I think that eliminating Food Stamps would help the economy. (lobbyist, politicians)

Learn quicker.

I obviously have more faith in human nature than you.

BS. People don't work miracles on the regular. That was selfish, forgetting the children for the sake of your arguement. Whether they care or not, its the inncoent children's lives that are at stake.

I do grow some, but mostly I work and shop at a grocery store with my EARNINGS. (how novel!)

As far as the children, IF their parents put them at the center of their life, they would do whatever it takes to feed them.

My arguments cannot be broken.

No.

My point was that getting rid of food stamps would spur economic growth.

People would have to become more industrious out of necessity.

The bankers and wall street jockeys put many people into poverty through their greed. Madoff ring a bell?

The bolded part of your statement is a basic description of Utopia, as I am sure you know.
Which utterly perplexes me.....why in the world would you embrace a socialist ideal?

I didn't know Michelle was forcing anyone to have a garden; did I miss something?

I bet you can get the food to grow faster, too, Alpha man!

Why is that?

Perhaps I didn't see them as practical points.

Which would be your loss, not mine.
