[ link to www.wwlp.com] I have to say, im all for food stamps for those who need it, but if you are buying whoopie pies, do you really need them? I just baked my husband a cake for his birthday. cost $3 for the mix at shaws. These cakes cost $5. I see people in the store buying $20 icecream cakes with ebt. I am an attorney working 80 hours a week and i cant afford those fuckin cakes. WTF You begrudge poor people ice cream? Come on. You think you are poor because you are paying off loans but I doubt you shop at Goodwill for your dishes and clothes. Let the poor people have the few luxuries they can afford. Their children need the butter fat and calories. Don't be such a scrooge. I grew up affluent middle class WASP. We baked our own cakes and grew our own berries and flowers and tomatoes. I don't begrudge welfare recipients the purchase of these little luxuries. let tax dollars buy them berries and tomatoes--"So expensive!"--is what my mother would cluck in the store. We couldn't afford such delicacies at those prices. We had to save our pennies for organic fertilizer. Let poor children have berries and tomatos at any price, you cheapskate. Let them have fancy cakes too. hate to tell you but i am the oldest of 6 and we shopped at goodwill. Got some real nice clothes there. also, wokred since i was 10, because that was the only way i got the extra shit my friends got. there were times when i slept on a mattress on the floor. My husband had it even worse. they would go weeks without electricity or hot water. i am the first in my family to go to college. so yes, i do know what it is to struggle. just was also taught you need to work to get what you need. I really don support welfare for those in need. but since i moved to the city 6 years ago, have really seen how it is a way of life. until then i would never have thought i would have thought this way. but i have neighbors who's family's have beeen on welfare for multiple generations. their goal is to have kids so tey can collect their own check. i am not a bigot and dont pretend that i am better than anyone else. just after working 80 hours this week and still cant afford a lobster, kinda pisses me off.
