Were there any reports of them trying to loot BC pills? If so, I must have missed that. Please post those news articles.
As I said, PROVE that just the majority of people who receive food stamps are minority looters. I see you're evading that challenge because you cannot prove any such thing. It's just the opinion of many racists out there and then they make statements as if it were a fact.
NOT necessary to sustain life, as is food and water.
You simply have no leg to stand on.
It is NECESSARY to sustain your species. Therefore it's a biological DRIVE.
Just because you don't like or have sex doesn't mean that it's NOT a biological drive. If everyone were like you, the human race would probably have died out long ago.
Why does one deserve more than they have earned? Because HUMAN BEINGS have INTRINSIC VALUE because they are human. If a person is not capable of earning enough money to feed him/herself and/or family, we, as civilized human beings, do NOT let them starve and die a slow torturous death. We don't let hungry children starve because of mistakes made by their parents. ADDITIONALLY, what is it you don't get about the word QUALIFY? One must qualify for food stamps, which means they have to prove that they don't have enough income to provide the basic necessities of life and need assistance feeding themselves and their families. People don't just walk into an agency and say, I want some money to buy food, and then they are given the assistance.
Not all human beings are born with equal intelligence nor equal opportunities. If a child does not receive good nutrition, they do not have a fair start or chance in life.
I think your position about your healtcare plan is actually rather selfish and only self-concerned. With Obamacare MANY MORE people out there with cancer will be able to receive treatment and survive.
Since you're earned so much money, the extra cost to you for health insurance should not be a problem; in fact, you can look at this situation as an emergency for which you have planned. Do you think your spouse's doctor is the ONLY doctor out there who is well qualified to treat the condition? Do you think the medical records will not be made available to a new doctor, IF IN FACT your spouse is forced to give up the doctor who has been administering treatment. WHY do you think that particular doctor would not accept the Obamacare insurance? After all, the insurance is still being provided by insurance companies? Where are you getting this idea that you will lose your doctor? Any hard evidence of that?
So, it's OK for one to get less insurance and pay more for it.....because someone else does not make sacrifices to obtain their own insurance?
I know of way too many people who choose NOT to sign up for insurance offered by their employer. Their excuse it is is too expensive. Reality is they are making good money and could afford the insurance if they did not purchase every i-phone, i-pad, x-box, big screen TV that comes out, and if they choose not to buy a brand new sports car every year. It's their irresponsibility - why should I have to pay for it?

This from someone who keeps saying how we should spend our money.... If money isn't that important to you, then perhaps you should just give 100% of yours away.....

Then you wonder why poor people hate you.
Nope.. poor people don't hate us.. The lazy do... there's a HUGE difference. And the feelings are very mutual.
Doesn't have to be all, just cite one news story of an EBT'er trying to loot BC pills.
You are being ridiculous. Your reasoning is totally off.
YOU have implied that all food stamp recipients are minority looters with ONE story about a WalMart glitch in the EBT system. ONE Walmart. How many people were involved in that incident? 47 million people receive food stamps. What percentage of that 47 million participated in that ONE INCIDENT?
So you are saying that humans don't have intrinsic value because they are human? Are you saying that a human being is worth no more than a dog, cat, racoon, a goat, etc., etc?
Poor people probably have the same value as cats, but dogs and goats are more valuable.

You think people who NEED food stamps to survive all live in nice homes on which they have a mortgage?
And poor people chose to have kids. Nobody forced them to do that.

Do poor people hate Canadians? There is no national food stamp program there.

Biological drive? Yes. Biological imperative? No. One can live without sex. One CANNOT live without food.
