People receiving welfare are complaining they now cannot buy candy and soda with tax money they are given

[rightwinger]

Love watching Conservatives nitpick over what poor people can eat

But a corporation gets to write off a corporate jet when they could just as easily fly economy class.
While a poor person is not allowed to buy a liter of soda, a Corporate Executive can write off a dinner with clients at a Five Star Restaurant. Clients are capable of paying for their own dinner.

Iran having Nukes isn't our problem.

only because they don't have them

It's Israel's problem, but that's what they get for stealing someone else's land.

do you believe you also deserve "what you get" because, to paraphrase, 'you stole someone else's land'?

do you believe you also deserve "what you get" because, to paraphrase, 'you stole someone else's land'?

Plus, the Jews didn’t steal anyone’s land. It was given to them, and most of the Arabs were paid for their land.

On the other hand, take a look at what the Islamists did - slaughtering and conquering their way across Northern African, the Middle East, and even Spain.

The antisemites never mention that part. Just that Da Jooz “stole” much land that they now have 00.4% of it, and the Muslims have 99.6%.

Says who? Plenty of mothers with five illegitimate kids who work NO jobs, and live off food stamps, subsidized rent, Medicaid, and TANF.

You are clueless.

If not for hate for others, you would have nothing.

And besides, what do welfare leeches demanding we buy them candy have to do with the Jews? JoeIBaBigot just can’t resist getting in a lie about Jews on every topic.

What’s so hateful aabout setting limits to what American taxpayers have to buy for welfare recipients?

I want them to WORK and become responsible citizens, contributing to the system. You want dependent leeches for votes.

Equal treatment. That's already been covered many times. How many more times does it need pointed out?

Oooooommmmmm.

It seems you guys love punishing the poor for being poor.

Why not put a big loudspeaker above each cash register when someone uses and EBT Card that calls out, "POOR PEOPLE, EVERYONE, POOR PEOPLE!!!"

If they’ve got money to go buy weed, they can afford their own candy.

The American poor are the richest poor people on the planet.

 

[Lisa558]

Equal treatment. That's already been covered many times. How many more times does it need pointed out?

Equal treatment when some people EARN the money for the candy they want and other people are forced to BUY it for others?

So should people in rent-subsidized apartments get the same nice granite and stainless steel appliances as self-supporting people who can pay the full amount themselves?

You’re saying that welfare recipients and tax-paying citizens are entitled to the same things?

Oooooommmmmm.

Ahhhhhhhh.

 

[Lisa558]

If they’ve got money to go buy weed, they can afford their own candy.

The American poor are the richest poor people on the planet.

And cigarettes….and hang out in bars….etc., etc.

They can bypass one drink and pay for four candy bars.

Steak at Whole Foods?
You forgot to bring up the Caviar and Lobster that poor people buy at Whole Foods

We all know that poor people eat better than we do

Lisa lives in mortal fear that poor people might be enjoying life while she isn't.

Oh, yeah, and 20 Catholic Boys stopped by her house once and blew out her candle.

Until you get it…


Based on analysis of government benefit data, low-income families can receive a combination of cash, tax credits, and in-kind benefits (such as food assistance or housing) that brings their total resources to a high level, sometimes totaling nearly $80,000 in disposable income and benefits, particularly for a family of four.
American Enterprise Institute - AEI +2
Here are the key details regarding this finding:

• Total Benefits and Income: A low-wage family (2 adults, 3 children) with $20,000 in market income can take home approximately $79,000 in disposable income when accounting for about $60,000 in government benefits (including tax credits like the EITC and refundable Child Tax Credit, SNAP, and housing assistance).
• Increasing Dependency: The share of income for the poorest households coming from government transfers rather than work has increased significantly. In 2022, 72 cents of every dollar in low-income households came from welfare benefits, up from 32 cents in 1979.
• Comparison to Working Income: Some analyses indicate that under current law, low-wage working families can receive more in total benefits than non-working families due to tax credits that require earnings.
• COVID-19 Impact: During the pandemic,
• government assistance was even higher, lifting 53 million people above the poverty line in 2020.

Who exactly earned the trillions the government pumps into the markets?

The point was, the Arabs didn't slaughter their way, they were mostly welcomed by people who were tired of Byzantine Rule.

"We cheated those Arabs fair and square, we don't know why they are mad at us."

Jesus, hyperbole much?

We should ALL be mad that these leeches bring in more income than many working 70 plus hours in this country.

Dependency.......like Trump constantly crying for lower interest rates that prime inflation that put the poor further and further behind.

It wasn’t the so called poor…

It was the taxpayer. The poor are net recipients of refund in taxes.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Lefties, I am telling you, this is the perfect opportunity for a charity.

Start a charity to get IDs for people who want to vote but cannot get an ID AND ALSO TO PAY FOR SODA AND CANDY FOR WELFARE RECIPIENTS,

It is a HOME RUN cause.

DO IT! THERE IS A NEED!

Lot of Jews on welfare
Why don’t you complain about them?

Oh Gheeze…You don’t know the difference between freeing up capital that creates jobs, and a leech picking our pockets so they don’t have to work?
