I am both shocked and outraged that you would use the internet for jokes and hyperbole, sir.

Okay go live somewhere else where they have your children mine the lithium for electric cars and phone batteries, and you can put an iPhone together in a factory for 70 cents an hour.
Alternatively nobody is stopping you from going out to somewhere like Wyoming and buying a cheap acre of land and raising your own chickens and cows and farming your own crops.

Why not? The goal of human civilization should be a world where people work as little as possible for the highest quality of life possible. I could not care less if some people on food stamps want to be happy sitting around eating treats if the vast majority of people on benefits are using that to ensure they can work jobs I don't want to work without starving, or feeding their kids so they have the ability to focus on school for a full day.

You say stupid, uninformed shit and that is why you have a negative reaction rating. The things you say are dumb, unfeasible and ignorant.
The REASON we are the greatest country in the world is because people slave so hard making it that way.
You could care less about people on food stamps stuffing their face with junk food because you probably live with your parents stuffing your face with junk food that they buy with their money.

Well ideally if you were to add another hundred million people to benefits programs you would also shift the tax burden towards the wealthiest people

You're totally wrong. The wealthy do not pay any taxes, even when they pay taxes.

The real economy consists solely of real products and services. The food grown by the farmer, the products manufactured by factory workers, the maintenance work done by plumbers and other tradespeople. Taxes exist so that the government can take some of that labor and product for free, to allocate it to other people, e.g. to give some of those foods and services to a teacher or a policeman, so you can have a teacher or policeman in your society, because those people now don't have to spend their time growing their own food.

Conversely, someone who does no work for their income actually cannot pay any taxes. If all those "hundred million people" who are employed, just went unemployed and onto welfare, it wouldn't suffice to tax the wealthy all their fortunes combined to feed even a single person. Their taxes are a mere spreadsheet illusion.

Unfortunately pork belly can be difficult to find since it almost all gets diverted to making bacon. I have an Amish butcher nearby who sometimes sells it. When I make pork belly, I make red cooked style, the recipe Chairman Mao's personal chef made.

how can americans survive without pork belly? You also dont have good cured and smoked stuff like Kassler...

I just think that with all the fraud, waste, and disincentivizing the successful from doing things via being coerced into paying just to be normal, the EBT system is more bad than good.

Is there any data anywhere supporting this? Feels like it's just been a republican talking point for a decade and now everyone believes it through repetition alone.

How about putting that money into large public works projects, and actually employing and training these people? We don't have to live like this.

That'd be good too. Almost anything in America would be better than AI corpo subsidies, trump lawsuits and Argentina

It has happened to me, I took a look at my situation and reversed it. It's called "Changing your lot in life" and you can't do that by remaining a fucking BUM.
Because that's literally what you are when you use welfare programs. You are sticking your hand out like a fucking bum and asking for people who work hard to pay your way. To pay your share because you are a buuuuuum.
The literal Oxford dictionary definition of a bum is a homeless person who lives by asking for money or food. Most of these people have homes probably through section 8, but they are still literally living by asking for money and food. BUMS.
There is a difference between using a welfare program for an extremely limited time as a stopgap because maybe you fell into some bad luck, and being a bum.
I'm against bums, sir. Not hard working people who will work hard and feel ashamed to take help temporarily because you should feel shame if you need to rely on handouts.
The problem is too many people are living their entire lives on welfare and they feel no shame.
 
I thought of another poor group of Americans (and illegals) who will be affected by this CRUEL and HEARTLESS decision by mean old Donald Trump to cut off food stamps.

Drug addicts.

Druggies on EBT sling that card at their dealer the first chance they get. I've known people who have done that shit every single month and then beg for money for more. The first is always a big drug day and now... no fix.

Have a heart will you?

As opposed to the Republican dream of working in a coal mine for 12 hours a day, where the soldiers only come out if palantir decides you've made a woke tweet and need to be sent to alligator Alcatraz.

This is literally what Trump wants. Bring back all the manufacturing from China so Americans have to do those in service of better countries.

One way or another they are going to sell those food stamps two for one, and I have no problem being the guy who gets it.
Druggy selling their EBT two for one is a trick as old as food stamps have probably been around lmao. I say people should oblige them. If they don't want to eat they can go fuck themselves. Give them the cash for their heroin or their meth or whatever and you get yourself a nice fat 50% off your grocery bill.

"Omg Trump wants us to do the jobs that we farm out as slave labor to other countries!!!" You fucking absolute twat, you are admitting to the fact that you have no problem relying on other countries doing literal slave labor for us so long as you're comfortable and can get that iPhone 18 as soon as it comes out. Typical lefty, as long as you're comfortable fuck everyone else, right?
Again, you say stupid, uninformed, thoughtless, ignorant shit probably because you live with mommy and daddy and haven't worked a day in your god damn life.

Borderline slave labor manufacturing was a step up from farming. Next step is to get the robots to build the iphones while Chinese people start doing boring, safe, easy office jobs, while Americans move on to better, easier, more fulfilling careers. That's the obvious progression, not to bring the fucking dogshit slave labor jobs to America and switch the dynamic around to the detriment of American people. Why is your aspiration slavery? The servile migger mind virus is going to be the death of America because you faggots can't even dream of a world better in any way than 60 years ago.

So again, you reinforce the point that you are all for slave labor as long as it's being done by other countries and you are comfortable. Again, you are a tremendous twat sir.

I fully support the right of the Chinese to demand better conditions so they can move up the ladder too. Why do you support slavery for Americans instead of a better life, faggot?

Very cute thing to accuse me of when you've posted on here over a thousand times in 2 months. Looks like an awful lot of wasted free time.
