all the geriatric drugs you could imagine ..Well, from the hate expressed he
I realize you are a genius but the reality is that they just recently closed down a couple of stores locally for doing just that. They scan a milk carton, a box of cereal, etc that equals more than the cost of a pack of cigarettes and hand the guy with the card a pack of cigarettes.
So what? They are allotted a certain amount of money per month or week, however they calculate it. If the people spend their money/food stamps on something other than what they were meant for, then they aren't getting anymore money or food stamps. They go hungry or without something else that they need. There are going to be people who take advantage of EVERY system. Also, as you noted, those stores were closed down.
Yes they were but there are many more that are still doing it. The point is who is the loser. The guy paid more for the cigarettes than anyone else who had the cash would have paid. The store owner made a great profit. It was the taxpayer who got screwed again.
Many more people are helped than are harmed by social safety nets. Ask anyone who has ever NEEDED it.
Who said any different? Are you on drugs?
No, I don't do drugs. Are you on drugs?
