What people on this thread are objecting to are
1) Rampant fraud in the food stamp system (and the welfare system in general), and
2) People using the "safety net" as a hammock, sucking up tax money for generations.
We would rather be able to choose who we are generous with, rather than having our money extracted at gunpoint. You are welcome to be generous with your own money and resources. Being generous with other people's money (which is what's happening when you vote for government-funded welfare) is still being a party to robbery.
I agree with your sentiment. I have no problem helping the truly needy. Problem is, we’re carrying the other 80-90% of the welfare recipeints along with them. Pruning the freeloaders from all government programs would go a long way in resolving this country’s problems.
