Sounds real conservative. Take private business entirely out of it. More like the Soviet Union.
That’s what I’m talking about - Freepers sounding like communists. I can see why many vote Democrat - they have gone through hard times and need the safety net - who would want to be a conservative when their families are starving? I wish people would stop being so judgmental. I’ve helped many people out with food, but can’t do it on a full-time basis, and yes, my tax dollars supported those who didn’t or couldn’t work, but I’m not complaining. My tax dollars also supported Planned Parenthood, and other programs I don’t agree with, but as a citizen of a country - we take the good with the bad. People have had it hard these past few years and they need to eat.Not all are on food stamps by choice. When you point a finger at someone - you have 3 pointing back at yourself. Never judge a person until you walk a mile in their shoes.
Many elements of capitalism are already removed from the system. The recipients don’t earn what they get. They have no real cares about how they spend the “free” benefits. In a government program my concern is how much is spent, wasted and used fraudulently. I want the recipients to get only no-name goods. I don’t care if private stores “sell” it. But those on the government teat should not get name brand stuff, nor luxury items like lobster, etc. when many of those who pay the taxes don’t buy that kind of items.
