☆☆☆☆☆☆Are You on Food Stamps?☆☆☆☆☆☆

[Lance_Castro]

Nope, but there is nothing bad to those who are!

The thread’s not a trap, it’s a reminder.

13% of americans need food stamps … that means 13% of americans here (+/-) are on food stamps.

How will they eat when the cuts happen?

Do the Americans here care?

 

[Rightguide]

Let’s recap …

RightGuide: The MAGA Account doesn't redistribute wealth by force.

Me: It redistributes taxpayer wealth to kids. The taxpayers aren’t voluntarily giving their money to other people’s kids.

RightGuide: Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiden!!!!!

The question remains, how many?

How many diapers did you wear out when Joe Biden was giving tens of thousands to illegal foreigners and terrorists?

probably not enough to get you off, vettescatman

It's distribution and that's socialism which the right hates so much.

 

[ll74]

Giving people more hoops to jump through while simultaneously reducing staff who handle that process will only result in people in need getting fucked.

No. it isn't. It's fiscal policy. Government expenditures funded by taxes levied through the consent of the governed, via their duly elected representatives, do not constitute socialism. Rather, they are the natural function of a representative republic in which citizens empower their government to manage shared responsibilities such as infrastructure, national defense, and public safety. Socialism, by contrast, involves the collective or state ownership and control of the means of production and wealth distribution. Simply using taxpayer funds for agreed-upon public purposes is not socialism; it is democracy in action.

A MAGA account for a child, designed to invest directly in their future through higher education, training, or entrepreneurship, is a far more accountable and constructive use of public resources than funneling billions into opaque NGOs abroad promoting divisive ideologies like Marxist theory or radical gender agendas. Unlike these unvetted initiatives, a domestic investment in young citizens empowers families, strengthens the nation’s workforce, and ensures that taxpayer dollars build opportunity at home rather than subsidizing cultural engineering overseas in places where it isn't wanted.

You guys call Social Security socialism

Don’t try to deflect attention away from your dumb statement.

I rarely see someone ahead of me in line at the grocery store using WIC or food stamps, but I don't much shop at Walmart or ghetto Kroger.

Which, of course, is the whole point.

Jesus. Tell me you are 94 years old without telling me you are 94.

SNAP is a debit card today. You wouldn't know there was a SNAP recipient in front of you.

Not to mention SNAP participation rates are higher in rural areas than urban. So if anything, avoiding "ghetto Kroger" means you're more likely to see SNAP participants.

You seem to know a surprisingly large amount about mooch stamps.

Such compassion. You must be a MAGAtard.

What has your compassion ever done for anyone?

I've sponsored kids in Bangladesh through Save the Children for 25 years. It helps to be sure they have enough to eat so they can just be kids.

So that.

That's not compassion, that's taking action.

 

[Craighalbert]

I'm not on food stamps and never have been, but I have been on welfare programs before, in that I've attended public schools, sent cheap mail through a federally run postal service, used publicly maintained roads, and been to the doctor / hospital in our publicly run healthcare system, and so in exchange I'm happy to pay taxes to fund other welfare programs I haven't needed, like unemployment insurance or family benefits or anti-poverty programs.

 

[ll74]

Taking action because of......... (You almost got it)
You seem to have an issue with understanding cause and effect.

People take action because they understand things and want to react to what they understand.

Science and education allows people to understand things.

Not worth responding to.

So you felt an emotion, likely based on experience and education, and took action in response to that.

Neat

Ok. Someone "sponsors a child" for a tax deduction. One because of "compassion". Who wins?

 

[HumpDayHoratio]

Most food stamp recipients are like ElleElle74, Roryn, Deluks and Coati..

“Non-Hispanic White people accounted for 44.6% of adult SNAP recipients and 31.5% of child recipients in 2020.

About 27% of both adult and child recipients were Black.

Hispanic people, who can be of any race, accounted for 21.9% of adult recipients and 35.8% of child recipients.

The vast majority of both adult and child recipients were born in the United States – 82.3% and 97.1%, respectively.

Among adult recipients, 62.4% had a high school diploma or less education in 2020.

And despite the program’s work requirements, 61.6% said they had not been employed at all that year.”

Herein lies the problem…

What does that even mean?

Why are you discussing who "won"?
