Why does their joy have to be in guzzling cola? States are already taxing high sugar items on the rest of us ffs, how is this any different?
If they want to buy these items they still can, just have to use their own coin, not ours.
Ok buddy, first off you're not the one who's paying a substantial amount of this. Second, prices are only high so people richer than you can be even richer.
Third, you are displaying front-and-center how easily manipulated you are by imagining food stamp users who only get soda and candy.
These conmen are literally controlling your mind, and you're too ignorant to do anything about it. Sad.
fucking moochers is what they are i mean they should really only be allowed to have plain rice and water heck maybe even make them eat dog food im glad theres people like you and yawweee who agree with me
Cat-food sandwiches were good enough for us. Well, we'd have rice and fish heads once a week as a treat. And for breakfast, a cup of steam and a toothpick. When times were good, we wouldn't have to share the toothpick.
Dude, it's even dumber than that.
Has anyone here ever been on food stamps? You get a couple hundred dollars per person per month. That's more than my food budget off of food stamps. I don't buy soda and candy already, why would I get it when I have more resources to buy better food?
This is just a distraction for useful idiots like wildncrazyguy138.
