No your question was prove to you that people getting welfare were working.

Michael Moore says 400 Americans have more wealth than half of all Americans combined. So HEY! lets raise taxes on SMALL business. People hate the 0.01% so they attack the 1% which is high income but not rich. And Obama makes the 0.01% more rich, they are untouched. People are morons.

You do know the difference between wealth and income right?

What cuts? No way is federal SNAP spending going to decline. Not with so many people receiving food stamps.

Just remember that when the costs of doing business increase, those cost increases get passed along to everyone who buys corporations' goods and services. The end user/consumer always pays. Guess who gets hurt the most by having to pay higher prices for goods and services?

If you understand economics as you say, you should be able to figure this out.
God what a phoney scare tactic. If we cut corporate welfare the prices of goods will rise. Hog wash! The price of goods will raise only because the CEOs and others are used to making double digit million dollar wages because of corporate welfae. So to get those wages after they will now have to raise prices. But wahhhh, learn to live with less, like they expect there employees to do. Maybe instead of the entitled 20million a year, how about 10 million? No matter what its not the tax payer or the consumers responsibility to

I speak the truth. Many don't like the truth because some of the facts are very uncomfortable. Such as...

Medicaid Pays For Nearly Half of All Births in the United States | publichealth.gwu.edu

Those kids are dependent on welfare from day one: Medicaid, WIC, etc., etc. PLUS the 3 times higher birth rate of those receiving public assistance. That exponential growth of the welfare-dependent class is not sustainable and everyone with at least half a brain knows it.

No, my challenge was: "Prove that everyone getting a means-tested government program welfare benefit is working."

You didn't. Your own post said, "41 Percent Of SNAP Participants Lived "In A Household With Earnings."

Do you somehow think 41% of participants is everyone? Aren't you missing the other 59%?
