    The LIB Media Elites are flat out misrepresenting the facts about food stamps. They continually claim more non Blacks are on food stamps than Blacks. This is true. BUT and it's a huge BUT. Let's do a little elementary math. Blacks make up about 13.6% of the population yet they recieve about 33% of the total number of food stamps handed out. You do the math!
    Imagine 100 people in a room. Thirteen-fourteen are Blacks. Someone walks in with 100 food stamps and Thirteen-fourteen Blacks walk up and take thirty three of them. And the LIB elite media has to temerity to twist the numbers to make it appear that non-Blacks are actually the largest recipients of food stamps. NOT ON A PER-CAPITA Basis!!!!!!!
    So next time some MSNBC LIB makes that false claim remember it's a load of BS.

    So what, even the right can't seem to muster up enough morals to solve our social dilemma of poverty simply by bearing true witness to our own laws regarding the concept and legal doctrine of employment at will.

    all these stupid social programs will never work..they are designed to keep you poor..the answer is giving them an education and proper job training so they can get ahead..but the problem would be they would wake up some day and see its the dems that have been holding them back all these years and then the dems would lose the votes

    Except that statistically, people only use things like food stamps temporarily as a result of an unforeseeable incident that cuts their income (medical bills, losing their job, natural disasters, etc.)

    Please don't frustrate the trolls with things like statistics or facts!

    Nothing takes the joy out of a good circle-jerk hate-fest quicker than reality!

    Not really a current event , but don't see the point of seeing which race has more food stamps .

    Your example doesn't make your point.

    In any case, it hardly matters, unless you think there's some significance in introducing race into the issue of poverty and hunger.

    Food stamps also mostly go to working people. And the allotment has been reduced to $130 a month, a little over $4 a day.

    Meanwhile, the GOP decouples the benefits part of Food Stamps from the Farm Bill and generously fattened the agricultural subsidy portion, the lion's share of which goes to weathy farmers and big agra.

    They is typical.

    Demonize the poor, and shift the subsidy to the wealthy and big business while people are distracted by the noise you're making over the "free stuff".

    It used to be embarrassing to be on food stamps.

    Now you have people on youtube who openly admit that they're teaching their kids how to get welfare.

    Unfortunately you can't shame people into working anymore because people just don't care. Getting welfare is like a badge of honor. Who can get more free money.

    The poor are the poors fault. Not the rich.
