Anyone upset about food stamps is scum

22. I agree with you

As a kid in a poor family we received commodities as they called it. No food stamps just made our parents go to the fairgrounds and be treated like cattle to get their food dished out by how many members in the family were living at home. Some of those winters we would have starved. I'm still thin and I believe it is largely because of the fact I never had a full stomach as a kid.
Poor people living in a poor section of the country is not a crime and shouldn't be allowed to be seen as that.
We weren't poor because we wanted to be, we were poor because of the area where we lived never came back from the dust bowl days. We had property and a house although at the time neither were worth much but at least we had a place to live, a roof over our heads, a yard to play in, a garden spot to raise the food we mostly ate.
My mother could take a few beans, a few potatos and some flour and our wood fired kitchen stove and turn out a meal that would melt in your mouth. Just wasn't enough of it is all.
