I was at the grocery store on Friday. In front of me was a mother with two small kids in the cart. Both were eating/wearing chocolate covered doughnuts. In her cart were jewel pops, a large bag of cheetos and a case of coke. She paid for all of it with food stamps.
I stopped her on the way out and asked her if she really liked feeding her kids JUNK on my dime. I told her that if she could afford to spend MY money on that crap she obviously didn't need it.
I have no problem heping those who truely cannot help themselves. She, on the other hand, was fully capable of working. She should not be getting a free ride if she's not working. She should also be restricted from buying that kind of food on my money.
Food stamps should be limited to fresh fruits and vegtables, fresh meat and cold cuts, and other staple items (pasta, rice, beans, pb &j, breads etc).
I pay way too much in taxes to see some kid grow up on cheetos using MY money. If you liberals want to steal the fruits of others labors to keep this going, move to Russia, we don't want or need you in this country!
