Un Be Lievable. Combat pride, beliefs, and self-reliance to get more people dependent on government.
I want to weep. I really want to weep.
A Common SNAP Myths sheet from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) Community Outreach Partner Toolkit details the importance of reaching people who do not think they qualify or have beliefs that conflict with accepting food stamps.
This reminds me of a recent essay by Daniel Greenfield.
>>>The old kings used to play chess games with human chess pieces, a metaphor for how they saw their power over their subjects. The new kings or czars play with hundreds of millions of chess pieces. They assess how many pieces they have in a census, determine what kind of pieces they are and pass laws telling them where to move, what to buy and how to live. And they are no more tolerant of pawns who fail to move when ordered to; than the old kings playing human chess in their gardens.
In the last century, the Great Solvers went to work on a national and global game of human chess. They called this game by various names, The New Deal, the New Frontier, Hope and Change, or, most commonly, Social Justice. The real name of the game is "There Ain't No More Middle Ground". Either you are a New Dealer, a New Frontierer, a Hope and Changer, a Tolerator, a Liberal, a Donor, an Activist and an Organizer-- or you are on the wrong side.
You might think that you are standing in the great moderate middle, the open-minded frontier of the old American, but the frontier and ground are both gone. There is only Problemtown and Solutionville and the bulldozers are coming to knock down Problemtown next week and deport its residents to Solutionville. <<<
