MoonTuna posted:well you see poors I'm not calling bullshit or anything, I'm just shocked. I searched around a little bit, and depending on the source the percentage of people using foodstamps ranges between eleven and fourteen percent. This is aboslutely insane to me for a first world country. I honestly had no idea things were that hosed there.

Always relevant to this discussion: Even if you don't care about people starving in the streets of a 1st-world nation, food stamps stimulate the economy. People don't save their food stamps for when the economy improves. They go and spend them at their local markets, creating jobs that can't be outsourced.

I used my state's online welfare calculator once to see how much money I could get from welfare assistance. It was like $20 a month. It should have really been more. That's something, but not much. Apparently, if a lot of poor people live together it seems it would inflate the household income like that to a number that artificially represents money actually available to the individuals within for food -punishing them for the wise, cost-cutting decision... unless they defraud the state simply by claiming no/fewer roommates to get an amount that would actually provide them enough food to stay healthy. I imagine there are a lot of poor people that can't afford to live alone and also don't claim the total household income on their welfare applications. If that turns out that is the lion's share of welfare fraud, then I give exactly 0 fucks about welfare fraud or people's bs scapegoating it. (OP, you really need to use the quote tags and bold some things you want to emphasize for the thread.) particle409 posted:Always relevant to this discussion:

I wish someone could take tonight's Futurama Nixon quote and turn it into an awesome .bmp pic: Nixon: "If I am elected president, I will cut taxes for the rich, and use the poor as a cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel!" Fry: "That'll show those poors!" Leela: "What the hell are you talking about? You don't even have that much money." Fry: "Yeah, but someday I might.... and when I do, we will need stuff like this to keep people like me in line."

particle409 posted:Check me out, I have a graph, I think I'm better than everyone, blah blah blah You make a passionate argument but it sounds a bit too much like trickle down economics. Unfortunately I am a democrat, and we don't believe in this sort of wizardry. When someone believes in Reaganomics then they are able to actually see the invisible hand of the market and this can have real, measurable affects. Sadly for those of us liberals who lack the faith to follow the one true and good path, then trickle down economics are no more real than Santa Claus, the Easter bunny or Gingivitis.

I am so liberal that every time I see a picture of Regan my penis twitches in the bad way. Like, when you see a hot woman that I would totally bone all night but the opposite of that. I love vagina by the way this is totally not gay. Just talkin about penis twitching, you don't have to read into it. Seriously, who wants to go pour some tequila on some tits and get wild and blow some guys huh?!

It's funny to think that the ultra-rich financials essentially got where they are by using the real-world equivalent of a video game exploit.

Many grocery stores sell both potting soil and fluorescent lighting fixtures. Get food stamps, buy lights and soil, grow pot, stop being poor. The poors are already on dope, Florida not only proved they were using drugs, but that they were experts at hiding it (just look at Trayvon Martin, he was able to smoke a blunt, get shot, and pass a drug test). Trouble is that some of the people that use my idea won't be Anglo Saxon, landowning, Christian males. Those people only wound up poor because the Mexicans took the blue collar jobs that were the backbone of Main street America. Truly this is the final generation.

If all Americans were starving, then maybe the rest of the world wouldn't be so hosed. Just kidding. If all Americans were vegans, then maybe the rest of the world wouldn't be so hosed.
