If Common Sense Was Common
● Redistribution of wealth (compulsory charity) would be recognized as government sponsored slavery, no matter how deserving or pitiful the recipient
● And such “charity” results in a totalitarian police state to enforce “taking” from one to give to another.
How else would they enforce it? Wheedling and coaxing, "pretty please?"
GET A JOB!!!! STOP HAVING SO MANY KIDS! I am so sick & tired of going into stores on welfare Friday & seeing people having 2 or 3 carts FULL of food & whining about how they are not getting enough food.
Anyone who feels sorry for ANY of these people is a sucker!
$925.00 isn't enough???? Stop eating steak every meal. Stop trading food for money & sex & drugs!
These ungrateful food stamp collectors are complaining that they aren't getting enough handouts. None of these people look like they're going hungry to me. Especially not the one in the Armani shirt.
I'm certain, there are some who really need them, but as sure as I sit here, I'm also convinced that there are many lazy you know whats, who are collecting them, that could be out there working, and contributing for themselves, their family and to the community...they are robbing the system. But hey, it is the people running this system that aren't doing their jobs either. Our systems are broken, period.
but give em everything, give illegals everything...pretty soon there will be more people taking then giving, then what?
Bad idea, you would have the same incompetent and corrupt government administer those programs and besides, stealing money from peter to train and feed paul is not charity, its robbery.
And "Job training" for which jobs? Do you think a handfull of politicians would know what careers thousands of people should be trained in?
The correct answer is to end all such programs and let a free market do the rest.
The free market would rather such people starve and
die in the streets. So those programs are needed.
The facts are that the majority of recipients of food stamps are children and the elderly and the majority of those in between are employed.
The point is these idiots keep having children to keep the cash cow going. Those who don't get handouts limit the size of their families and learn how to budget.
Lol, come on out here to Las Vegas where you'll routinely see women with five kids in tow paying for groceries with EBT and hopping into brand new SUV's. It's a joke.
And not for nothing, but schools now do free breakfast and free lunch, so all these people have to do is fix a dinner and maybe a snack. Many schools will also send kids home with backpacks of food for the weekend, so how in the hell do they not have enough money?
We need to go back to the good old days where if you didn't work, you didn't eat.
Yeah, bull****. I always love that right wing argument, in which they regularly see or know someone who dines on lobster while driving a luxury car on social assistance .
Get rid of food stamps and use that money for soup kitchens to provide low cost healthy meals and at the same time job training.

I disagree. That's a great idea! Of course, it's not going to work in every single situation, but NH has a program like that. The NH Food Bank will teach under-employed people how to cook banquet style and at the end of the 12 (I think) week program, they get an opportunity to pass and get a ServSafe certification plus they now have real kitchen experience. This can translate into them getting a job as a general cook in a restaurant, catering company, or hotel kitchen. And there's always a decent amount of open jobs for general cooks.

Agreed, but that is the case throughout the World.
The poor always have higher birth rates; maybe we can have a society where so many aren't living in poverty and Nationless Corporations aren't treated more human than humans?
If you are complaining about Food Stamps, but not The Federal Reserve creating TRILLIONS in made up money out of thin air and handing 95% of it over to the richest 1% in this country via quantitative easing -please take a seat and shut up.
If you are complaining about Food Stamps, but not Corporate Bailouts, Corporate Tax schemes, War Corporations overcharging our Government, Prison Corporations overcharging our Government-please take a seat and shut up.
There is TONS of waste throughout our Government, but some is more egregious than others. I don't find feeding American families and children that egregious when you consider all I've just mentioned (and more).
