If they were working, would you tell their bosses to cut their pay because of the way they're spending the money? Or perhaps tell them to shut the company down because of the irresponsibility of a few employees?
While I agree this family is spending their money foolishly, it's not the government's fault. Toys like that are expensive - they are more than likely defrauding the government if they can pay for lavish toys like ATVs and dirt bikes. It's one thing to spend $10 on a couple of MacDonald's meals rather than a week's worth of protein; it's quite another to spend thousands of dollars on toys when you supposedly can't feed your kids.
Maybe you should take some home movies of all the machinery,
Dunedan, and show them at your local Welfare office.
You have my sympathy - I've had some neighbors-from-hell stories over the years, but your circumstances humble me. Not to open another can of worms, but that's why I prefer to live in communities with HOAs. Yes - I may be crammed into a house 10 feet from my neighbor's; but then again, they can't own more than two
licensed pets, and ATVs are strictly forbidden.
On the bad side, I can't raise ducks . . . .
