[christiefan915]

Did cons forget that many working people use food stamps to supplement an inadequate income.... like some in the US military?

Walmart employees, too.

What have Democrats done? To actually bring people out of poverty? The war against poverty has been an abject failure.

Then neither party has anything to brag about re: bringing people out of poverty.

Walmart employees, too.

Maybe if we take away their Gubment subsidies, Walmart will be forced to actually pay their employees a decent wage.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

LOL good luck.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

It does sound logical to me but its never really been done. So what is the counter argument? Why not do this?

Starving children?

 

[GazzaQueen]

You are now for da gubment taking away ppl's kids & doing w/ them as they wish?? Is that now a conservative value??

You think they are all going to be housed etc for free?? All be adopted etc etc etc??

Do you think killing them in order to save them is a better solution?

For the children.

 

[FUCK THE POLICE]

Every one of this administrations proposals is DOA. When I die temporarily out of work Americans will still be allowed to get food stamps to tide them over until they have a job. This stupid and cruel proposal going nowhere.

We're talking about lifelong non-working freeloaders, not working people who might need a small amount of extra help here.

You didn't answer the question?

I really need to say I am against the gubment taking kids?

Of course Im against it.... Only as a last resort....

And what is your determination of a "last resort", when it comes to "druggies and drunks" (your description)?

I thought there was a federal law in place capping benefits at five years.

Are you blind? The gubment already "took" the kids! Who the heck do you think is paying the gubment to take care of others' kids? It's us..the taxpayers. All the mothers did was birth them, they aren't the ones caring for them. The taxpayers are forced into the role of being the mothers and fathers taking care of their nutritional, medical , housing and educational needs. Talking about private adoption here to real families, with real income, with real jobs, with real homes who can give these kids a real chance at love, discipline, encouragement and success.

I believe you're also on record as complaining that there are kids in the foster system who've not been adopted.......I wonder if you realize its because taking kids away from addicts and alcoholics is only a last resort.......

There's an easy solution for that. Pay the military what they deserve to prevent that. They've earned it. As for the rest of those that want nothing more than a handout because THEIR skill set is so low, let them do something to earn it.

All fixed.

It's NOT the government's responsibility to bring people out of poverty. It's the individual's responsibility.

Based on the skills required to do most jobs at Walmart, they are already being paid more than a decent wage.

Starving children?

If a child is doing without, it's the fault of those responsible for making sure that child has what he/she needs. MINE have what they need because they are MY responsibility. Someone else's kids aren't my responsibility.

There are laws in place that say killing someone is illegal.
