Quote:You're so full of it. You must have no clue how poor people actually live. Are people supposed to eat nothing but fruits and vegetables? If you add that cost onto the rest of a grocery bill the cost is very high. Just by buying the basics anymore of bread, milk, cheese, cereal, juice, and some kind of meat for one meal or two will cost over $25 at Walmart and that is the cheapest grocery store around where I live. When you figure that some people get paid once every two weeks (if they have jobs) and you need to eat at least one meal a day, not to mention the gas it takes to get to the grocery store, there goes a large part of the paycheck of someone making on average of $15/hr. and that's a pretty good paying job where I live.

 

This is the most absurd argument in the history of mankind.  For the first time in history we are literally talking about people being too poor to not become obese.  This is so asinine it makes my head hurt.  And I say this as someone who is on the heavy side. 

 

When I wanted to get married I cut my portion size in half and ran 3 miles a day.  Somehow, my waist size shrank without massive bureaucratic intervention against high fructose corn syrup.  This crap about romanticizing poverty is the gateway drug to Marxism.  IT doesn't help anyone, it doesn't promote upward mobility, and frankly its rabidly dishonest. 

 

Don't believe me?  Think about it.  The truly indogent have access to supplemental nutrition (food stamps) free medical care (Medicaid) free housing in some cases (section 8) and 3500 per year per child of other peoples money.  The total amount of government benefits available to citizens of this country already stands at nearly 40k per year and that's before we get to the next stage of nationalizing healthcare should the conservatives fail major reform. 

 

So people have no problem asking me and my wife to each work nearly 80 hours a week to be able to have some kind of life after the state comes in with a gun and a calculator to take a third of what we earn but its too much to ask the people who receive our money to read the back of a @#$^&* label!!! 

 

Do you understand how sick that is? 

 

A child born today has roughly 200 trillion dollars of unfunded federal liability at the time of their birth.  That's disgusting.
