So you are an advocate of slave labor and forcing wages down. Got it.

Prisoners are not slaves. They are paying their debt to society for their crimes. It is punishment. Even during WW2, German prisoners were "rented out" to local farms to help because the farm laborers were off fighting the war.

If it were my show I would have asked the caller how she manages to get around the Federal/ Texas requirement to work at least 20 hours a week to remain eligible.
Because it is another fake outrage thread using fiction as the source of the outrage.

To be clear, I don't like people who are partial food stamps receivers while popping out kids, keeping the cycle of poverty alive and well. Plenty of real things to get angry over. But conservatives are too intellectually lazy to do some honest to god research. Using fiction is easier.

People who expand their family while on public assistance should lose that assistance.

How does that work if someone can't find a job? Are jobs included in the handouts?

You specifically said in post #34 "give employers a cheaper source of labor." That sure sounds like using forced labor to push down wages.
