Both my husband and i work full time, fall in the middle class, cant afford many things, but making enough so that we can continue paying our bills. We arent eligible for any programs (b”h), we pay the high taxes, and everything is on the books.
Being that we are honest people and we report and pay all our taxes, it hurts when many friends and aquaintances “brag” about all the programs they are receiving while they receive money from their jobs under the table.
Of course i’d prefer that my tax money go to my brothers/sisters who really need it, but if you were to go through the books (and under the table books) you would see that unfortunately there are many, many, many people who hide their income and just take cuz it’s “free”.
