How do you feel about having your money stolen through taxation to feed people at McD’s, T-Bell, etc? http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/business/2011/09/fast-food-chains-getting-into-the-food-stamp-act/
This country is getting more fucked up by the day. We need to start letting the week and stupid die off like natural selection intended. So first they get fat off my tax dollars, then they use my tax dollars to buy a power chair from the scooter store when their too fat to walk; then they use my tax dollars to have their arteries cleaned out after they got too fat to walk and used my money to buy a god damn power chair from the scooter store.
If you want to eat garbage, get fat and die from a massive heart attack at age 50 that’s fine with me, but I, nor the insurance companies should have to foot the bill.
Taco Bell is probably the cheapest form of food known to Western man. To me, that sounds like efficient use of tax dollars. What irks me is when welfare sponges try to trade food stamps for alcohol or smokes.
.
To get welfare you should have to have a drug test and the amount of money you get is inversely proportional to what you weight. The more you weigh, the less you get.
But maybe it’s just me…

Not as bad as 2004 when hurricane Charley hit Florida and the FEMA money distributed was used at strip clubs, bars, on Tommy Hilfiger jeans and other BULLSHIT. I didnt evacuate not ONE hurricane in
'04-'05 and I lived ON the beach.
Instead I stayed home and rode them out letting people who actually NEEDED it, My whole block didnt have power for 5 weeks. Some in my area was around 2 months. Those 2 months were really hard on me as far as money went, but I knew other people had it worse.
Give the scumbags any kind of help and they take complete advantage of it. The welfare and food stamps are complete and utter bullshit. I wish someone would step up and actually regulate it.
I started a thread a few months back on Fla being the first state to drug test for welfare, they said only TWO people tested positive for drugs, annother member here said "Now if they would only test them ALL instead of a few “Hand picked”.
====================================
My brother won’t eat Taco Bell. He was in the drive-thru while they were unloading a truck. He said a box was marked: “Meat - Fit for Human Consumption”.
He said if it looks so bad that it has to be specially marked to let people know it is edible, he doesn’t want any part of it. He skipped out of line and hasn’t been back.
Makes you wonder…
.
Totally makes sense. This should be applied to food stamps. The more you weigh, or worse your BMI, the less you get…so you can lose some damn weight. Some people, should just get no money…probably take them a f*cking year to lose it all.
I say you on welfare ? then you have to get drug tested and also sign a thing you eat healthy and certain amounts are for certain things
you have to get checked out say monthly and tested etc…
if you have land you get seeds and have to grow certain things etc…
also restrictions
X amount for veggies only
X amount for meats
X amounts for breads starches etc…
X amount for other things
if you got kids X amount for certain things kid need and not sugar cereals in those bread starches
as said tied to weight and proper calories for good nutrition all must be documented and diary of consumption matches receipts of products if not you loose the stamps
but that will never happen sadly
I think a lot of states are just giving them ATM cards now so they can get cash out instead of actual stamps.
Really its gotten to the point you can actually make more money by not working. I think something was even posted here a while ago where for a family you would actually net more money by not working for 40-50k a year and going on welfare than you would working for that 40k a year.
These people vote Democrat.
My buddy in CA was telling me there are cases being reported now of being people going to the casino in CA, withdrawing money and then going gambling with their foodstamp money.
You’re forced to give up your money so that these bottom feeders can eat fast food, use the system as an ATM and if you don’t comply SWAT teams with guns will come to your house and put you in prison. What the fuck kind of country do we live in anymore?
Honestly I’d rather have that than the government getting into the game and opening their own grocery stores and fast food joints and then profiting (again) from their own imposed welfare tax payer theft.
To me I don’t see a huge distinction between people who were given my money and them spending it for food at the local grocery store or spending it at the local McDonalds. I am involuntarily robbed in either scenario.
What pisses me off more is when they somehow still have enough “extra money” for beer, cigarettes, tattoos and lottery tickets.
The funding for beer smokes and tattoos is child support money from one of the multiple fathers of one of the multiple kids they have lol
In my experience such men don’t pay child support. The money seems to come from welfare checks, which unlike food stamps, are cash to spend as you see fit.
You dont hear about it because its called “Wage Garnisment”. Its very common in Fla and other southern states. I cannot comment on other states but Im sure its common there as well.
It is automatically withdrawn from a weekly paycheck
Not real well known but there are programs for people to get paid for babysitting. So they have all these kids, and then setup a system of telling the welfare office they babysit so and so’s kids. They can get some serious money off this.
Food stamps are going away. They use cards now when can be used like a debit card at the register or at an ATM machine. In TX we have the Lone Star Card.
The Texas Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) system uses the Lone Star Card (a magnetic-stripe plastic debit card) to provide access to SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) food benefits and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) benefits. The Lone Star Card is used in the same way any other debit card is used. When you pay for approved food or TANF items, you swipe your Lone Star Card through an electronic device (i.e. a Point of Sale device), enter your unique personal identification number (PIN), and the amount of the purchase is automatically subtracted from your benefit account.

How do I use my Lone Star Card to take out cash?
You can only get cash if you get TANF benefits. Follow these steps to get cash:
Ask the store worker how much cash you can get with
your card at one time. Some stores let you get all your
cash at once. Other stores might let you get only a
certain amount at one time.NOTE: Some stores might charge a fee for taking out
cash. To find out more about fees stores can charge,
click on one of the following links:Follow directions on the machine. This will include typing
in your PIN. Make sure other people can’t see your PIN
when you type it. The directions on the machine also
will ask you how much you want to take out.NOTE: If you type in the wrong PIN, your Lone Star
Card will not work. If you enter the wrong PIN too many
times on the same day, your account will be put on
hold. This means you can’t use your card until you call
1-800-777-7328.If you have enough in your TANF account, the store
worker will give you your money.

Welfare is a vicious circle that never ends. To me it is just one more reason to drown the offspring at birth!
Was that wrong…
The EBT card is for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assitance Program) or as it’s better known, the Food Stamp Program, and can also be used for cash withdrawal transactions if the person is eligible for TAFDC (Transitional Aide to Families with Dependant Children) better known as “welfare”.
The more I read about this shit the more frustrated I get… Stealing money from my family that should be buying healthy food for my child and wife so that some lazy fat fuck can go eat Big Macs, milkshakes and french fries. My only hope is that it’ll kill them off sooner but in actuality more tax dollars will have to be taken from working people to pay for their meds and surgeries in the future.
Another reason you’d get my vote. 
The fathers I’m thinking of typically don’t have a paycheck to garnish. It’s hard to garnish undeclared and/or illegal income.
