedroom apartments in that building that they're charging Old Town rates is enormous. That dump is a cash cow, and the government is ultimately footing the bill for them to live down the street from you.

Fine citizen comes into desk looking for a report for something he overheard somebody say, that he couldn't verify was directed toward him. You know, office.

Turns out the real reason he needed the report was he couldn't get out of that particular Sect. 8 without it. Needless to say, he was shown the door without one.

And, how much do you suppose he's paying his lawyer?

How much is he paying for his monthly phone service to call his lawyer?

Fuckers get everything for free, yet my transportation reimbursement to my kids catholic school gets cut off, (was only 10% of what it should have been according to the worksheet but they cut it totally off), can only contribute half of what we were able to to our FSA,($2500 instead of $5000), my property tax went up 30%, but this asshole doesn't want a drug test.

Yeah, I was hoping that with a Democrat in charge all that would go away (as we were told would happen) but apparently there's been a few bumps in the road. So I guess that I'll just agree with all the other haters on here that if you want me to pay for your rent, stay off the dope.

Corporations? You're a special kind of stupid aren't you. (that's rhetorical)

Corporations provide Tens of Millions of JOBS right here in the USA (there's roughly 330 Million people here in the US as of 2010), as a 'Corporation' is not only IBM, GE, SEARS, General Motors. Or that *evil* Wall Street and --horror-- THE BANKERS! It's the SMALL company, or even food or liquor store down the street that has an INC and LLC in its legal name, that has only two shareholders -- The Mom & Pop owners.

Furthermore a Corporation is YOU, The People, because if you own some Stock, just one share, then YOU are part of that corporation, and YOU get a VOTE each year on Corporation business. And if you have a Pension then YOU are part of a corporation as the Pension buys Stock -- its how it makes money to pay retirees.

The fact of the matter is that if YOU have a JOB in the private sector the odds are that paycheck comes from an INC or LLC, both Corporations. That's even if there's only five people in 'the company', the boss's name is Joe, and he wears jeans to work.

So put down the crack pipe, sober up, and open your eyes. You'll see who the real fucking enemy is -- the Marxist Progressive Democrats, their over-reaching tyrannical government, and their all out communistic War on the individual and prosperity. In short: The American Way of Life.

Have a nice day.

So with your thinking, because I buy products, one could say that I am helping the economy and I should receive a subsidy that basicall gives me the products I'm buying for free? After all, I AM helping the economy. I'm helping to keep employees employed at the stores and line workers working at the plant to produce my goods.

Flawed logic. Corporations should not get paid to make money. They create jobs because they want to make money. If they cannot survive on the money we use shopping or using their product but need billions in subsidies then they should fold.

Paying companies for the benefit of them offering a job to people is straight up welfare.

HEY - this is the typical comment that I hear from some of my non-informed, low information - but highly opinionated - liberal friends when I make a comment about having to pay taxes for these perpetual moochers.

I'm also against the corporations who take the money and hire low-wage Visa workers instead of hiring people right here in Illinois. So I am against that as well - but we're talking about these welfare leeches - so don't change the subject.

Raise my ire? Grow up and realize that there is more than one issue on the table here and you can have several concerns, not just one.

I'm sure you're real generous with your money and give to every charity?

Do you even leave 20% down on the table for your server when you go to the restaurant? They work for their money. I bet you don't!!

I think you're more of a Mr. Pink type. Wake up.

It's called capitalism nimrod. If you had half a brain maybe you could come up with an idea and start a company, make money, and employ all the worthless pieces of shit leaching off taxpayers that you want to defend (good luck getting those pieces of shit to show up/work). I doubt you'll do that though because you'd rather complain about how unfair the world is and espouse that everyone should get a trophy. This country was founded on the principle of capitalism- if you don't like it leave.
