To Republicans, federal food assistance is not to help those in need.

It is to subsidize cheap labor for corporations.

Tens of millions of Americans are working their asses off and are still below the poverty line.

No one is refusing to work so they can get that sweet 2 to 6 dollar a day in SNAP benefits.
