I went to school with a girl who went to college for 8 years before earning her EE Degree all paid for by grants. She was making $50-60k a year bartending but wasn't claiming it so she qualified for government grants.
Well, 5 years after we graduated she is still bartending and not giving anything back to society because she still isn't claiming enough income to pay taxes.

Don't get me started on people not paying taxes. ALL these dang crabbers and oyster men and guides and crawfishermen and shrimpers get paid in cash and claim very little on taxes. Then they are the first to say something about people not pulling their own weight they are the first in line when govt handouts are offered. Look at the BP oil spill
