Well here is about how the food stamp program is run I am tired of it.

I work, I'm 40 years old and I am just sick of watching others live off my sweat and the strength of my will to work and take care of myself. These people are leeches.
80% of these people are life timers on these programs.

They sit at home all day and watch tv, have their welfare phones texting their other welfare friend's phones and eat the food and the rest of society has been providing to these losers for far to long. I am paying for my phone, my tv, my gas, electric, gas, car, bills so they can do what life off the governments hand outs.

These programs were created to keep the animals from revolting stealing and rioting of which is about the only time they do riot or complain is when their FOOD item they picked up doesn't match the sale sign. These idiots can't read and then blame the store because they can't ready 5lb bag not 4lb bag sale!!! Some how this is compassion for people who have no drive to work, and would rather play the system of food stamps. They complain and don't do crap and about the only thing they do complain about is because they are uneducated often and have no skills are busy striking at mcdonalds for 15 per hour. I wonder who these people are voting for? End the programs watch them get a job, or they will riot and or steal of which from a moral compass part lets see.. which is morally right stealing or working for what you earn. Or stealing from others via government and food stamps and some how that is ok.


I am complaining because while I struggle to pay food prices, taxes, gas prices and house payments I am sick of it.

They don't pay rent, they don't pay for just about anything, water, gas, electric, and likely if they do they have hidden cash often to cover whatever the food stamps don't cover and or for items like new sneakers, shoes, clothes, cars etc.

If your from another country they start you out early with food stamps, pay no taxes you get food stamps its like a system of FREE stuff forever in America. How is the eliminate the POOR program going let me know when food stamps makes you RICH And able to take care of yourself. Why ever get a job? Why pay for anything and these people think this is normal.
It's the people who live off these programs because in general they know better but don't care as long as they are getting their share and the government who keeps this crap going.

Remove all US military forces from foreign stations first. Then cut the Pentagon in half.

Then I'll consider it.

Soooo....In 2011 the amount spent on food stamps was 75.7 billion....of a 3,843 billion budget. And the idea of feeding people is your concern?

Oh and your assumption is that all the people on these programs are there by choice, and just living the life! Yupppp...just living that awesome life!

Yes, cut all the constitutionally mandated government functions before we limit our dole payments.

Meanwhile, in the real world.. 50 million Americans use the food stamp program known as SNAP. Most folks on the program earn a wage. Unfortunately, that wage is too small to provide adequate nutrition for themselves and their children. Taxpayers such as the OP must feed those folks, because their corporate employers are more concerned with outrageous CEO pay and excessive dividend payouts to their shareholders. Employee labor is a liability, so it should be as low as the law allows.

Speaking of law, the minimum wage hasn't been adjusted since 2009. The same companies forcing the OP to pay for Joe Mooch's Food Stamps have spent millions of dollars lobbying against minimum wage increases. Perhaps the OP should direct his anger towards the real perpetrators.

I'll tell you what. Your story was very passionate. You almost made me want to quit working and collect welfare. Since they have it so great, why don't you try it?
