The Bible tells us that ""If a man will not work, he shall not eat.", therefore a great disservice is being done when money or food is given to this man.
the Bible also says that all farmers should leave 10%+ of their fruit and veggies for the poor to be able to come in and pick for their own food.
many on food stamps DO WORK, and only those that work can even get the EICredit.... so not all the things you and others mentioned even relate to your Bible passage?
and maybe if we as individuals were more giving, the gvt would not be involved....??? who knows?
I do agree that SOME people scam the system.
Some people scam the system?!?
It's a whole lot more than SOME. I can't tell you how often I see people buying groceries with food stamps and then loading up in their Escalades with 22 inch rims.
Those few that do work, work under the table and pay no taxes, nevermind getting EIC.
It's funny that you mention " if we as individuals were more giving, the gvt would not be involved " because I don't see how being forced to pay taxes that end up funding lazy fucks with no incentive to better themselves would be considered "giving".
You take the govt. completely out of the picture and the poor in this country would be better off.
