Kinda thought bout splitin up and giving it a try before, not a whole lot to loose.

FACT: Trump has utterly failed on his oft repeated promise to replace what you claim is the "worse of the worse" immediately after taking office. If you want to assign blame honestly blame the failure of the liar in the White House to do as he said repeatedly he would do.

Naw, cause the idiots always throw sumthan in there carts that isn't covered by the card, heck once the cashier told the lady dog food isn't covered with da card, tried charging her for the dog food, the lady said just forget the dog food, Ill feed him chops,lol. The old man in line by me turned around and said wish I could afford a dog. Naw the cashier just stuck it in the pile with all the other junk the cards weren't paying for that day. No stalkin here, just a observation

I just said that people fall into different buckets, but lets not pretend businesses are charities. They pay workers for the value they add to the business. Sorry if it doesn't sound warm and fuzzy, but reality isn't always warm and fuzzy.

Why do they enlist if the pay is so poor?

And no business whose pay is so low that workers need to be subsidized by the government should exist. Thats not being warm and fuzzy, that is saying that while I might feel we need to help the poor, I dont think we should subsidize business with a bad business model that survives because their employees get government help.

You want free? Guess what, you don't get choice with that.
It’s really sad how much disdain people have for poor people when they do so much for you
Mow your lawn
Make your food
Serve you food
Wash your cars

So many low paying minumum wage jobs exist. People really don’t understand that lower classes will always exist, that’s the balance that’s needed. Somebody needs to always make less than others. Just because someone is poor on public assistance doesn’t mean they aren’t employed.

Many are also on disability and elderly

Forgotten is the free breakfast and lunch for the children attending both Headstart (for free) and school, and also the summer lunch program in addition to the food stamp allotment. Add going to the pantry after they blew their allotment on junk food, or traded it for cigarettes or alcohol............

Ever heard "beggars can't be choosers"? When something is "free" to you, that means someone else is paying for it, one should not complain. People need to think about being responsible for themselves, and birth control is available through most, if not all, Medicaid plans to include sterilization so they don't become "the old lady that lived in a show"!

AH WELL, doubt ure as smart as u thank u are, bet boxing up and giving food stamp recipients boxes of plain food would get rid of plenty of food stamp fraud.
