You, and your myopic view of things, have an amazing ability to get things wrong - completely and utterly wrong. Asserting that EBT, previously "food stamps" is a corporate welfare program is the most-intellectually-skewed perspective possible. While companies do get some of the revenue, it is NOT welfare. It is, in fact, payment for goods provided at market prices. In other words, they give up product in exchange for $$$. The mind capable of equating that transaction with "welfare", is indeed disturbed.
Work is not only necessary in order to earns one's keep (independent wealth excepted), it is, in so many ways and levels, what brings self-worth/respect to our lives and makes us worthwhile people. Those who don't, waste away intellectually, spiritually and morally. BTW, the stigma is not resulting from "not working", but, rather, using the efforts of others to feed, clothe, house, etc., oneself. How one can get that as wrong as you did is stunning.
This, is NOT, however, to say that "employment" is necessary. Not at all. One can be non-parasitic in self-employment as an independent artisan, tradesman, merchant, wordsmith etc.
Those that work hard can win Super Bowls. Those than don't, can't even be water boys for those who do.
Speaking Truth to Lies!!! / Facts to Ignorance!!!
