yep

Other than creating even more govt dependency (votes), what purpose does this serve? Are we being conditioned to food rationing stamps that allow us to get a block of govt cheese each month?

only foot the republicants have to stand on now,how weak!

@scorpio: Stay on topic.

just got back in from mowing lawn,sweating like stiff willard romney,waiting for poll results!

Foodstamps: the Democratic way of life.

Weak indeed!!!!

Democrats are helpless, that's why they want a nanny-state to take care of them.
Poor babies.

one of many things i don't like about stiff willard romney,is his "for sale" sign on his forehead!

Well at least it's better than the one on your leaders forehead "foreclosure".

It no secret that actually there are more whites and Republicans on food stamps. Whites have always outnumbered other groups on welfare.

Take a look at the red states and rural areas and look at the history. It makes sense because there are more white people in America than any other race.

I find it interesting that whites and blacks have only a 5% difference when there's 3 times more whites than blacks. So actually it's not a democrat thing or a black thing.

The racial breakdown of food stamp recipients is as follows:

•41% white
•36% African-American
•18% Hispanic
•3% Asian
•2% Native American
•1% unknown race or ethnicity

This is a neat website - you can go to the government websites too to get the information.

Whites outnumber blacks 7-1, not 3-1. When you factor that in, it most certainly changes the numbers.
Welfare is not a color issue, and just because someone is white, doesn't make them republicans, and viseversa.
But, it is however a democratic make-up, moreover, its a liberal make-up, they believe they are entitled to be fed and taken care of, Conservatives don't think that way, We don't want government handouts, period.
Theres no way in hell, I would be okay with someone else, working their butt of, only to have it taken away and given to me.
Progressive Woodrow Wilson, created this to control the poor, and garner their support.
Welfare in this country has turned into a free for all, government handing out tax payer money like it was candy.
I know people who have been on welfare for years and years, continued having kids they knew they couldn't feed.
Because the system is flooded, it's hard to get the fraudsters out.
The biggest part of the fraud, has come from inside the system, The DHS, Caseworkers, putting friends and family on welfare, giving them outrageous amounts of food and money, in Michigan there have been 17 DHS WORKERS FIRED, 3 HAVE BEEN CONVICTED.
More to follow I am sure.
I work with people on welfare, they refuse to work more than 15 hours, they call in at the worst times, leave the rest of holding the bag.
Then when they shop, I see they have upwards to 1500.00 in food and another 1000.00 in cash.
How many f*cking kids to you need to have to get that, and why weren't these idiots more careful.
I see people who don't even have kids, collecting, they turn 18, use a different address and collect, sorry but welfare is not a birthday present.
I am sick of this attitude, I'll spend my money on the things I want, and someone else can feed me.
Another girl I work with just got another tattoo, but she needs her welfare , she's got kids. IGNORANCE.

Janet said: "I find it interesting that whites and blacks have only a 5% difference when there's 3 times more whites than blacks."

That just shows that there's a much, much, much bigger percentage of the black population on food stamps compared to the percentage of the white population on food stamps, Janet.
Your statement was counter to your intent.
BTW, I don't expect you to understand any of this so don't get your ass in an uproar, I really don't care.

And believe me, Janet, those whites on welfare ain't Republicans.
They're the ones you hate, the poor white trash, and they all vote Democrat to keep the free stuff coming.
Just like you do.

Speaking of white trash, they were all loading up on 4th of july stuff today, it's a kegger at Mike and Julies, whoever the hell they are. Guy spent another 200 of his ebt cash on fireworks, only we got a drought notice, no firworks allowed, cause it;s so dry, he'll be the idiot who sets the trees on fire.

Unless I missed it, the link I posted mentioned neither race nor political party. It was never-can-stay-on-topic-scorpio who brought up republicans.
