Fixed.
Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

After working for years in a grocery store and watching 96% of them buy this stuff I’d have to say that you are truly clueless about the welfare class.The Bible says charity which means willing giving not being forced by the government to pay and pay for those who you would never help out in the first place.
You may be the exception......but the "rule" I see is that the general welfare people don't want to play by the rules the rest of us are required to.
You think we're all ELITIST? I got married at 17 to get out of a bad home. We were POOR as church mice and struggled for the first five or so years. No one would gave us handouts when we needed medical/dental care or food...because we didn't "qualify"... and our families weren't much better off.. no help there either.
We worked HARD, drove clunkers and did ANYTHING we had to....to pay our bills honestly... and paid our OWN way through college, etc. I've helped friends who got their electricity cut off....bought groceries and Christmas for their kids....volunteered at food pantries, etc.....
So.. don't give me your crap about being an elitist.
BTW I didn't start this, I just said my mind, kind of like EVERYONE else here.
You shouldn’t make assumptions about me or anyone, maybe you missed this part,”I realize there are many who USE the system for their own gain, but there are other Hard Working Poor People out there who need our help.”
This person will obviously be hit hard by not having our pocketbook to pick...
“they should turn off their cell phones, the cable TV, the internet, stop smoking, stop drinking and get a darn job.
You forgot about the Lottery tickets. I cannot believe the poor folks I see ...who buy $20 worth of those tickets at a time.”
Really, THE ABOVE is YOUR POST tell me YOU dont sound ELITIST.
Chris....thy name is hypocrisy... LOL
Maybe you missed post 27.
Chris Darlin......your willful ignorance is showing. Oops... does that sound “elitist” as well? *chuckle*
Maybe you missed post #22?
Some of you are so damn** judgmental. Many of these people who receive help are among the working poor. That means those who DO have a job. And, for those who don’t, and aren’t lazy, what jobs are there out there? Its difficult to even get hired at MickeyD’s right now.
Grow up in your thinking, and don’t forget there are children who innocently, will be affected.
And, I for one, do not mind helping out for those who have fallen on hard times. SOme of you are sickening.
By throwing the word "ALL" in there you've made an ASS of yourself in the world of debate. We're debating what the majority of them do. No doubt you can find SOME who are using their fellow citizens' looted funds well, but EVERY TIME I see an EBT card payer at the grocery store I see either the most expensive of food - the best cuts and lots of frozen pre-prepared stuff or I see a division with the grocery items in one pile and the pet food and beer in a second - grocery itmes paid for on EBT and the beer and pet food paid another way - or both.
Earlier this week I was behind a woman (for descriptive purposes only black) with super long fancy nails who used an EBT card to pay for a couple of frozen pizzas, since i only had a bunch of bananas and got out right behind her and I was able to see what she got into carwise - are you ready for this? a relatively new shiny blue Mercedes SL - Now if she can afford to make the downpayment and keep up the payments on a $104,000 car, then she sure as hell doesn't need to be robbing me to pay for her groceries
Good thing there is NOTHING in the Bible about helping others.
OH and FYI Good Buddy, There is a BIG difference between helping others voluntarily (called charity) and being robbed and the loot given to others (welfare) Since you appear to condone theft as long as the loot is used to help those who won't help themselves, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the part of the bible that says "Thou shalt not steal."
OK, once more, just a quick question though, how can you ALMOST read so many of my posts and not read what I am saying?
I have said from my first post here on this thread, I realize there are Bad People who use the system for their gain. I also realize there are Good People who just happen to have little money. Go ahead Attack again. What if you are poor you are NO GOOD? Maybe you should check out Mark 12:42
Great Post!
Since you appear to condone theft as long as the loot is used to help those who won’t help themselves, I suggest you familiarize yourself with the part of the bible that says “Thou shalt not steal.”
Since I Appear to Condone theft? How pray tell did you come to this conclusion? What did I say that says I condone theft?
Since you appear to make crap up as needed you APPEAR to be a DEMOCRAT!
Fixed.
See now thats funny.
BTW....when someone comes on a board with "conservative" in their name...and the first words in their post is "I'm a conservative"...it's a red flag to the rest of us.....that most likely you're a lib in conservative clothing. JMHO
How about in the next quote from you unless you're talking about private charity. However, since this is a thread about government assistance, I have to assume you're talking aobut welfare
but there are other Hard Working Poor People out there who need our help
Sounds to me like you are condoning welfare right there.
