I Trade My Food Stamps For Cash To Buy Beer, Vodka And Cigarettes"
There are innumerable beach towns in the United States. Many are
home to iconic sites that make them notable: the Cape Hatteras
Lighthouse, Jersey Shore Boardwalk, Coney Island 'Cyclone' and Santa
Monica Pier just to name a few.
But way down at the southern tip of the continental United States, at the famous "Mile 0" of Route 1 lies the very notable beach town of Key West, Florida.
The inspiration for many symbols of American culture such as Jimmy Buffett's hit Margaritaville, Key West is home to artists, tourists, beach bums and numerous others.
This week, O'Reilly Factor correspondent Jesse Watters traveled down there to catch up with a number of those folks to find out more about the legendary community.
Watters spoke with numerous locals about the "laid back" lifestyle of Key West.
When asked if he was on food stamps, one resident told Watters that he traded his food stamps for alcohol and cigarettes.
