On October 27, the New Mexico Center for Law and Poverty, the Southwest Organizing Project, and a number of food stamp recipients filed suit to halt work requirements for food stamp recipients which are set to go into effect in November.

The Associated Press reports the changes would require "some childless adults [to] work in order to receive food stamps." Other recipients would have to "search for a job or participate in community service or job training."

Tar & feathers would be too nice for the “leaders” of these socialist organizations. At some point, something’s gotta snap. This is America. We work for what we have, and there is NO PLACE for ignorant, socialist organizations such as these. They all need to be treated accordingly.

Well, until the IRS takes it away.

This is ridiculous. I sincerely hope that whomever wins in 2016 tackles this issue. If a person takes food stamps or welfare of any sort, they should have to give back to society in some way, shape or form.

Why do you not mention the government, as a whole, as having that capability? After all, “we, the people” empowered all of government with our votes, and God allows our government, as a whole, to exist?

Again, why single out only the IRS for disdain?

As a reference to the recent stories about the IRS taking w/o even charging people w/ crime.

You apparently haven't ever read my Stop, Drop, and Cower or Washington 40,000 brochure.
