I have no problem with a generous food stamp program as long as it's buying healthy food only.
I don't think we want mobs of hungry people hunting and gathering food in the streets of the US.
But we dont't want kids who eat a steady diet of crap either. The just end up unhealthy both physically and mentally and are another contributing cause to the decline of America,
Or storming the gilded white towers with pitchforks and torches. Come to think of it, maybe what we need is in fact a cessation of all entitlements. Stop UI, stop DI, stop Medicare, stop food stamps, WIC, TANF, Section 8, you name it. I think it is high time for a revolution.

The only reason this hasn't happened yet is specifically because people don't riot and demand if they are being fed. Lets see what a few million hungry people look like when they storm the gated communities.

So, I'll reiterate, it's protection money?

Have you driven through poor neighborhoods?

75% of the women and children are obese.

That is the decline of America!

That's the problem with the lefties.

They think that the poor are poor because the rich are rich.

Most people like you that get on the defensive are usually 2nd or 3rd generation welfare sponges. Somewhere along the line somebody in your immediate family probably once worked for a few weeks and paid taxes, so now you feel justified in raping the honest taxpayers and the truely needy as violently as possible.
You may continue to get by, but I know your 4th generation sponge-rats will be eating out of the gutters. Everybody is tired of the hood rat mentality.
Things are gonna get f#ckin ugly for your kind.
i think it is safe to say that if government spending is not contained and if things get out of control, the slackers are going to be both very surprised and very disappointed in their government.

That's the problem with righties - they foolishly think they are one of the rich because they're politically conservative.

Yes it is protection money in a sense. We're paying for a civilized and peaceful country. Look what happened in Russia and China after their revolutions: war, famines, death camps etc.
Hungry poor people with nothing to lose brought on those revolutions.
Those obese people in the ghetto are most likely on food stamps. That's my point. Restrict foodstamps to the WIC approved foods and you'd see less obesity. That would be good for everyone except the junk food industry.

Yea.

We productive members of society have been screwed for far too long.

We're too busy working, being productive to march every 2 weeks.

I would rather work for free for a wealth creator than take a handout from them.

That's the major difference between conservatives and progressives.

A feeling of entitlement.

Gimmee, gimmee, gimmee!

Do you have any idea how ridiculous it sounds for you to be venting about what is perfectly legal in this country? If you have ideas on how things should be done differently, why are you wasting your time here? Go get you some of your local representative and make the changes you desire.

Or just stop whining about the things you have no control of. That would be a lot easier to do.


Yeah, just sit back and enjoy your excrement sandwich.

NOBODY in Russia and China were allowed to become wealthy, except for the very few.

Remember....socialism is for the people, not the socialists.

General Mills, Nestle and Pepsico would be seriously impacted (negatively) - who will buy all the Cheetos and sody pop?
