There was an article posted on FR earlier about how the hunger claim is a myth with Americans living under the poverty line.
As a matter of fact, I know from first-hand knowledge and observation that most of those on welfare and/or living below the poverty line have all of the usual accoutrement in their homes: cell phones, cable TV, flat screens, computers, laptops, wireless Internet.
For some reason that doesn’t scream “impoverished” to me.
So will “Lily” be obese, sporting a cell phone and a custom manicure, and swiping her EBT card as she orders a Happy Meal?
Use the drugs argument. Get the audience to agree that drugs cause dependance and when a person becomes dependant, they are essentially a slave to their addiction. Show that there are different types of addiction. Get them to agree that dependance is bad and that people who get people to be dependant (pushers) are even worse.
Then build the argument that taking government money is a type of depenance. Show that people who take government money give up there freedoms in exchange for the money. Then show how people become addicted to government handouts, money, programs, etc. Show how it is not fair for government to give money to some people and take it from others. Make the emotional push that the government is the pusher.
Caution - avoid doing the look alike puppets. Runs into all kinds of legal issues and they can tie you up in court and prevent you from presenting the video.

Sesame St., is that still on?
I raised two children and they watched a single episode of it.
