    it’s amazing that EBT cards can buy $35 racks of baby back ribs, not to mention shopping carts full of soda, but can’t seem to work on a turkey. I once saw a fat cow complaing that she could not buy charcoal with her EBT card. She complained “howza my suposeto cook dees ribs?”

    And you use that one person to confirm your bias against everyone that uses ebt huh?

    Hey Andy, who died and made you God? That woman you speak so fondly of was granted life and if more individuals in a position of influence and power would put her to work full time with medical benefits, your oh so precious tax dollars would not be needed to help her get her BBQ on. Corrupt CEOs, politicians, police and government officials have stolen more from you and your fellow citizens and laughed about it behind your ignorant back because you choose to focus your disgust and outrage on a woman. Congratulations ANDY: you have just been punked by the IRON TRIANGLE.

    Keep looking behind you as you bend over to collect you dragging knuckles and you might catch a glimpse of who it is that is actually f–k–g you.

  • Change the system

    There are too many people who abuse the system. Free stuff is addictive. Colleges endorse and tout socialism as the way to go. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK OVER THE LONG TERM. WELFARE PROGRAMS create more welfare programs and soon we have a nation of dependent people. Why do we not establish a work for welfare program. People can work in their communities for welfare and maybe develop some self worth. Also drug testing would be mandatory. Drugs are one of the main reason people fall into the role of being dependent. By the way I visited the Occupy Oakland protest, few sincere people, majority of the participants are not sincere and are there for the event, lots of pot smoking. The protest has no real validity especially since violence has erupted.
