Why do Repubs bitch so much about SNAP if the cost is a fraction of the overall welfare budget?

[ScienceRocks]

...and most people receiving SNAP benefits are families with children, disabled, retired, or working families. And those are the people that the Republicans dislike.

All people that republicans want DEAD!!!! It puts a shiver up their leg when a child, disabled person or a poor family dies!!!! It makes them so happy.

The republican party is the party of scrooge! Remember that and don't expect any kind of help when you're down.

Here is the mascot of the republican party!

You think you know what you're talking about
but, you don't have a fucking clue!

When I have a dollar bill and $3.00 in change
to buy a gallon of milk and the grown Hispanic guy
in front of me pulls out a link card to pay for
a bag of Doritos, a case of soda and a frozen pizza...
Yes, I HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THAT!

When I'm at Walmart and standing behind a girl
with a fresh weave, nails done, talking on an iPhone,
3 kids with her, using a link card to pay for a cart of junk food,
and then using the link card a second time to pay for
toys, make up, cigarettes, dog food and a bottle of Crown Royal...
YEAH, YOU BETTER BELIEVE I HAVE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THAT

FOOD STAMPS ARE NOT SO YOU CAN BUY THINGS
YOU OTHERWISE COULDN'T IF YOU HAD TO BUY YOUR OWN FOOD!

NO ONE WILL STARVE, THEY'LL HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE!

I DONT HATE POOR PEOPLE,
I HELP POOR PEOPLE WITH WHAT LITTLE I HAVE!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU HELPED SOMEONE IN NEED?
WHEN HAVE YOU FED OR CLOTHED SOMEONE BITCH?

HOW MANY WINTER COATS, BOOTS, HATS, GLOVES AND BLANKETS
HAVE YOU DONATED/BOUGHT FOR THE NEEDY THIS WINTER BITCH?

I DISPISE IRRESPONSIBILITY!
FUCK OFF YOU POMPOUS AIRBAG!

1) SNAP only pays for food.

2) How do you even know the person in front of you uses Food Stamps? Maybe you should mind your own business?

Maybe you should mind your own business?

Damn it...it is my business!

I'm 49 and have been working since I was 14...
I babysat and walked kids to school, at 15 worked
at a hamburger stand for cash under the table,
and been paying taxes since I was 16.

I have made poor choices and haven't expected
anyone else to be responsible for them.
I do what I have to do to take care of me and my son.
Who, btw, is mentally challenged and legally blind
in one eye...do I milk disability...NO!

PLEASE GO PLAY IN TRAFFIC!

lol ok so you've seen people on food stamps? So what? How does that make you an authority on the subject?

Oye vay... The lights are on but no one is home!

You've made yourself an authority on the subject,
I was clueing you in, so, wtf are you talking about?

Duh, nevermind... stupid question!
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!

I gave objective facts. You didn't. I have more credibility.

I gave objective facts. You didn't. I have more credibility.

What? You think poverty level thresholds matter

For every 1 person that truly needs assistance,
there are 9 that don't!

First of all, no one should keep having children
they can't financially support... period!

If someone is already receiving assistance
to support their child/ren, and they get pregnant,
despite being unable to support the kids they already have,
then their assistance shouldn't increase...
you do not 'reward' irresponsibility!

No one should be entering this country,
and expecting or receiving the means to live,
when they've never even contributed financially.

Welfare should be like unemployment...
You don't put in, you don't get out.
There is a limit, when it's gone, it's gone!

If food stamps(SNAP)enables someone to...
keep their cable, internet
get their hair and nails done
buy booze and smokes
buy toys and make up
buy chips, candy, cookies, soda

THEN THEY DONT NEED IT!

SNAP IS BECAUSE YOU CANT AFFORD FOOD
NOT TO ENABLE YOU TO AVOID SACRIFICING!

I LIVE OFF OF $250 A MONTH IN FOOD FOR 2,
$125 EVERY 2 WEEKS, NO CAR, NO CELL PHONE...
RENT, ELECTRIC, CABLE AND INTERNET..THATS IT!

I HAD MY COOKING GAS SHUT OFF IN 2004
AND USE ELECTRIC BURNERS, A SLOW COOKER
AND A FULL SIZED TOASTER OVEN!

BACK THEN IS WAS A SAVINGS OF OVER $60 A MONTH
PEOPLE WILL DO WHAT THEY HAVE TO
JUST AS WELL AS, WON'T DO WHAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO!

 

[keepitreal]

You fucking asshole, they use a blue link card...
If they get cash assistance, it's also on the link card

If they are swiping the link card, it's paying for the food...
If they use it immediately after that, they're using
the cash on the card to pay for the cash purchases...
I'm also a cashier...THATS HOW I FUCKING KNOW!
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO USE 2 OR 3 CARDS...BITCH

THE ARAB STORES OVER HERE WILL TAKE YOUR LINK CARD
FOR CIGARETTES AND BOOZE AND CHARGE YOU DOUBLE!

YOU'RE BABBLING ABOUT SHIT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT!

I know facts lol. You just know what you pretend to be true about SNAP users.

I know for a fact you don't have a clue or know shit!
I know for a fact what I'm saying is the truth!

Statistics overrule anecdotal stories anyday.

Yeah, according to statistics, Hillary should be PotUS!

If clueless assholes could fly,
this place would be a fucking airport!

You do know the difference between polling and statistics right?

I most certainly do...do you?

So much fraud its heartbreaking....I wish they would give food like years ago to stop abuse. Powered milk, honey, cheese, butter, dried beans and rice, canned meats, dried fruit, etc.

Big Agriculture killed that program and is responsible for the program that is now so profitable for them. When the food surplus program was popular, most of the funds went to family farmers. Now it goes to corporate middle men.

 

[ScienceRocks]

The rich are taking all the profit and forcing the worker to use food stamps to feed their families. Guess who you side with??? The 1%!

The rich are robbing us blind!!! The poor need help just to stay alive.

Where was the outrage, the protesters, the boycotts?

Companies don't respond to hearing backlash,
but, by seeing a monetary backlash!... collectively

There are not enough people willing to collectively
sacrifice, go without and be inconvenienced
for companies to give a shit.

Bitch, my mother passed away 2 years ago,
I'm not a guy and I live in an apartment with my son.

DO NOT bring up my mother ever again!

Answer the fucking question...
Which companies do you boycott?

 

[Conservative65]

I honestly think it is because they like feeling righteous and superior to people who they perceive to be "losers". It gives them a hard-on to say to themselves "yeah! I'm a self-made man! I'm tougher than nails! I provide for my family! I don't need hand-outs!"

The truth is that republicans don't even know who is on food stamps. The large majority of households on food stamps have children in them, for instance. Even then these people get peanuts in benefits. Oh, and any head of the household on food stamps has a job.

Also, did you notice how I said "households"? The job income eligibility is based on the total income that household makes. It isn't based on an individual's income alone. A household would have to make 130% of the poverty line at the most to qualify. Now this may sound like a lot, but it is a figure that has not kept up with the rise in inflation the last couple of decades.

So you think it has anything to do with the amount?

To be honest the republican party hates poor people as they feel they're inferior and should just die.

Food stamps are cheap and in fact increase the size of the economy while helping people...But, you can't convince these evil bastards of that as they want them DEAD!

1) It's not my responsibility to do for people what they won't do for themselves. Therefore, I cannot be held accountable for not supporting that isn't my responsibility to fund.

2) You do believe you have a responsibility to provide for others who won't provide for themselves.

3) Because of those two, if anyone suffers because they won't do for themselves, it's your fault. You believe they deserve someone else's money but you won't voluntarily give them yours.
