That story fit a longtime conservative suspicion that poor people use food stamps to purchase luxury items. Now, a Republican state lawmaker in Missouri is pushing for legislation that would stop people like Greenslate and severely limit what food stamp recipients can buy. The bill being proposed would ban the purchase with food stamps of "cookies, chips, energy drinks, soft drinks, seafood or steak."
Missouri Republicans are trying to ban food stamp recipients from buying steak and seafood - The Washington Post
Banning food stamps for thugs who spend it on luxury items, or they're trying to destroy welfare system?
I think that the only way to stop these people to spend our tax money on unnecessary items - is to create list of goods they can buy! And what do you think guys?
People on food stamps should be expected to suffer
How else will they seek to better themselves?
I'm thinking road kill, dumpster diving and expired food
If they can get more in the multiple and redundant handout programs than they can make working using the skills they offer, what incentive is there for them to better themselves.
didn't Obama everyone should have some skin in the game? But now a Republican suggest anything on food stamps, welfare etc. we get threads such as this..it's the same old BS
What he meant was that those who won't vote for him should have skin in the game so those who will vote for him can be pandered to with that money.
