"They get their food stamps, they should get to use them for whatever they want."

Fuck no. I grew up on food stamps. I think they need to be MORE strict about what you can by (like how WIC is).

I don't agree. Not unless everyone now gets to decide what everyone buys. Otherwise, people shouldn't be penalized just because they are on food stamps. They should be free to make their own choices the same as anyone else.

No, because everyone else uses the money they earned. Not the money OTHER people earned and were taxed on.

If I can decide where my tax money goes for some things, I want to decide on all things.

Re: Controversial Opinions

It isn't your money once it has been taxed. It is the government's money. And part of the government's job is to provide for the poor. Once they give them to the poor, it is theirs to do with as they see fit.

People aren't poor because they are lazy and haven't earned anything. People are poor because the system is stacked against them, because there aren't enough jobs for everyone, because so many of the jobs that exist don't pay a livable wage, and because the system continually oppresses them and makes things harder. So what if poor people want nice things every once in a while. No one else has the right to judge them for that or to tell them what they can or can't buy.

Honestly, that mind set really, really pisses me off.

Excellent post.

This. Unless one isn't working, we're ALL putting our money into things we personally may or may not approve of. At some point we all have to learn to deal with that fact somehow.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[philstar22]

Yup. I have problems with my tax money going to the defense budget. It doesn't matter. That's part of paying into the system. Sometimes you pay for things you don't like. That is what taxes is. You don't get to pick and choose.

Re: Controversial Opinions

Compared against that, I'd love my money to go to poor people buying treats for themselves and their children.

Re: Controversial Opinions

[philstar22]

Exactly. Much better use of the money. Before we talk about how poor people spend the tiny, completely inadequate amount we give them, how about we talk about the nearly 50% of our budget that goes to defense? How about we cut some of that first?

Honey, I have some bad news for you.

(You're not going to control everything your taxed money goes to. And if you're really that upset that your taxes are buying a poor person chips you need some fucking perspective, Grow the fuck up and get over yourself)

Re: Controversial Opinions

You don't get to decide where your tax money goes, period. Do you tell your landlord how to spend his money after you pay your rent? No, because then it's your landlord's money. Same principle.
