you people make me fucking sick foodstamps are the only way i can eat and feed my family (fiance) in which i help my family(parents) when in need. i mean really .. yes some people take advantage of the system but others like myself actually need this "freebie" as a few of you call it but let me asure you it most definitely is not free like it used to be years ago. i lost everything back in december of 2012 and barely got to keep my life (boat sunk with us on it in middle of the night). wonder how yall would feel if you had to spend a month in my shoes and yes i do work a commission based job because the economy cant afford any more jobs much less money so that people like myself can make a living as an lmt (massage therapist) even if i managed to put myself through massage training
