I'm MUCH more disturbed by corporate welfare than I'll ever be about any individual on public assistance. Even those who are defrauding the system. I think there's a lot more to be pissed off about with corporations getting all the perks they do. I don't mind people getting assistance to feed themselves and their children.
What I DO mind are corporations taking advantage of every single loophole they can find to increase their own profits at the expense of their employees and the People at large. I DO mind that many of them pollute our environment with impunity. I think before I'll ever deny any American any level of public assistance, I'll want to see all corporations paying their fair share and being held 100% accountable for everything they do.

I have received food stamps-as a former social worker used to determine eligibility for AFDC and food stamps. You can't generalize. My ex-husband who is 100% disabled gets $750 month and does not qualify for food stamps. So I must go to the food bank for him. My girlfriend raised 4 kids by herself-no child support-worked full time nights and lived in welfare housing. Don't be so quick to condemn.

Seems to me it is a very good thing for there to be a safety net for the poor. I personally don't mind paying my fair share towards social programs. I wish I was paying a little more and that everyone had single payer healthcare. That would be a wise use of tax dollars. I do wish I was not paying so much of my taxes for the most expensive military budget on earth however.

Yeah, no.
