I see intersection beggars all the time.
The other day I saw a guy with his rumpled cardboard sign smoking a cigarette.
Dude! You're NOT going to get many sympathy bucks when cigarettes are $8 a pack.
Better to get a dog.
Those bums make bank.

We all haveto take drug tests for JOBS, let them take tests for their BENEFITS that come from govt confiscating money from others.The problem with your idea is, IT MAKES SENSE. Therefore, will never happen.

A former neighbor used to get cigs and beer on his food card from a carryout up the street, but at double the retail cost. Also just south of here is another ‘establishment’ who I hear does the same thing. Both are owned by Americanized ragheads.

They buy other useful commodities, like liquid Tide soap, and barter/sell them for cash or cigarettes. Often times in EBT card communities untaxed cigarettes can be acquired pretty easily.

Being a working stiff,I can’t afford the cost of cigarettes or the time off to care for smoking induced illnesses.
I’m to busy doing my part for all of Oboma’s unidentified illegals pouring into this country.

If I don’t have to buy my own food, pay my own rent, pa for my own medical care, then I can spend the money I have on other things - cigarettes, booze, pot, lottery tickets, you know, the important things in life.
