Most poor people in America are blubber-butts. They are poor spiritually, not financially.

They get lobster on their EBT cards. I eat beans while they are eating lobster.

But that's OK. I like beans.;-)

I have posted this picture before: This supermarket is just two miles from my house (I have actually seen this very same picture posted in many threads and even on other web sites):

I understand most normal people would like to help out those less fortunate in some way, even to the point where I could even condone using tax dollars to help.

But what this sign implies shows that the system is so far out of whack that it should either be shut down completely or scaled back and restricted so dramatically that this sign would be completely unnecessary.

I would not have as much of a problem with using EBT to only purchase bread, eggs, butter, flour, cheese, milk, etc.

But to be able to use it to purchase steak, lobster, beer, cigarettes, and so on, is an insult and abomination.
