The poor people are more likely to have their welfare benefits card with them. Many(most?all?) states issue benefits(handouts?) through electronic debit style cards in an attempt to stop recipients from spending the funds for drugs and booze.

It burns me to see a woman and six kids(no father in evidence) pushing a grocery cart loaded with high-priced items all being paid for with my taxes! SELDOM do thes people buy the generic,or the inexpensive ingredients like flour,oatmeal,etc. Rent subsidies simply benefit landlords ,anyway.

But the Democrats can count on these people to vote for more of the same so the productive members of society need to at least make sure no one votes more than once !

And some of it may be them doing grocery shopping for others, letting welfare pay for it, and getting cash from the real recipient.
