Showing Original Post only (View all)Food Stamps ***Rant*** [View all]
I get sick of the bullshit about what someone buys with Foodstamps The People who get them have to work them off at a rate of about $4 dollars an hour They don't sit on their ass and get Foodstamps it doesn't happen anymore They work harder and for less money than most and Definitely harder than Congress and Mitt Romney so Shut the Fuck Up and Mind your Own Damn Business
