But just a short while ago I saw a young man with no physical problems buy fudge pops with a food stamps card then get into a Honda cube that was brand new. Much much nicer than my van was.

Btw, you have no clue it that was his vehicle, if it were a relatives car, a friends, his mother's car, or if it were stolen.

I can assure you the majority of folks on welfare/food stamps are not purchasing brand news cars. The big problem with food stamps/welfare is millions of foreign nationals and illegal aliens are choking the system off. Just like the hospitals, other social services, et al.

It's imperative, the borders must be secured and government's endless reckless chain immigration needs to end.

Sure but how about all the people who pull up to the drive threw at my wife work. She works in a pharmacy. They are on medicaid and drive some of the nicest cars you have ever seen.

I once rented a apartment while I had to work in another state than my family. The building that my apartment faced had a guy on welfare. Every night he would turn on what looked to be a 72 inch flat screen TV.

You are right that it might not have been his car but that still does not get rid of the fact that he was maybe 22 and buying fudge pops with a EBT card.

This article is about people who are single and can work but are not. If this is true they should not be collecting benefits. They need to look out for themselves and not taking from the labor of others.

If someone is truly in need I as well as others would have no problem helping I am sure. The point is that it is my choice to help. I do not force my neighbor to give to someone else. Who am I to say how much of a slave he or she should be. In essence that is what welfare is. You enslave the workers and take their wages.
