Food stamps use up a fraction of tax revenue, if this is breaking you, than you are basically broke.

I saw one lady in front of me pay for her food using 2 Lone Star cards and the cashier never even questioned it. And you need a pin number to use those cards so stolen cards don't mean much.
She couldn't possibly have been shopping for someone who is home-bound, could she?

Nope, must have been scamming.


As for the OP and others who are absolutely, positively sure that these people are utilizing SNAP, how is it that you are standing so close during checkout that you can actually see how people are paying?
Ever heard of privacy or personal space?
Someone swipes a payment card, it looks like any other payment card to me.

Nobody loves your threads. Liberals and independents come here to laugh at and mock your failed abortions at political discourse. Hell, even the Right leaning members hold their noses when they enter this "thread."

Buttfumble.
Ok we need one more to make it legit that there is something buttnasty going on up in here

LOL too late

So they are blantly taxing us out of ass, just to pay for foodstamp recipents? Or are they taxing us and they are distrubting the money to the programs they deem need the monetary funds?? If foodstamps and other government assistant programs were terminated, would our taxes go down and I wouldn't owe so much to Uncle Sam??

No, we would still get taxed, except the money would go to another program.

When the cut money to one program, have the taxes gone down? No, they just allocated it somewhere else.

Your taxes are never going down, at least not significantly, no matter if a R or D is in charge
