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

[Nostra]

Not really. Iran having Nukes isn't our problem.

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

Hey stupid, their missiles can already reach Europe.

You are clueless, as usual.

 

[Nostra]

Great idea. Let's put restrictions on what you can buy with your social security check.

SS isn’t welfare, you blithering moron.

Keep stepping on those rakes.

 

[Nostra]

Alcohol and tobacco are not food

If you want to ban soda, why not ban all sweetened drinks?
Why not ban sugary cereals?
Why allow cake and cookies while you ban cupcakes?

Treat people like adults and let them decide how to spend their monthly food budget.

Ok.

 

[Nostra]

That mother has three kids and works at jobs that need done but sadly pay very little.

So? How is that my problem?

 

[rightwinger]

They can buy gallons of soda. Just not on their EBT card

And Corporate Executives can fly Economy Class if they want to deduct it on their taxes

Yet we don’t mind if they buy a Corporate Jet to travel

 

[Churchill]

I agree in principle that food stamp recipients should not be allowed to buy random junk food with it.

I also don’t really think it’s that big of a deal one way or the other.

It’s certainly not worthy of the multiple threads on the subject

You guys really hyper-fixate on minor trigger-issues sometimes

Thank you, it's rather depressing to see the usual few (may with Charlie Kirk avatars) doing nothing more than complain complain and complain about (what they call) the "left".

 

[Nostra]

Ahhh... except you really didn't.

Half the money that was put in SS on your behalf was paid by your employer, not you.

The point is, you aren't producing anything now. That welfare mom is probably going to end up in the workforce (as most people are only on welfare for a few years) and her kids certainly will be.

So it seems like if we are going to get rid of "useless eaters", us old folks would be on the top of the list.

Employer half is part if the overall compensation package for EMPLOYMENT.

Holy smokes you are stupid.

And what is the connection between corporate tax deductions and EBT cards?

 

[Mac-7]

Treat people like adults and let them decide how to spend their monthly food budget.

Its not their money

I.e the people on food stamps

Its the hard earned dollars of taxpayers

 

[Nostra]

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




Oooooommmmmm.

Explain how it is “equal treatment: to forcibly take what one person EARNS and give it to another person who did nothing to earn it besides being a deadbeat.

This will be a hoot.

I expect this clown will have no response.

 

[Mac-7]

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.

Actually those women usually draw over $5,000 each year through the unearned EITC scam

 

[Nostra]

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

The working folks the government forcibly took from, stupid. Ever heard of taxes?

They also print a shit-ton over and above that.

 

[rightwinger]

And what is the connection between corporate tax deductions and EBT cards?

Glad you ask

Because we allow corporations to deduct private jets, luxury automobiles, meals at five star restaurants as a business expense

We don’t supervise their business expenses and make them fly economy, drive an American midsized car or pay for their own meals.

But we will deny a poor person a liter of soda

 

[Nostra]

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

English, do you speak it?

 

[rightwinger]

Its not their money

I.e the people on food stamps

Its the hard earned dollars of taxpayers

It is their stomach
Let them decide what they put in it

 

[Nostra]

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!

That takes effort over and above whining and crying like little punks, so no way it happens.

 

[Nostra]

Trollwinger thinks if the government leaves some profit behind for a corporation it’s still owned by the government.

For your lunatic scenario to be true the government would have to own all money.

They don’t, Trollwinger.

Leaches can still buy soda, liar.

They can put anything they want in their stomach, dumbass.

Next?
