We live in a world where up is down, freedom is slavery and if the city council of Washington, D.C. has its way, crime does pay, and handsomely at that.
Meeting last Tuesday, the D.C. Council voted to pass legislation authorizing a program to pay residents to – get this – not commit crime. And not only did the council vote to pass the bill, it voted to pass it unanimously, meaning not one single member found anything objectionable about the measure.
Citing a similar program in the city of Richmond, California, the plan is for the city government to handpick 200 people believed to be vulnerable to violent crime or, unbelievably, vulnerable to committing violent crime to take part in programs meant to improve their behavior. In return for completing said programs, the city will “reward” them with money.
How much D.C. taxpayers are going to have to fund this nonsense remains unclear, as the bill made no mention of exactly how much money will be given to participants. If the $9000 rewarded a year to participants in the California program is any indication, then the citizens of D.C. will be footing a hefty bill.

this has got to be one of their more stupid ideas yet
You have got to be kidding!
John not sure what Taxes!!!!! Is supposed to mean. But if you are saying taxes is where the money comes from let me explain. Taxes are not magic money. Taxes are paid by working people. So taxes are taken out of a persons wallet.
Coming to a city near you.
Soon enough the criminals will be making more sitting home than people working 40+ hrs a week and still unable to make ends meet!!!!
Great idea$#%&!@*clowns in DC!!!
Boy they sure show how stupid they really , really are❗️
Another prime example of how terrible Democrat run cities are. They were to busy stuffing their pockets for years now and do not CARE about this country or their cities as evidenced by the reality of their failures.
What a Joke.
NO common sense hers is there folks…………
This sounds like a crime to me if you give people other peoples money to not commit a crime. How stupid do they think we are Oh I forget their are a lot of Liberals that are stupid enough to give woman of the year to a man so if the shoe fits where it.
