REGARDING:
“i’m sure your children when they become grown adults will follow suit ”

Most likely, since they’ve been taught that they have a right to whatever others earned, they will just cut out the middle man and directly take whatever they want from the owners rather than wait for the government to take its cut first.

At some point they will be shot and killed or jailed while doing so and we will be told society is to blame and that we need to give more. Others will pass judgment on us for judging them to have done something bad against their neighbors.

David for better people

@Tony If you can’t find a job where you are, then move! Believe me, I understand the low paying job situation. That’s why I work out of town and am only home on weekends…..it’s called sacrificing for your family. I also have to ask, are you accessing the internet from the library on a publicly funded computer or do you have your very own device and internet connection to do so? If so, maybe you should give up some luxuries and buy food!

@Danny First of all, thank you for your service as a Marine to this country. I firmly believe veterans deserve benefits…..they paid for that right by voluntarily serving. I find it deplorable that illegal aliens have more benefits than our veterans. Come to this country illegally and receive free health care, free housing and a free education. And yes, the Democrats can be thanked for that debacle!!

Nobody has a right to food stamps. It isn’t like Social Security where you spend your working years paying into a system so that you will have benefits down the road. Serving in the military does not confer a right to food stamps or any other welfare benefits. Owning a home means you have an asset to sell or borrow against so that you don’t need government assistance.

Food stamps are a privilege that is all too often abused by people who believe the government or society owes them something, or by people who continue to have children secure in the knowledge that they will get more of a handout for every child. I wish the entire program would be scrapped in favor of the old commodities program.

I think this should apply to those with children who are in school all day. They can work too. 20 hours a week for additional training or even volunteer work is certainly doable.

Need to trash all food stamps- go back to the old days of getting commodities – peanut butter- butter-chipped beef in a can etc…try and trade a can of peanut butter for drugs.
In the 50s and 60s – how the hell did we get buy without a government paid Obama cell phone.
Drug dealers are still loving our President for the Obama phones
The world has become lazy and expects something for doing nothing

Tony, I think it should be my RIGHT, as a taxpayer, to not give you one penny of my hard-earned money. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” Get out there and pursue your own damn money. Work is available for anybody that wants it. “Can’t find a job,” is a LIE and an EXCUSE to be a bloodsucking bum.

@Tony – sorry. You do not have a “right”. You have a RESPONSIBILITY to provide for your family. That INCLUDES relocating if you can’t find work in this area. The taxpayers should not have to be obligated to support you while you sit at home discussing your distorted views about “rights”.
