Does this jackass Booker really think that it's the government's responsibility to rob from those who work for a living so as to supplement the lifestyles of those who don't? (Yes apparently he does)
Does he really think that someone's mere existence obligates his fillow citizens to provide him a living (Again apprently yes) BUT IT'S FOR THE CHILDREN.
Sorry , they're not my children. Not one of these parasites on food stampe came to me and said, "He Occupied GA, I'm going to screw out a litter of kids and I want you to pay for their housing, their health care, their eiducation, and their food. That OK with you?" I'm sure I would have remembered.
Another thing the a$$hole booker ignores is where does the money come from. Every dollar that EBT parasites consume is taken at gunpoint from some hardworking American. So if some lazy parasite like Lakisha Spreademwide or "spunkets" gets $60 a week to spend of expensive frozen entrees, then Occupied Ga (or some other WORKING American) has $60 LESS to spend on what he wants during the week.
Drivel like this that oozes from the mouths of liberals makes my hair hurt.
Apparently, the scribbler of this piece is parasiting off the McDonald’s-only diet in order grab some attention.
It’s called “supplemental” for a reason, not that reason means anything to the scribbler of this piece.
If someone is eligible for SNAP, then they are eligible for other handouts. Total all the handouts possible and the average recipient makes nearly $60,000 a year to sit on his or her ass doing nothing but drinking and smoking and making illegitimate babies all day.
Meanwhile, the rest of us are working our asses off to pay for this, missing time with our friends and families, scrimping and saving just to get by and pay our bills.
That’s the difference between the takers and the givers in our society.
And the scribbler of this piece of junk is looking for “justice” for the takers of society?
We should demand justice. And we should start by “going Galt” and figuring out a way to cut the revenue stream to the legalized thieves that are supposed to represent US the productive members of society (the givers) NOT the takers.
Need coordinated pressure to end this program completely.
General welfare is not Personal Welfare.
In reality for every $60.00 the parisite gets from the government , they're actually taking about $100.00 from somebody who works. Can't forget the costs of the government bureaucrats needed to administer these programs.
This "experiment" is faulty in it's basic premise. Food Stamps were never designed as something to live on , isn't is called "supplemental" income (or some other Orwellian sounding name). This means it's only supposed to be a temporary thing to tide you over while you looked for work or because you only can get part time work etc.
I don't know of anybody who would deny help to someone truly in need, what most conservatives (and fair minded people) disagree with is the way these programs are implemented , and expanded to become a way of life.
Food justice = starvation under communism
Does that include alcohol, cigarettes and a widescreen TV?
Or tips for Madame Velveeta down at the local exotic dancers bar (you know, the one that accepts EBT cards)?
Any use of the word “justice” other than to describe the legal system or its functions always signals an intention to conceal or validate theft by the state on behalf of an aggrieved class.
What an ignoramous! The “S” stands for “supplemental” fir a reason: it supplements other income. Most people who aren’t crackheads will feed themselves and their children before running out of money even on such necessities as shelter. Water has greater priority, but that’s about it. Food stamps function primarily to defer other costs, such as satellite tv.
Which isn’t to say there’s no such thing as starving kids. Lock up their parents instead of paying them off, though, because they’re criminals. If they are criminal, why couldn’t they trade food stamps for goods beyond food? Because there are laws? There’re laws against child abuse and neglect too.
Stamps also magically create more putative starvation, since you gotta be starving to get free money. So, uh, yeah, I was “food insecure” last week. On Monday I wasn’t sure what I’d eat on Friday. So I turned off the flat screen, drove my car downtown, finished my cell phone conversation, put my keys in my designer Jean pocket, and said to the nice government lady, “I’m hungry.”
People in this country make me sick, we have the leader we deserve, just as Hamilton said, and we will get just what we as a nation deserve for allowing abortion to continue unabated, for the left to advance their agenda with the very help of people in the republican party, we never in the last 50 years did a thing to demand that this be stopped, we were all too busy, working and paying taxes and thinking everything was wonderful.
I look forward to my trip to the re-education camp where I can at least get some rest before my execution.
If you could go back to preparing foods from basic staple ingredients as our great-grandparents did, you could actually eat rather well on $4.32 a day.
There is a gigantic pile of wrong in this.
To start with, the US has a perpetual overabundance in food, that viciously whipsaws farmers for the simple reason that too much food hurts their bottom line worse than a scant harvest.
For this reason, since FDR, food production in the US has been essentially nationalized, or really the fascist economics equivalent to nationalization, the “public-private partnership.”
As such, the idea of food stamps is not a bad one, if the emphasis is on two things:
1) Food stamps should focus on reducing overabundant foods, and second, on nutritional value for children.
2) Food stamps should be solely by block grants to the states. Leave it up to the states to figure out how much of what types of foods are too much, and how to distribute this extra food to the poor.
3) Recognition that despite what Michelle Obama wants people to eat, many people are more willing to starve than eat what she wants them to eat. So an overabundance of kumquats and bean sprouts will rot, but an overabundance of corn, wheat flour, beans and peanuts will generally be popular.
4) People who can buy their food prefer processed food, so food stamp food should be processed just minimally, so there is only limited competition. Sorry, Kellogg’s, your overpriced, sugar coated boxed junk should not be part of the food stamps program.
The use of the word “Justice” outside a legal context is usually used by leftists to promote some radical program.
The left has a distorted idea of justice. “Justice” is not coercing money from the producers to give to able-bodied lazy morons. Real justice is getting what you earn, not what you think you are entitled to.
If 0 bummer had a brother, he’d look like cory. Nuff said.
What part of “Supplemental” doesn’t he understand?
The original point was not to provide all the food a person needs.
There is no justice in making people comfortable in their poverty. That is a recipe to keep them poor. Someone who has their fridge filled and their heat paid for by the state has less incentive to get a job than someone whose stomach is empty and an apt at 40 degrees.
Anything tagged with the word "Justice" means taking from those who've worked for and earned it in order to give to those that haven't.
It sounds nice to those on the receiving end, though: "Get the food/money/house/car/phone/job/etc. YOU DESERVE!"
It don't see how we combat this. I'm losing faith. I think that the parasites have finally killed the host.
eliminate food stamps and everyone pay full price for what they eat!!!
Make your own way in this world or lie down and die!!!
Not a good test. Many, many crumb-crunchers get free breakfast and lunch at school. Some places even give them a free dinner!
So Cory should go to a local school everyday, eat breakfast and lunch and then take his extra SNAP cash and go get his nails done.
People like him are why I created the blog in my tagline.
