In reply to the discussion: Anyone upset about food stamps is scum [View all]glowing
(12,233 posts)What you should be working on in concert with other Americans is pushing for better worker's rights.. Which means collective bargaining, a minimum wage that pays an affordable living wage, and a slew of other items like paid time off, maternity/ paternity paid leave, sick time, and holiday time off or paid double time for.
I don't care what type of food a family that is using their EBT card buys with it. I'm not looking in the fat person's cart who is buying steak, chips, and cake, knowing he's a heart attack or diabetic waiting to happen and will cost more in medical care... Significantly more than the person buying shrimp. Or is their a specific menu poor people are allowed to choose from?
Being jealous of my neighbor fixes nothing. Division has kept us all down and has let Republicans win time and time again, which has turned this country into shambles. Be happy they are eating and keeping a Shrimp Boat Captain running his boat and keeping a crew.
I'm actually more pissed off at the Mitt Romney types hoarding their money in tax free shelters and making it tougher and tougher for the rest of the people in the country to make it. The Rich have bought the politicians and have worked the country over... they have made those at the bottom squabble over the scraps, while they eat the biggest piece of the pie... Nope, not mad at someone using food stamps. I'm more than fed up with the Rich eating it all up, and leaving scraps. They enjoy expensive bottles of wine and caviar and lobster and organic foods all cooked for them by a personal chef... all because they buy the politicians to keep their lifestyle for their elite selves.
