Most of them aren't really taxpayers though, they work the most bullshit minimum wage minimum hours job they can to meet the minimum standards for more gibs, with how much gibs they get and how little income tax they actually pay on their low wages (plus things like earned income credit lowering their tax burden even more) these people get far more money from the government than they give. The only way the government can hope to recoup any losses is through sales tax and shit like the lottery.
I disagree with this premise. I support welfare for the working poor. Having a job motivates people to stay out of trouble. It reduces violence and crime overall, and that money goes back into the local economy.

One change I would like to see is the requirement that you have less than $1000 in savings. It punishes people from practicing responsible habits. If you're able to work and get welfare and save $100 per month, you would be ineligible for welfare the next year and would burn it all up and be unable to support yourself. It promotes permanent helplessness.
 
Apparently, a fatwa has been issued to MAGA shill accounts on behalf of BIG SODA to post in favor of keeping soda in food stamps—for seemingly no reason. Some pretty big accounts are involved (and also Ian Miles Cheong, too), and allegedly, they're paying up to $1,000 per shill

If you niggers here aren't stupid you'll see this is roundabout corporate welfare.

Fuck's sake the motive here isn't difficult to understand. What is difficult to understand is how people can see this and not immediately start thinking for themselves about multiple different means of distributing tax money into the pockets of heeb corporate executives.
And if you ban the diet coke beans, they're going to be screaming.
We have guns in this country. Nobody gives a shit retard.
 
Yeah, but as a person who eats at actual legitimate chinese food places, in heavily chinese areas, for nothing but FOBs as customers, I'd go so far to say that the normal Chinese diet isn't something that Americans are gonna go for.

Unless Chicken feet, jellied duck's blood, and crispy jellyfish suddenly become comfort food for some crazy reason.
I'm well aware of the more gonzo stuff they eat, but surely there's a middle ground.

We had a Chinese exchange student when I was a kid and she would make pretty good stuff I'd never seen before for us from time to time. The first time we brought her to a "Chinese restaurant" she was in hysterics about the food lol. "We don't eat this!".

Also, we sent her back home like 20lbs heavier lol.
 
I'm not entirely sure if it's true or not, but I heard someone say that when it comes to grocery store layouts, the healthier foods are on the outer ring and corners of the store.

Fruit and vegetables, meats, dairy, breads and bakery items tend to be on the outer rims, while isles have things like processed cereals, kraft dinner, high-sodium condiments, soda and chips, and so on.
Your layout is pretty spot on IBS, Where I lived the veggies tended to be in the back and poor areas, and on the right side of the store in moneyed areas.
Well that's just because it's easier to put refrigerators and freezers against the wall. Not to mention you want your meats near the butcher and he needs his own out-of-sight space in the corner to do his job.

It speaks volumes that two presumably adult people couldn't infer that.

About our education system. And why the DOE being torn down is a good thing.
 
All this stuff about restricting food stamps and adding more barriers to getting them or what you can buy with them will INCREASE the costs of the program in question, not decrease them. The people arguing for such things forget that bureaucrats oversee these programs and the more complexity you add to something like SNAP, the more of those bureaucrats will be needed to oversee it.
What the fuck are you talking about? We already restrict food stamps. All they'll need to do is change a toggle from "SNAP eligible" to "not SNAP eligible."
 
Food deserts are a myth. I've been in gas stations so ghetto they have their own pimps and even those had a small section with fresh tomatoes, potatoes, onions, bananas ect.

Granted it ain't Whole Foods but to suggest you have no choice but to subsist solely on Steel Reserve and hot chip is bullshit.
 
The pop on EBT thing is just a scam in the sense that people will buy 2 liters and then "sell" them to Indian run gas stations for 50 cents on the dollar. Or just sell their EBT cards or whatever for the same. It's why Walmart puts pallets of 2 liters up front on dole day. Taking pop off EBT probably cut out billion in sales. I support doing it less because it'll force the lumpenproles to health, it won't, and more because it'll fuck over streetshitter scammers and that's a worthwhile goal.
This is also why the milk isle is always cleared out and every emergency liter you get at 7/11 expired three days before you bought it
Fuck Indians, I needed that for my roux you curry bastard

Yes, we do restrict SNAP, and that already pisses poor people off. Restricting SNAP even further will piss them off even more.

What bureaucracy? EBT is a gift card that only works on certain items and is automatically applied by the register. All it takes to restrict a new item is a new entry in a database.
 
YOURE DEALING WITH NIGGERS THEY CAN'T LEARN
You say this like I don't already know it. If you make access to benefits contingent on not being an unteachable nigger, you create a nigger filter. Separating the useful (or potentially useful) people from the niggers is non-negotiable if you want a prosperous nation. Once you know who the niggers are, you can funnel them into your preferred solution for minimizing the damage they're able to cause just by existing.

The main problem, as I see it, is handling the optics of separating niggers from their gibs. I feel like now is the right time to take that hit, with anti-MAGA being so scattered and generally bereft of political capital. America simply can't afford to keep coddling useless niggers forever.

We'll they're bureaucrats. Whoever's job it is to make that toggle is going to need to defer to 9 layers of authority before doing anything. Then when he necessarily fucks that simple task up he's going to need to file 8 pages of paperwork documenting it before filing a request to fix his mistake before starting the whole process all over.

Estimated expenses: $14,000,000,000.00
