Have you looked at your phone bill lately? There is a “universal service fee charge” that funds this program, which to be fair, was extended under George W. Bush.
Nevertheless, I remember working years ago at T-Mobile and specifically being asked if we had “free phones” so that they could sell it at the pawn store. Therefore, I was not wholly surprised to see this video composed by “Project Veritas” exposing this fraud.
The saddest part of this story, is that the immoral culture of entitlement truly hurts our citizens who are truly in need the most. They are lumped in with popular perceptions of the abusers and fraudsters, but then again, that is the end result of big government, and the ultimate argument for true free markets; in which, there would be far greater opportunity for those who are in desperate need of one.
