You're ignoring that most of the working-age people on welfare are working, and that oftentimes people have kids before they lose their good jobs. The conservative strawman "lazy poor" is a very small portion of the people being provided with food stamps.
They're deceptively including SS, Medicare, and other government programs that require military service or decades of premium payments for benefits eligibility.
Those who receive welfare, SNAP, Medicaid, or any of the 80+ means-tested social welfare programs benefits never have to contribute even one thin dime to the cost of funding those programs.
You should be ashamed at being so deliberately dishonest.

Shurg, it was quick and fast, and meets a definition that the right has used here over and over. I can also link to ones showing that the majority of those collecting just food stamps that can work...do.

Are you unaware that 40.9% of 1040-filing households have a zero or negative federal income tax liability, while only 19.7% of U.S. households receive food stamps. It is extremely likely that those receiving food stamps pay NOTHING in the taxes that fund that program.
