From millionaires to overseas foreigners, from NFL players to luxury car owners, our money is going to everyone but us.
You’d think that the recent find of 34,000 deceased North Carolinians still registered to vote would be bad enough, but Epoch Times reported 5,000 deceased people are also receiving SNAP benefits. This sounds like the plot of a B-rate horror movie: “Night of the Voting/Eating Dead.”

SNAP is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program providing benefits to people, like food stamps. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins stated that SNAP is one of the “most corrupt, dysfunctional programs” in U.S. history, with 80% of the people using the program being able to work. Rollins stated that 5,000 dead people were getting SNAP, while another 500,000 people were double-dipping the SNAP program, getting twice the benefits under the same name. Rollins stated that there is “massive fraud,” which has only been found in the states that have cooperated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)—21 states refuse to hand over SNAP data. All but 2 of the 29 states working to rout out the fraud are Republican states. Democrat-states are suing the USDA, saying they do not have to share this data. Well, should these noncooperative states continue to receive this benefit? Not cooperating with solving a crime, isn’t that aiding and abetting criminal activity?
Recent data show that it’s not just 5,000 deceased people receiving SNAP benefits, but in Republican-states alone, that number totals 244,000. In the last year alone, 895 people were arrested for illegal food stamp use.
In addition, recent data show that in one state alone, 14,000 food stamp recipients are driving luxury cars. Rollins stated, “if this is happening in a red state, can you imagine what’s happening in the blue states?” In just one state it was found that of the luxury cars being driven by SNAP recipients, 3 of the cars were Bentleys, 3 were Ferraris, 11 were Lamborghinis, 59 were Maseratis, 141 were Porches, 244 were Alfa Romeos, 306 were Land Rovers and 2,098 were Teslas.
The Foundation for Government Accountability found one SNAP recipient, a university professor, was driving a $346,000 2020 Rolls-Royce. Another case revealed a “celebrity barber” on food stamps was driving a 2018 Lamborghini Huracan LP580-2 Spyder, valued at $220,000. And yet, another example was a professional football player on SNAP benefits driving a 2022 BMW M760i valued at $158,000.
The SNAP program is intended to help a mom stretch $50 across a week of groceries, or a senior who is counting pennies at the checkout line, or the worker who just got laid off and needs a little help to get back on his feet. Most Americans would think it strange that someone getting out of a Maserati or a Tesla is receiving SNAP benefits, because most Americans would realize that this person is playing by a different set of rules. While honest citizens are tightening their belts to pay taxes to support other people, thieving fraudsters are abusing and working the system. Author Amy Groves, who is running for the Nevada Assembly District 19 and is director of the Coalition for Housing Freedom stated, “If taxpayers start feeling like they’re footing the grocery bill for someone driving a Lamborghini, don’t be surprised when they start voting to fix it.”
