“It is disparaging to see the EBT recipient in line ahead of you purchasing higher quality meats and luxury items (such as junk food) that you cannot afford because of the taxes taken out of your check”

I’m puzzled how they can afford all that high-end indulgence when the average SNAP allotment is about $125 per person per month.

I’ve always assumed and actually observed, that they will band together in a household, so it’s several disability checks, EBT cards, kids from different dads getting WIC, and on and on. This is why the welfare queens often have a long term “fiance” but no husband.

Pair all that with free medical care and not paying any taxes, and their standard of living exceeds that of many hard working nuclear families, or retiree households. Infuriating.
