[QUOTE="keista, post: 458727, member: 11965"] OMW, WTH? and REALLY?????????????????????? First, let me say that I believe in the food stamp program! I've used the program myself when it was necessary. HOWEVER, it really steams me when I see it abused! When I'm at 7-11 INDULGING (spending money on a well deserved treat) It really kills me when the person in front of me is buying $20 worth of junk food and paying for it with food stamps! Makes it worse when it's after 11pm and it's parents buying their toddlers slushies and chips.:rollingpin: So apparently the system isn't being abused enough, our tax dollars will now allow ppl to spend 5X the amount of money on a meal as it would cost to cook at home, and the meal will be 10x more unhealthy. UHG :groooansmileyf: Now, for the [B]REAL[/B] irony in all of this. These giant food chains (both convenience stores and restaurants) spend millions lobbying for the privilege to accept food stamps. They also spend millions [B]avoiding paying taxes INTO[/B] the system that they are trying to tap into to generate more revenue. :twister2: Is it just me or are we going to H.E.doublehockeysticks in a hand basket FAST? :soapbox: [/QUOTE]
