| Anonymous Coward User ID: 20260218 United States11/25/2012 11:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Buyers do not have to buy big agribusiness food with the money though. They can - right now - pretty much choose their own food. You left out a big part of the puzzle though. In my small city, layoffs hit very hard. VERY. We had 8 or 9 grocery stores. Now we have 2. If there'd been no food stamps, we'd probably ONLY have Walmart left to buy groceries from. When those grocery stores shut down, those workers lost jobs. People lost choice - whether they were on food stamps or not. Without food stamps, people may have had to drive out of town to buy groceries. Some do anyway- since we're at the state line, some might have bought groceries out of state. Lost of local revenue. Food stamps benefit our entire population, whether people want to see it or not. |

Yes but its all about big brands, Some major brands manufacture 100 different products,and even white label these products. Just think about that for a second... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28366774 Why does the government hand out trillions in food stamps like its going out of style. Is it truly for the welfare of the people like it is supposed to be? or something more sinister? Lets take a look. 1.) Government Extracts wealth from the people , via taxes, fees, fines, etc etc. 3.) Government Turns around and Hands out Trillions in Food Stamps. 4.) People go to grocery store, and spend trillions on food. 5.) Government/Owned/Affiliated Farms, Food Companies get RICH. ------------------------------------------------------------- So basically the government extracts wealth from the people, so that it can line the pockets of Corporations, under the disguise of "doing a good deed". The Government/Owned/Affiliated Food corps get rich, while at the SAME time , keep people dependent on the Government, and while at the SAME time these very same corporations poison us SLOWLY with substances like sugar substitutes, etc etc... ever hear of GEICO etc...insurance, food, industry(unions) etc etc ..gov't control of everything..not good..that means prez is a dictator |
