No job no problem you can live life better on welfare.
Just because you hear that a few people who use an EBT card to get somewhat expensive food you think that their lives are easy? Unless you actually lived with someone who is on welfare there is nothing that you can say that can make any difference to anyone.

Doesn't matter. Luxury items should be prohibited.

I mean really you libbies really need to get out into the real world. Really you do but why would you guys care? I mean to be liberal you either have to be on welfare or make over 250k. A year.
Has it ever occurred to you that those "welfare moochers" are the ones that actually keep alot of companies afloat. Poor people are the ones that CONSTANTLY spend money, mainly because they do not make enough to save and do not know how to invest money which puts money in the bankers hands. The bankers have figured this out a long time ago, so they get their money from the usage of the EBT cards

Huh?

Its the taxpayer who put money on those cards that keep those businesses afloat. Not the moocher.

EBT support less businesses than it "supports".

Who are you to determine what anyone can buy with their money
Will you tell bankers who get their money illegally how big they can build their houses?

For the liberal looking for equality, they too can have food stamps - and prime rib and lobster.

And a cell phone and an electric car.

How do you know if those cards have "welfare money" or child support money? EBT cards support the banks and apparently you don't know who the food stamp program supports besides the user.

What about those who worked all of their lives and lose their jobs or are forced to retire and cannot get a job because of those "job creators" who moved their companies overseas for cheaper labor. I guess they deserve to be on food stamps huh?
