This is fraud, These people can go to jail for doing this.

why the hell are these people using my tax money

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.

I 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'm not saying that it's poor peoples fault why they're poor. I've been poor for a very long time. I grew up homeless on the streets with a drug addicted mother my whole childhood. I'm saying that making a conscious effort to not spend your money frivilously on things that corporate america use to kill you will probably help you provide yourself with more important things you need.

anyway my point, is that it's not just that prices are too high or that the rich are greedy, it's that the I see a lot of the poor, more often than not doing STUPID things 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, a decent health insurance 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! They are abusing the system, and though there are tons of more important things going on in the world then this issue it is still something people should address. Welfare assistance should be better monitored.

It would also help if the poor could 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 you wouldn't have to complain about the cost of health care because you'd be a whole lot healthier. Also if you're going to buy food with tax money can you at least buy healthier food? Salads, fruits, vegetables etc? Instead of potato chips and donuts? It would better for you nutritionally and help things out.

My two cents.

DISCLAIMER:

This is NOT an attack on ALL people who use food stamps, just quite a few who do that take advantage of the system. It is neither fair for the tax payer or the impoverished needy who use the system that this stuff goes on. This is more of an attack on welfare because this should seriously be monitored much more closely. Hopefully the good people out there receiving assistance who read this now will stop attacking me. I advocate helping the poor, just sick an tired of helping those who abuse it. There is Nothing wrong with general assistance just a bit of advice for those who receive it. There are ways you can better help yourself and the country by not spending the money you do have on frivolous things. It would also help if they ate healthier with it. For them and the system because there would be less people needing medical care they cant afford.

why is this possible?

our food vouchers allow basic foodstuffs only.

if your stamps allow people to buy cigarettes, of course they

will.

What a bunch of fucking clueless, bleeding-heart pansy, titty-suckling, whiny reprobates in this thread!

Get rid of all forms of assistance NOW! Let these scum die!

Down on your luck? Get off your ass and make something happen! I'VE BEEN THERE! It was MY FAULT!

If this country wasn't full of dumbfucks like you, and like OP has described -- people who vote for and re-elect whoever will give them the most bennies, then the people at the top, 'the Illuminati', wouldn't get away with 95% of what they do!

He is not saying that, learn to read, he is saying that the people use the stamps for food, instead of their own cash.
And their own cash they use for Alcohol Tobacco and Gambling.
You can not buy Alcohol Tobacco or Lottery tickets with food stamps.

that is nothing op.Here in Indiana the illegals have it even better.See they do not need to show ID here(only applies to illegals).

This is there scam.There are groups of 20 or so illegals and they take a day to go around to various counties applying for food stamps(and get them). Each now has 5-10 cards.They go out and spend all there food stamp money on food.They then take all this food to THERE grocery store.As in one they opened in little Mexico(Indianapolis). They charge normal retail unless you are Mexican(1/2 off). They pocket the cash,and the next month repeat.

They get to own a VERY profitable grocery store with nearly 100 over head.At a minimum they are making 50% profit off of tax payer funded food stamps.

Yes I have called/emailed the state attorney generals office.No they do not care as there is nothing they can do unless the law is changed to require illegals to have id for food stamps(better yet how about we do not give illegals food stamps!!).

And may we ask what you do for a living,

I'm a blue-collar Joe. Work outside in the heat. Never make enough money. I'm worth about four figures.


and may we ask what you do to help your fellow man?

I teach them. Like I'm doing right now. Enlightenment makes for a better world for us all.

At some point I'm sure someone helped you, whether it was school or or some other way, let us ask you what "benny" you received and are now complaining about?

Yeah, I've received a little bit of help in the past, and I do mean "a little." Still, at the time, I probably didn't deserve it. You see, I was wasting my money then on stupid shit. I grew up

Karma is something to be reckoned with and at this point you appear to be willing to receive the full sanction of of karma's full wrath.

I don't believe in karma the mystical sort of way that you're using the concept. And I really don't deserve any wrath. Ive led a mostly virtuous life. I've been a net plus for planet Earth, all things considered.


Believe in karma or not, I know for fact through the ptb that it is real and you will pay the price. Unfortunately for you, that you won't even know it has happened until far later in future lives, but live and learn.

You lost me at "future lives."

During this life I've had certain experiences with the ptb that let me know karma and afterlife are real and there is much more at stake then your petty complaints.

K.

The old rule states "do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and blessings upon you for speaking your mind, unfortunately it will come back to haunt you.

When I was young and worked in a grocery store I saw this too. The people with food stamps bought the most beer and cigarettes.

I was always in a state of disbelief.

Exactly. These people are truly imbeciles - arguing a moot point. It's in the fucking title!

Anyone needing food stamps like I do has no extra for cigarettes or booze. The people being complained about in this thread are leaches and need to be addressed as such. A food stamp recipient needs to eat to feed their family. All others with actual money to buy food do not really need to be on food stamps.

This is the problem. among many other other things like the promise of 20$ per barrel oil for the Iraq war when in reality its 100$. Everyone is biting the bullet here except it's costing American taxpayers job after job.

We were promised cheap gas. In reality we received 100$ oil.
What can we do? Vote, that is what we can do.

So your employers broke the law and allowed them to do this?

In my experiences when I was young and worked at a grocery store, the people with food stamps paid for all the food first with food stamps. then they'd whip out a fat roll of bills to buy the beer and cigarettes.

They had shit loads of money, but made you and I pay for their food.

if you make other peoples business YOUR business, does that mean they can make your business THEIR business too?

i wonder, would you even have a choice in that?

karma is funny.

self righteous people hould be executed for the sake of society.

Sure.... the hollowpoints. They are very good. These motherfuckers are living off me. That makes it my business./ If they wanna get in mine. It's their ambulance ride. They won't make it though.Fuck the professional. manufactured 5th generation parasites.I feel for those who have ended up there due to the politicians and other suckers of asses.I may join them but the new victims are the result of the DC whores who created the 1st buch with their post=civil rights welfare syatem to control the backs they really hated but had to cater to to keep down the civil unrest and the citizens who wanted blacks treated rightly. Gee dem Demmycrats sho' had went and he'p blaque foke!@

Sorry, but you need to learn the English language, and then learn to type, and then maybe I will give a shit about what you say?

He made a decent point even if it was poorly executed. Garbled is better than stupid.

Save your vitriol for the pro-welfare trash.

why is this possible?

our food vouchers allow basic foodstuffs only.

if your stamps allow people to buy cigarettes, of course they

will.

People who refuse to learn the basics of communication have no sympathy from me.

You have shown you don't wish to participate in life, and you fucking know it. You know you skipped class and smoked weed when you should have been learning how to speak and write. You are here online, so my suggestion is take some classes online.

Corporate welfare and "aid" monies to Israel dwarf anything like the food stamp program.

Bread and Circuses people Never Forget That.
