Anonymous Coward User ID: 1213011 United States 07/30/2011 09:12 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to work at a gas station when I just moved back to the east coast from California. I lived in a lower/middle class neighborhood. Nearly EVERY customer who came in to buy junk food (honey buns, doritos, donuts, etc) would drop a &20 or a $50 and in one case I remember a &100 dollar bill, and purchase Lottery tickets, cigarettes & cases of beer. Quoting: ApotheosisI began wondering...why the hell are these people using my tax money to buy unhealthy junk food and using their cash to buy what I would consider privileges? People would come in and complain about the price of gas and health insurance. If you didn't spend your money on cigarettes, lottery, scratch tickets and alcohol you'd HAVE money for gas and health insurance. I worked out the numbers. The average cost of a pack of cigarettes across america right now is $5.65 if you smoke a pack a day that's $150.00 a month you spend on something that can kill you. The case of bud light at the store I worked at was about $14.00 for a 12 pack. If you buy even two a week thats around another $100.00 a month. Lottery and megabucks is unpredictable, but if your gambling with your cash you have a serious problem anyway. anyway my point, is that it's not that prices are high or that the rich are greedy, it's that the poor are more often than not STUPID with their money. With $300-$400 a months you'd save by not drinking, smoking & gambling you would have plenty of money for a gym membership, the best health insurance money can buy and still have some left over to put towards other bills. I'm sick of this. I see people doing this shit everyday and pisses me off! It's not a matter of the rich keeping poor people down, it's the poor needing to sacrifice their addictions & cravings of luxury consumption. You can't afford it don't buy it. Not to mention if you didn't drink and smoke so dam much you wouldn't have to complain about the cost of health care because you'd be a whole lot healthier. Not to mention if you're going to buy food with my taxes can you at least buy healthy food? Salads, fruits, vegetables etc? Instead of potato chips and donuts? My two cents. Lmao The best healthcare money can buy for 300 a month? keep dreaming,also you working at a gas station i doubt you pay any taxes and if you do it gets refunded so i dont know how much right you have to bitch about what your "tax dollar" is paying for |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1434536THERE IS NO QUESTION ABOUT IT, the intended purpose has been subverted. Once something no longer is used as intended it should be withdrawn. That's how life works, and that is how govt deals with those it expects much from. THE process of life is to support oneself by following a proper path, not play and leech off someone else wh0 may have their own desires, but is frustrated in that. You lot complaining that some have too much muney should stop and take notice that it is mostly THESE people who sell the trash and drugs and needless and defective and dangerous products to the public in the first place, it's always the drugs dealers that have the most money as they prey upon addictions that afflict the stupid. Stop buying their garbage and trendoid consumerist rubbish and they will have less and you will have more. It;s that simple. Consumers always run out of money and producers will always accumulate funds, unless of course they are out of favour with the govt and have their accounts lightened for the good of the looters |

OMFG FOOD, even veggies OMFG. Some would even buy food for children. Really though, an overnight cancellation of the foodstamps program would be hilarious, the instantaneous collapse of grocers across the country and the trucks that haul the food would be awesome. Yeah that's how many people have foodstamps. On topic though, small gas stations should not be able to support use of the ebt cards, should just be grocers. Alot less likely to have clerks that trade other goods for food ebt at a large grocer. |

You can buy catastrophic coverage for that money, obviously with manhy limitations. Regular insurance isnt really insurance it's prepaid for expected future service, that's the expense of it in real life. Insurance is for the unexpected rand event, prepaid is for the expected, routine or voluntary events, there's a big difference, and it's not just semantics is functional. CAR insurance is insurance, because you man never need to use it. EVERYONE will use health insurance eventually it;s guaranteed, and as such it isnt a question that most EVERYONE will use more services than paid for eventually. Everyone cannot put in a dime and expect to take out a dollar. THAT would be a ponzi scheme. |
