cams posted:ok i will up the tax to $.90/gallon and now everyone gets $500 a month in food stamps. i hope you populists will find this adequate. Sold. Except the food stamps have to be able to be spent on anything, rather than a narrow list approved by the morality police.

Concordat posted:gonna buy a new nintendo with those food stamps Yeah sure, whatever. You are best able to decide what goods you need to get by, and if youve got the food and shelter situation covered and you want to buy a Nintendo then go for it. To not be snarky for a moment everyone gets up in arms over fraud and poors buying Nintendos or whatever when no strings attached income supplements are suggested, and sure it happens in some cases, but the vast majority of people would use the money to buy essentials they can't currently get with food stamps. My aunt was on food stamps when I was young, and she could buy poo poo like steak but she couldn't buy essentials like toilet paper. My mom and my aunt used to go shopping together, with all the food in my aunt's cart and all the non-food items in my mom's. Its ridiculous that dumb morality police trying to save the poor from themselves just make their lives harder than it already is because they can't stop making GBS threads themselves over the possibility that some poor kid might get a Nintendo, or some guy might buy beer and cigarettes. All the welfare fraud in America amounts to basically a rounding error in the federal budget. Get angry over corporate tax cheats that actually move the needle. Welp thats my rant hope you liked it. cams posted:the tax just got ten cents higher. We should build an American Gladiators style arena along the Mexican border. Anyone who can get through Nitro and Laser gets a green card.

Concordat posted:The joke was more about me being bad at budgeting than about imagined fraud. I understand jokes, but its also a thing people actually argue about. Also they assume all poor people are bad at budgeting and would therefore squander money on video games if they didn't have the morality police looking out for them, because people think poors are automatically stupid instead of just poor. Go back to the jokes, I won't do it again, it's just a thing I have to yell about for a minute sometimes.
