What frosts me is someone buying lobsters or Delmonico steaks with one in front of me while I'm budgeted to hamburger keeping all the bills and taxes paid.
Overall, the food stamp issue is complicated. It's a STRUCTURAL low wage and jobs problem, and that's not the working class's fault, that's the system and corporate profits so high.

Because of COURSE, the people who work the hardest and pay the most taxes should not ONLY have no say about what their money goes for, BUT should also be called out as the evil "politically incorrect" for daring to say they don't appreciate being abused for carrying those who not only don't pay taxes, but get all kinds of "free" stuff from Uncle Sam around on their backs.
Thanks for reminding me that no matter how much the GOP engages in science denial and tries to deny people sexual and reproductive freedom (which I hate) -- I'd NEVER want to join the Democrats who tend to want to manage everyone else's wallet and property rights -- since that is just as evil, despite being politically correct.
