Oh, SNAP! the far right myths are snapped

The far right hypocrites once again have been easily slapped down.

Taxation in a constitutional republic is moral. You are letting your feelings get the better of you.

Taxation is only Moral when it is a flat system and when its proceeds are used for legitimate, Constitutional purposes.

Actually emotions are the last thing I'm using. It's you folks who throw away your time emotionally attached to these wastes of flesh and oxygen who can't support themselves.

No wonder you fit so poorly on this right leaning board, much less society.

Anathema, your statement is immoral.

LOL. Morality is defined by Right and Wrong not by feeling good about yourself.

It is not moral to allow people to steal from you or to support people who can't or won't support themselves.

The OP stated that the "overwhelming majority" were supporting themselves. Next time ask an adult to explain the OP to you before you make yourself look foolish.

But the Economy, all you lefties talk about is soooo much better, why then NO ONE getting off of FOOD STAMPS as the supposed Unemployment rate is ONLY 5.4%....We know, Libs and DemocRATS LIE!!!

Food Stamp Beneficiaries Exceed 46,000,000 for 37 Straight Months

CNSnews ^ | December 10, 2014 | Ali Meyer
The number of beneficiaries who receive compensation from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps, has topped 46,000,000 for 37 straight months, according to data released by the Department of Agriculture (USDA). In September 2014, which is the latest data from the USDA, there were 46,459,998 Americans who received assistance from the SNAP program. The number of beneficiaries has exceeded 46 million since September 2011, a total of 37 months, or more than three years. [snip]Households on food stamps in September got an average of $252.69 during the month, and the program benefits cost taxpayers $5,748,809,023....

Because 60% of those who receive food stamps (excluding children and the totally disable) have jobs. So increased employment has only a small impact on these SNAP recipients. Most SNAP recipients that were unemployed during the recession and found jobs as the recession ended moved from unemployment to low paying jobs so they were still received SNAP but smaller payments.

Bullshit, you're saying that 40% of the 46 million should be effected in some way, by the lower unemployment rate, that's 18 MILLION, and we see NO DECLINE in the numbers... someone lies, and it isn't me!

Case Worker Illegal Aliens Got Food Stamps by the Vanload - Judicial Watch

The op is patently false with many articles debunking it. Real world experiences also debunk it. All these hundreds of thousands of kids that just came in last year are all getting food stamps and they are all very illegal.

Is anyone else seeing a full court press of liberals authoring falsehoods, lies, and obfuscation on an industrial scale now that repubs are in control of congress. Take note of the flood,of propaganda recently showing up: Ebola, Isis, food stamps, middle class tax cuts, obama gas, anti-capitalism rants, and on and on. The old just say it enough times and it must be true ploy is being fed steroids by the left. Take up all the oxygen and there will not be any air left for the truth.

That poorly written diatribe contradicts itself.

Starkey's perfect economy would have everyone on food stamps and unemployment

The OP doesn't know it's ass from its elbow. The majority of my wife's family is on SNAP and my mother - in - law is director if a trio of assistance programs. So I get to see and hear about the realities of these programs up close and personal.

The INTOLERANCE of the Communist Left shows why we laugh at them when they play the "We are the TOLERANT ones" card!

LOL. My position is totally valid because it's based on morals and Decency instead of Liberal crap which is all you folks have on your side.

Your "morality" is to let children die of starvation.

I'm saying that life is about investments and investing in the poor gets you no return on that investment. If you can't take care of yourself you don't deserve to continue consuming resources that could be better used by others.

You are being an asshole to the wrong crowd. If I go to work everyday and can still qualify for food stamps, then guess what. I am going to go get me some food stamps. I would be fucking stupid to NOT take advantage of that program. You take advantage of whatever government giveaway you can don't ya?

You need to get on the Republican majorities in Congress to pass a law with a veto proof majority to make it illegal to receive stamps IF you have a job.

Can you will you do that? If not, shut the fuck up about poor people getting food stamps. They ain't stupid. They work. They don't get paid much. But they didn't make the rules you stupid shit.

You Republicans got your majority. Now do something with it. End the food stamp program for people who work.

How is the GOP supposed to do that when your lame ass president vows to veto even bi-partisan bills passed in congress?

If you go to work every day and you still qualify for food stamps I would suggest you "go get you" a new job! And if you can't? Then my guess is that you probably ARE stupid! Capitalism doesn't reward underachievers...it simply doesn't! It punishes them.
