No food stamps for any family of a striking worker

We could have an honest debate on how to reform or even eliminate food stamps but that isn't what this is. This is having the government pick winners and losers based on politics... I thought you conservatives were against that?

Try and look at the big picture... would you want to deny food stamps to Christians because they refuse to work on the sabbath? or someone that quite a job for ethical reasons?

Food stamps are the lowest most basic social safety net there is and if you start politicizing it will become a huge mess like the tax code.

Just base it on need and feed the hungry. Don't use food as a political weapon.

You have a weak argument. I don't care who they are even my own family if you quit a job you do not deserve help from the government. You or they made the c hoice to quit or go on strike. let the unions they love so much love them now.

Your logic:
So if your dad quits his job from an unethical employer and starts his own business but doesn't quite make enough to feed his family then he shouldn't be able to get food stamps.

but

some deadbeat gets fired should qualify?

No one deserves the fruits of another man's labor unless it is voluntarily given to him.
 
lol, if you want to refuse to work, that is your choice, and I wouldn't infringe on that. But expecting the taxpayer to feed you while doing it is nuts, and indicitive of the "owed a living" mentallity of these type of individuals.
 
And I was responding to your comment.
" he makes less than the average wall street worker"

News flash his salary is paid for by striking union workers.

How do you know how much Trumpka makes? And what are your sources?

I didn't say how much he made, He is the president of the union. Do the math. But then again I did say

You never quit a job until you have something to go to and thats including starting your own business. It's a cold world provide for yourself or you die.

Do you think anyone should get food stamps?

If so, who and based on what criteria?

If you are not physically able to work, such as bed ridden You should get food stamps, if you are old you should get food stamps. If you have lost a job that is not fault of your own you should get food stamps.
But if you have the latest cell phone, cable TV, internet, do not submit your week money expenditure to social services you do not get anything. Because if you have the money for all that stuff you have the money to buy food.

ThatÂ’s the price I would enforce for those receiving food stamps.

Fair enough... but your suggestions amount to reform not political targeting.

BTW, who gets to decide this one "If you have lost a job that is not fault of your own you should get food stamps."
 
We are the wealthiest nation on earth. We are not Calcutta

We can afford to provide food for all Americans whether you think they deserve it or not

What happens when 99 poercent of the people decide they want to get food stamps and quit their jobs who will be paying for them?

We have food stamps and 99% of the people are not quitting.

What do we do with the kids of all these people that you deem unqualified for food stamps. Let them starve?... have the government adopt them?

Unfortunately, 85 percent of food stamp recipients are children.

Most fs recipients (adults) work.

I honestly don't see many problems with the program. It helps to ofset the unnaturally high price of food in a land that HAS a surplus of food, but has people who can't afford to buy the good stuff.

It's not fair. If someone only makes $10 an hour and the union worker makes $15 an hour and decides to strike then that is not fair. Explain to me how that is fair to the guy making $10 an hour. Go for it.


It is an example of how people working together collectively be more successful in a capitalistic system. Of course many Republicans would love to get rid of unions because they are pro-business not pro free market.

So the guy making $10 an hour and is paying for the food stamps of a guy who quit a job paying $15 an hour is now called "working together".

There you have it folks. They screw you and then they insult you. Not even a thank you kiss.

If you envy the standard of living of those who are unemployed....go ahead and quit your job

Someone making $10 an hour isn't likely to be paying any federal income taxes.

I have no problem with the program although there can always be improvements.

I was just trying to figure out it they were coming from a libertarian view point or just and anti-union bias.
