The dad died long after his divorce, and the two children reaped a windfall: About $3,000 a month in Social Security payments. His former wife divorced her new husband, and lived off the payments.
I heard this story today, and wondered why we allow such to happen. It is not that we do not want to help people, but this is over-the-top. There is such thing as welfare fraud and then there is such a thing as welfare fraud created by government, for whether the law allows it or not, it is still wrong, still a fraud upon the taxpayers.
Might doesn't make right, it is said. Nor is doing something a right thing just because you might be able to do it.
