I know a guy in Texas who's happy as a fat rat in a cheese house.

Complete FAIL here. I've known, and, still know people that work and make very good money at their jobs. Still, somehow or another, they manage to get food stamps and I'm not sure what "loophole" their using to accomplish this.

This is bad on two accounts: (1) Some of these people get the stamps, use some of 'em for food, and simply sell the rest for cash. (2) It takes away from those people who have lost their jobs, and use stamps to supplement their unemployment insurance so they can eat. There are people that need this program providing they meet specific criteria.

I know the system is abused and has been for years...EVEN DURING THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION but, it's because it's made overly easy to qualify for. Hell, George didn't get rid of 'em and no one complained. It's an "in between" jobs, or, temporary hardship program that's abused.

I have said here, openly in an LP thread, that I oppose the Welfare Program its' current form...and for the reasons stated above. All blacks aren't on food stamps, neither are all whites, hispanics, etc. It's a conglomoration of ethnicities and loopholes that's the problem.

Why are you bringing race into it, Lonely Loser?
Don't be a hater.
You're no better than anybody else.
So knock it off.
Now.

No, I'm really not any better than anyone else...and I conduct myself as such. See, I know how to hit the right nerves with you, buddy. You were okay as long as the idea of only blacks being on food stamps was prevailing. Uh huh...all pointing back to Obama who's black. I keep telling, you, over and over ridge, you're just way too easy for me. Your mind is closed...still has that blatant hate and racist tempo...OPENLY.

The minute I disclosed how ALL ETHNICITIES partake in the abuse of the program, you decided to become froggy and jump. Are you so lost that you don't believe that there are, in fact, white people who are also (R) on food stamps? There are hispanics on 'em, blacks, asian, indian, etc. Please don't embarrass yourself in front of millions of people by attempting to paint and foster a FALSE REALITY OF ONLY BLACKS BEING ON THIS PROGRAM.

You will be the laughing stock of all LP time...all while you're surfing the web and posting as much as you can about Obama being so bad. Well, Bush left 'em in place, too. Now, let's see you hang Bush out to dry. www.ontheissues.org/George Bush On Welfare. I read too, ridge, and Bushy put a lot of this in place while still trying to reasonably revise portions of it.

And now, go to FactCheck.org and check the topic "Newt's Faulty Food- Stamp Claim. Buddy, you'll never be able to successfully bullsh*t me...EVER. Be sure to visit the site so you can actually learn something about the world in general. All ages and ethnicities have their hands in the cookie jar...ESPECIALLY THAT 49% WHITE (non-HISPANIC) TOWARDS THE BOTTOM.

Lucky, I been seeing the fraud for years, Under many Presidents, I live in a city thats 92% white, most of the people I speak of, are in fact white.
They are lazy and stupid, quite often the wife works at some low paying job, while big fat dad sits on his big fat butt pretending to be a man of the world. Most times you can identify 3 plus meals from the food stains on their shirts.

Santa Claus came early again for the naughty and nice. Naughty and nice has no color. The naughty has no conscious. The naughty can be anybody so the liberal "race card" does not apply. The nice are well deserving and I know a few but the fricking naughty that I know are Obama Supporters and work and still get food stamps ??? WTF ??? Somebody please give me a ticket to that gravy train. BUT then again, I HAVE A CONSCIOUS. So no thank you.

@Lonely Loser
You're the only one who keeps bringing up race, Loser.
I told you to leave race out of it cuz you ain't no better than anybody else no matter what you say.
Why are you so obsessed with it?
Does it have anything to do with your obsession with hookers?
Most hookers are white.
And the majority of people on welfare and food stamps are white and that's the truth whether you want to accept it or not.
So what's your deal with making everything racial?
Are you still mad at me for not coming down there for a night out with your hookers?
That's it, ain't it?
I knew it!
