EBT dollars at work

[EightFingers]

@punalvr: I'm certainly no grouch, but seeing this is going a long way to make me one!
@Lee M-S: my thoughts too
@shockwave rider: The people with three or four jobs are paying some tax too. Is it fair for them to have to pay into a system that can allow someone to purchase lobster or fancy mocha drinks? Ask them. Let us know here what you find out. Bet they'll agree with me.
@unclemel: I'm doing just that. Posting here is part of that.
@alaskyn66: point noted, but isn't logically part of this discussion.
@punatic007: time to rip that nasty bandaid off and clean out that festering wound!

Some people here are also making assumptions, none of you even saw this guy. He had a nice car and was very well dressed. He was wearing nice leather shoes, khaki pants nice shirt and was even wearing an ascot. You could tell he was well educated by the way he spoke. He was very clean cut.

Well in that case, you can't expect him to drink tap water, can you?

I much prefer to help low income families on welfare than rich fu*ks on welfare like the Waltons.

I got some to go food at a local restaurant and they put it in a recycled bag from their trip to the store. They forgot to remove the receipt and everything was paid for with EBT. It was all fresh produce etc for the restaurant. Is EBT food supposed to be resold?

None of your ****ing business. Pay your taxes and shut the hell up. Allow people to live. No one is taking **** from you. Live your life and when it's your turn for some form of welfare don't take it.

Correct: having paid taxes, that money is no longer "yours", and you have no say in how it's spent.
