Most of the people on food stamps either work or have recently worked. Food stamps are currently being used as a subsidy for low wages. You could get more people off food stamps with a decent raise in the minimum wage than doing some kind of forced labor bullshit that would only serve to satisfy your authoritarian urges.You are part of a small minority of deadbeats who do not want to pay their fair share of the taxes. You and your kind will go to any length to achieve this end, including the demonization of single-parent families struggling to make ends meet and people of color in general in an attempt to justify your self-centered actions, by pretending that all welfare recipients are black and lazy and criminals and all have children sired by multiple fathers.
Instead of taking part in the effort to make this country a better place for all to live you make yourself a part of the problem, because you are so afraid that you yourself might one day become one of the less fortunate.
It is this very same fear that forced people of color into segregated parts of the cities and towns all across American and kept most from acquiring good jobs. The result of which produced poverty, a high crime rate and an overall sense of hopelessness and despair.
Ironically, the fear that you people have and many before you had is the very thing that created this problem.
You reap what you sow.
I don't have a problem paying taxes, I have a problem when my taxes are used for vote buying and charity.
Force charity is not charity at all. Force charity is theft. And not that I even mind helping out the truly needy in our country, it's just that the system is way over abused.
I'm using my own personal experiences topped off with what I see happening right in front of me every day. Do you really want to see us make a better place for everybody? Then anybody physically and mentally capable of having a job doesn't get anything from taxpayers. That's how you make a better country.
