my tribe would have one.

They are great if you are single, healthy, and have sufficient reserves.

You take a lesser job or both the man and wife work. You can also give back
the house and rent. Choices...

If you disagree with them at all and refuse to go with them, they will
pull out their guns and point them at you in order to get you to comply
with the governments dictates.

You could in my county. You'd get practically free housing, your
childrens breakfast and lunch would be free. Health care for the entire
family would be free. Income taxes would be 0 and the EIC would get you
a nice little check at the end of the year too.

The last time I earned minimum wage was when I was 16. And, even before
I turned 17 I started working for the USDA writing COBOL code making
above minimum wage as a GS-1. That was 32 freaking years ago, I am ready
to retire.
