I'm tired of people putting down people on food stamps

So Civil Rights is something that only the wealthy should have? I see. You have no idea how much has been taken from me, by the so-called elite.

Don't think anyone on this forum has been any lower in poverty than I, but the bright side is I chose not to stay in poverty. The choices have been made, results are evident.

listen blame the government not people play their stupid game they made up. Its like dangeling alcohol in front of an alcoholic he will drink it. Blame the goverment they made it this way. thats like if a theif stole your money are you going to prosecute the theifs brother. You get what I am saying? Blame the right people.

What third world country are you from, btw? And how long has your family been residing in the USA?

You're tired of hearing hitching about people on food stamps...
I'm tired of buying your lunch.

Some of us CHOOSE not to prostitute ourselves.

You deserve to be hanged from a tree by your testicles.

Actually, I grew up with nothing. I remember many of times, walking into the kitchen and only finding a box of crackers. Parents having to roll of change from my piggy bank to get some milk. Even while my dad worked full time and sometimes double shift. We had beat up cars, didn't have any new clothes. I know what it's like not to have any money or food or new clothes. We also never went begging for handouts. So it's not just rich people that have a problem with it. Now say what again?

Yes, don't except any responsibly, blame is easier.

The government buys your lunch too; just without the shame and stigma of having to use "foodstamps".

i see your point...but you still lose....just how do you feed your child? husband? good job? how do you pay your rent? are you a stripper? my kids need stuff every time i turn around, clothes, money for school supplies, money for food, money. i need money for rent, utilities,,,,how do you,o wise woman, make a living for your child? 250 for books is just the tip of the iceberg. from the tone of your post, i think youre a smart ass , snively,little housewife who has a husband that works and supports you....and yes i would pay the money for your kids books if i could afford it...and just how are you paying for your kids books? o let me guess, you are a high powered lawyer who pays her own way for everything...well, good for you...i wish i had a wonderful high paying job too as do millions of other people in the united states...so shut up...you dont need to be here

We've all had crap taking from us! But not everyone is crying over it.

You should be tired of buying the government and the bankers their suites, and $40,000 plate dinners. What kind of a heart do you have? How can you compare a little amount of money which people on welfare recieve compared to the amount of money that the government and its bankers steal from the people?


Stick up for your fellow human being.

Then you will remain a drain on society, by being to lazy to earn your own way.

My parents were also poor (through no fault of their own, trust me), and they never got a dime from 'welfare', ever (not even foodstamps); but they would never be so cold as to deny help to, or resent others in need.

Better than being a whore or pimp.

when ancient rome completed the move of critical grain cultivation offshore to libya and other places- the homeland was cultivated for wine and oil- by slaves. the economic system was called latifundia- look it up!

the proletariat was used as a pool of labor for the military to protect the offshore colonial interests.

a dole of wheat, salt, wine, and oil was paid to the large jobless population. ( bread and circuses)

many preferred not to work at menial jobs.

a large immigration from outside tribes commenced for the work and trading opportunities, diluting the culture. this was later known as the barbarian invasion.

and that ended their civilisation ultimately.

Trust me, we don't deny help to anyone. They have a church now and they have a food and clothes closet. Just got a new load today to send out to people in need. We have people coming in to get clothes and food all the time. I dont have one problem with helping someone out. I dont like what I work for just taken from me to be given to someone who doesn't want to try and help themselves.

i have a 14 year old son who has been talking about working in the summer too..so there....just like you said, its tough for a lot of people...i work too...

if some of you had to do a hard days work or any manual labor it would fucking kill your sorry asses

how about trading places with a poor person for a few days

contact me and i'll set it up between you and some of the poor people around here
and then come back here and tell us all about it
come on you want to bitch about it give it a fucking try

COME ON DOWN!!!

Except most of the uneducated leeches don't pay taxes, or contribute to society in any way whatsoever. Have you ever lived in a shitty area? I grew up in one. 90% of the people are complete wastes of life. They literally throw garbage onto their yard, and pride themselves on being poor and trashy. Makes me sick thinking about it.

I have relatives like that. My older cousin(older by like 15 years), has three kids with three different dads. Never worked a day in her life, and pretends that she is unable to work even though she is perfectly fine besides being a little overweight. Lives with her her parents(my aunt and uncle), and collects welfare and food stamps. Pathetic. She is nice and everything, but it's always in the back of my mind when I'm talking with her.

our ancestors helped each other out...which is what society as a whole should be doing...i understand you are angry because you sound like a woman who either supports her kids with her income or has a husband who works and supports you and your children and Lord have mercy, you certainly dont need food stamps and wouldnt shame and humiliate yourself with them, but people shouldnt berate other people just because they may really need help...by the way., how well do you guys eat? just wondering....

Ummm No! I have something called a JOB. I get paid money for something I do called work. I earn it, nobody gives it to me. In fact I Ben pay taxes which fund the government, so any.services I may receive are paid by me.

Another one who has no idea where thier taxes go.

OP you right, we should help people out. I dont have one problem helping someone in need. I have a problem when I have what I work for forcefully taken from me and given to who knows who. You need to remember that the more that is taken from me, the less for my family.

Two months ago, we had some money saved up. I had just lost my job and my wives uncle had lost his. They were in more of a need than we were. So we took a good bit of the money and gave it to him and his wife. Again, we should help people out, but not by it being taken from me.

so you think that people on foodstamps EXPECT people to buy their food? youre a straight up asshole...you have not been paying attention to this thread...this thread is about people who DONT want to be on food stamps but are because of unforseen circumstances out of their control.

Lol. I did manual labor from 18-24 and I wasn't on fucking food stamps. Got paid only 15 bucks an hour for two years. Was a fair wage for the brainless work that I did. If you want more money you'll have to actually show some initiative, instead of crying for the government to feed your fat ass. I paid my way through school with the little amount of money I was saving because I knew that I needed to work towards a better standard of living. It's called not being lazy and having some ambition.

i would like to mash your face into a brick wall...this thread is talking about people like you..people that automatically assume people on foodstamps are losers...YOU SUCK
