“EVERY SNAP RECIPIENT is a lazy fat pregnant Black gal with ten kids milking the system.”
I saw a man who was almost worse than the female ghettopotamus / ghettopotami. Young. Able-bodied. Either black or Hispanic. He said it’s the DUTY of working Americans to support him and his sons. And he NEVER will work.
Oh absolutely, there are indeed a whole lot of scammers scamming the system and they should be prosecuted for fraud. But it is not ALL of them as folks try to claim. In fact around 40% are currently employed and work but just not making enough every month to pay rent and eat healthy. And there is another huge percentage of retired elderly folks who need SNAP assistance because Social Security alone is not enough to cover rent, utilities, and food. There are quite a few right here on the FR in this unfortunate position. Widowers trying to get by on half of their husband’s SS are the hardest hit. They absolutely can’t get by without it. This stereotyping everyone on SNAP as all freeloaders is both stupid and absolutely false.
It is actually embarrassing to see this consensus. Complete ignorance of the real facts.
“And he NEVER will work.”
You can bet he works, but not in a job that will affect his ‘benefits’.
Sorry, I meant “Widows”...
i want snap to stop. i’d have no problem even if 50% of rural folks depends on it dies of hunger (they need to eat foods that ‘american’ wouldn’t eat)
