The dems call this little plan of theirs “Trickle UP economics”, you actually increase the number of people in poverty to increase revenue to the govt.
Hmm, that would explain Pelosinomics (i.e. $1 in unemployment = $2 in tax revenue) ...

The wealth is being redistributed from people that have to pay for the goods and services out of their own pocket to the people providing the goods and services, the so called rich.
Not to mention the fact that food stamps artificially prop up the price of food by giving poor people dollars with which to buy things they couldn't otherwise afford. For instance, the poor used to make do with beans and rice, etc. But with food stamps, they now drive up the demand - and therefore the price - for foods the middle class pay for out of their own pockets.
Go to the store an watch how many people on food stamps buy the junk food compared to people that are actually paying for the food themselves.
People on food stamps don't worry about spending $5 for a bag of potato chips, cases of soft drinks, cookies, candy etc. every time they are at the store, but people that do pay for it themselves will only do it on special occasion.
If the govt. wasn't paying for all that junk food for govt. leaches the sales for it would be way down.
A lot of grocery stores, especially convenience stores, wouldn't have near the profit for the govt. to tax.
