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

[Nostra]

$100 plus oil sure isn't helping.

Link us up to poverty going up because of $100 oil.

Betcha can't.

I watched the video. Seems many are bothered.

Glad you agree with no soda and candy for those on welfare.

Good for you.

Well, people love to ***** about anything and everything to anyone who’ll listen. That’s just human nature

Plus, by definition, whoever made the video did so with specific intentions, so not exactly a representative sample of the general population.

Again, I’m far more curious why there’s so many threads on this subject. It’s literally like one of the most talked about things on these boards

Poor people should not have free speech.

Poor people should not expect that other people buy them candy and soda.

 

[Nostra]

I think the whole thing is petty and micromanaging.
Treat people like adults and let them buy their own food

If we treated them lie adults we would expect them to pay for their own food, Simp.

 

[braalian]

And what do you figure your personal out-of-pocket expense is for providing the losers with candy and soda?

Pennies

Which is the main reason I don’t really care

I worked in a deli when I was in high school and you could not use food stamps for candy or soft drinks. Has that changed?

You can exchange them for cash

 

[ColonelAngus]

I feel bad for those without ID who cannot obtain welfare.

There should be no ID required for welfare.

 

[Lisa558]

If we treated them lie adults we would expect them to pay for their own food, Simp.

If they were adults who made responsible decisions, they could afford to buy their own soda and candy. Or their own food, for that matter.

There should be no ID required for welfare.

What about those without driver’s licenses who aren’t allowed to drive? I feel bad for them.

I remember when you liars were saying $10/gal gas was an indication of a strong economy.

No you don't. You just have to lash out as that is how you've been trained.

Why is expensive energy good under Democrats but bad under Republicans?

Because you leftist are full of rubbish.

It's bad, period.

 

[braalian]

You can exchange them for cash

That’s always been the case. Not really any way to prevent it

Don't see a rising poverty rate.

 

[Independent thinker]

If one wants to purchase NON NECESSARY ITEMS, PAY FOR THEM YOURSELF.

Welfare should be for staple food products. Milk, bread, meat, vegetables, etc.

Not Kit Kat bars and Dr Pepper.

I love the new restrictions.

It goes into the whole lefty mentality in thinking that if the one percenters can buy candy and Dr. Pepper then the poor living off of taxpayers should be allowed to purchase them also. Otherwise, it is social injustice.

Spirit airlines investors get $500 million. Why should that be different? Employee's have a job because taxpayers forking over $500 million. Why should that be different?

 

[rightwinger]

He pays for his. They can do the same, stupid.

Nobody said they can't by candy and soda, liar.

So Trump declares soda is bad for poor people but not for himself

 

[buckeye]

that providing nutrition to poor kids.

There is zero nutrition in Dr. Pepper or Kit Kat bars.

Why don't you know that?

 

[mudwhistle]

No you don't. You just have to lash out as that is how you've been trained.

You ignored high gas prices for 3 years and then come out screaming when gas prices go up a tick for a couple of months.

STFU.

 

[rightwinger]

The same Republicans who scream that poor people can’t have candy and soda were the same ones who screamed at Michelle Obama for saying schools should not serve candy and soda
