Those asshole poors! We should deport them! Also, poor fucking Wal-Mart.

The poor will be the world minority of this century.
And everyone despises them.
Some people think not being poor is a simple decision. HEY! I think I'll not be poor today! Simple!
yep, I skimmed the comments on that article. It's shameful how some people start to judge a huge number of people based on one anecdote and arrive at the conclusion that everyone( in the food stamp system) is a lazy thief who deservedly is poor. I hope these people wake up one day to find out they got fired for reasons not concerning them(outsourcing, downsizing due to errors on CEO level, etc...) . Just a little reality check.
One does have to wonder what percentage of these people are poor from their own making. This is not typical activity or attitudes from people who strive to be self-sufficient, nor is it atypical of persons who are generally dependent on taxpayer funded services. Just sayin'.
I find it funny that just a few days ago some woman came out and was all like "Don't judge us, we all aren't that bad". Then this happens. People are people. They see a loophole and they will take it. If they are able to track who went over on their limit, I say take the card away and fuck off.
Now some bitches will say "omg you hate the poors". Well I also hate people who take advantage of a glitch and steal a couple hundred dollars more than their card allows.

No I wouldn't. It's called integrity.
The people that went all wookie that day lost all integrity and respect. Take their card away or if anything do not let them use the thing till the over balance has been justified. Better make that food last.
Honestly I try to find good reasons to believe people are on foodstamps for a justifiable reason, but this incident certainly doesn't help matters. It also doesn't help matters when you see an obvious food stamp user who is also packing a nice shiny cell phone.
If I were to guess, I would say you're in the minority.
If you found money on the sidewalk, you'd return it to the nearest police station, right?
ITT: Good and wholesome ladies and gentlemen. Breakers of no laws.
The only reason you people are pissed off is because it had to do with people on food stamps. They got free shit from Wal-Mart?! Those fucking savages!

Generally word.
What about rich people who avoid taxes and the banks who have made billions out of everyone and then pay their directors multi-million dollar payouts during GFC's? Or multi-million dollar fraudsters........
I think there has been a lot of hate directed there too.
Greed is good.........

What the hell is this "ballin" thing?
Personally I think good on them. I only hope they got canned food/stuff that preserves well and store it up, because that would save money for a couple of weeks which is actually a massive plus when you're poor and could actually do a lot of good in the long run if they plan well and keep it in mind.
If they were just grabbing ALL the blu-ray players and a shopping trolley full of chicken... Well that's a bit short sighted.

This year active duty military members will receive $100,000,000.oo in SNAP (food stamps) assistance. Frick'n "dependent on taxpayer funded services" free-loaders!
81% of SNAP recipients either work full-time jobs, are children, elderly, or disabled. Frick'n "dependent on taxpayer funded services" free-loaders!

Americans spent almost $75B on food assistance programs in 2012. The Obama Administration has increased the SNAP roles by offering it to more and more families, many of whom aren't living in or near poverty, including military personnel. This doesn't implicate or exclude military recipients form abusing the system.
SNAP isn't the only such program. While abuse of government programs isn't limited to any economic class of people, just take a look at how individuals in the same state abused government assistance after Katrina.

You see poor walking around with cell phones because companies do everything possible to make them affordable so they can have a sale, even if it is not as grand a sale as they can make on someone else. You can buy the phone outright, you can get a phone for cheap with the yearly contract (IE making the phone affordable so they can milk you for money with the service), or as readily available as buying minutes. All of these options were created for varying levels of customer. For a company to shun a demographic because they are poor or rich would also mean they would loose sale. So they make some special deals and advertise the industry and culture so that everyone has to have a phone, and everyone can get a cell phone deal.
The reality is that people are weak minded. Our society revolves around advertisement, sales, marketing, and making profit. If you can convince weak minded, whether poor or rich, to buy your product then you make money whether or not it screws the person over; their monetary status dos not matter. You can always blame them, for they fell into societal pressure to have the latest gadget.
Or, you can accept that as a universal constant, and actually try and do something to shrink the income gap. Close loopholes. Get rid of retarded trickle down taxes. Make corporate fraud and high-income crimes have much bigger punishment when violated. Lock up CEO's for 20 years after stealing billions instead of a teen with some drugs.
Oh yeah and also, being in the military totally pays well.

Lets take a Corporal with 4 years of experience...$27,659
Poverty line for him/her to support spouse and two kids...$23,550
Such great pay!
You can play with the numbers/experience/size of family...military DOES NOT pay well. Then you consider the fact that most of our force consists of the poor, less educated, and immigrants. Just what our nation needs! Lets keep gutting education programs and making it difficult to become a citizen so we can supply all our war effort to topple dictators and hand out contracts to mega-corporations that our leaders have stock in. Rich get richer, poor get fucked.
