(hprinze) The majority of people collecting SNAP (which is an entitlement by the way) are the people who lost their jobs! Which means they paid into the program before they started collecting it. I am glad you are one of the lucky ones who have a job, But not everyone is as lucky as you. If they are lucky enough to find a job, it's either part time, or the pay and benefits suck, and they end up on government assistance as well. Look most everyone living on the Government's dime would give it away in a heartbeat for a decent paying job with good benefits! Bottom line if you are not one of the lucky 2% then you're probably one paycheck away from needing help yourself! So lighten up, and have some compassion. It could do you some good. So what have we learned... Want people off SNAP create good paying jobs with decent benefits. People working pay taxes, reduce Government debt, and boost the economy. But before you can take their benefits they need jobs! And how can we do that? We make the upper 2% pay their fair share, and put their money into the economy, working, and middle class peoples hand. The more people that are working, the more people that are buying, and the more jobs are needed. It's not the Government assistance programs that are breaking our Nation, it's the lack of jobs. No Brainer really!! It's called supply and demand. And the GOP, Teabaggers will stop at nothing to see this don't happen. Remember this on e******n day coming up! Or we can just let them continue to suck down my ties on their yacht in the Riviera on the poor, and working mans dime?!
