Quote:Those food stamp paper cuts are the worst.

 

Anyone trying to dig themselves off welfare will find themselves at a huge disadvantage versus staying on the system. The entire system especially food stamps is DESIGNED to encourage individuals in poverty to make less, the more they make the less the receive in assistance. The levels are ridiculous a family of four making 1500 a month will get $800 in food stamps, if they make another $500 a month in attempt to get out of poverty their food stamps get cut down to $130 a month. They still need help but the system wants them stuck at the lowest possible wage making them completely helpless and in NEED of government assistance. That's the purpose of welfare to beat families into poverty until they NEED the government, you won't fight what you need to survive. 

 

You want to help the poor give them work, teach them a skill, but don't make it to where they can't dig out of poverty.
