Pesky Republicans want to Ban EBT cards at Strip Clubs

what a joke these people will spend their hand outs on any thing and every thing except food and bills, and why should they get 3 strikes? I say you get caught spending your food stamps on any thing besides food you get kicked out for life and any store selling liquor or cigarette or any thing other than food for stamps would lose that privilege one strike your out for life!
 
It seems that all this could be done electronically. Don't the food stamp cards prevent non-food items from being rung up?

Or are these withdrawals coming from ATM machines?

Your last point; withdrawals coming from ATM machines inside liquor stores, strip clubs and casinos.

I suppose that it is questionable why they would need cash withdrawals. To pay rent? Isn't there a program for that?
 
Those Republicans say they're all about "personal freedom" yet they want to stop poor people from using their EBT cards at strip clubs, liquor stores, or casinos.

This is unconstitutional!

Yep, the right to welfare is stated right in the Constitution!
 
The Left should arrive anytime now to condemn the Right for not wanting tax dollars to go to a Strip Club.

Why not? They built the case for law student at Georgetown who could get all sorts of loans for her 1 percenter lifestyle education having US taxpayers fund her contraceptives.
 
For the half of the dupes who are totally clueless, people on welfare get cash as well as foodstamps, for which they have to apply for jobs and work at crummy jobs at min. wage for ALL benefits, unless they are disabled, and there are not plenty of jobs of ANY kind, unless you're talking about engineering, tech etc, which you have cut funding of education for. How bout a real gd Jobs bill, ignorant brainwashed functional idiots?
Not to mention most inner cities have no real grocery stores, and a strip club might be the only place to use an ATM...
 
...and the Village idiot shows up right on cue.

It would be just like you to spend your assistance money on something like this and letting your people who need to eat starve.

Somebody has too much time on their hands.

Absolutely. If you're on welfare you shouldn't have time to go to strip clubs or liquor stores in the first place. You should be working.

Receiving public assistance doesn’t mean one forfeits his civil liberties, either.

And millions who do receive pubic assistance via EBT cards are working.

Further, EBT cards are used for more than just public assistance.

EBT cards can be used at ATMs to withdraw cash from them, including ATMs inside strip clubs, bars, liquor stores, ect. That's a fact.

Republicans are trying to prevent EBT cards from being used at ATMs inside those places.

It’s just as likely ATMs in those venues were accessed to withdraw cash subsequently used to buy food, clothing, and pay the rent.

The proposed law would be struck down as un-Constitutional.

There is no evidence pubic assistance recipients are making cash withdraws and using the funds to buy tobacco, liquor, or to gamble.

Without evidence of wrong-doing, this measure singles out a particular class of persons for punitive actions absent due process.

Consequently republicans are solely motivated by animus toward those receiving public assistance.

There are but many are not eligible for such assistance, or the assistance is one time only, or there is a waiting list for such programs. Many live in situations where landlords will accept only cash, particularly if recipients are temporarily in an hotel or boardinghouse.
 
Moron, every withdrawal is monitored.

If they use it at a strip club it should be taken away, or you could pay for that shit..cause we'll tell you to fuck off kid.

I can't help it that your idiocy makes it virtually impossible for anyone to like or respect you.

You've yet to say one logical thing ever Jake....I hate to think of the hereditary effects that this might have on any procreative acts you've considered.


Looking in the mirror again, Scooby Roo. :lol:

(smile) That would be you and Franco Jake...

Two of the most idiotic posters on the board....Joe is right there with you.

And you are the village idiot.
 
The fact that lefties and reactionaries and libertarians don't like me cheers me immensely.

The fact that they don't respect me is immaterial, for that has no real meaning in the world.

Face it, guys, you play dimes on me and I flatten you. Fact of life.

If you want to be polite, we can do that, and it begins with you.

I've yet to see you "flatten" anyone kid :)

You simply are not intelligent enough....I'm sorry...I know it hurts.
