'The Food Stamp Programme', administered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, is proud to be distributing this year the greatest amount of free Meals and Food Stamps ever, to over 46 million people. Meanwhile, the National Park Service, administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, asks us "Please Do Not Feed the Animals." Their stated reason for the policy is because; "The animals will grow dependent on handouts and will not learn to take care of themselves."
Thus ends today's lesson in

Doing the rounds in England.
That was going the rounds in Canada as well except it's: "Do not feed the Bears."

No, this is more like a lesson in not having the facts. Fact: Roughly half of all households receiving food stamps have children. Your answer: let the kids starve or get good high paying jobs. Fact: Roughly half of all housholds receiving food stamps have wage earners. Your answer: let the adults work six jobs, the lazy bums. Fact: Roughly one in ten households receiving food stamps are eldery households. Your answer: let the old folks starve or go back to work. Regarding the working age households without children who receive food stamps, please provide facts, not emotion and fuzzy feelings, on who they are before implying that they are lazy.
They need these programs to keep up their strength so they can protest and riot.

What an absolute disrespectful, idiotic, insensitive and downright ignorant post. Not funny, not intellectual, not intropestive, not true but downright degrading to those who are down on their luck. Philosophical garbage like your post only proves that you feel that you are just a part of "the elite". Bully for you that....."Hey, you're cool....no worries....just keep on truckin". Ignorant post.......Tommy

Over 46 million people on the government dole. Your answer: keep them dependent on the government so they will vote Democrat. Free Meals and Food Stamps is not the answer for 46 million people that has become a burden on the rest of society.
all i know is that i pay over 16 grand a yr in federal taxs and get nothing back in my tax return but if you are a female and have a child and pay less then 1,500 in taxs you will get at least 6 grand back due to the fact you have kids ..if you cant afford kids dont breed just to get the money ..my girlfriend a few yrs ago got more back then she made for the whole yr in her pay ..you think that is fair

I pay a similar amount in taxes and I get a lot for it: a stable country, an economy that's still the envy of the world, health insurance for almost everyone, the knowledge that most seniors and children aren't starving, etc. I don't feel that I am over taxed. And compared to the rest of the developed world we are not overtaxed. And regarding "fairness", why focus on anecdotes concerning poor people when the real fairness issue is the wealthy who don't pay their fair share of taxes. If you earn ten million and pay 39% (and most rich people pay far less than 39%) you're still filthy rich. Or Wall Street executives who made millions, caused the great recession, didn't get prosecuted and now earn even more. That's the fairness issue that people like us should be focusing on.

No, I didn't say that, so stop puting words in my mouth. And isn't it interesting that you didn't provide one fact to support your fuzzy, emotional feelings.

Your factual and logical statements will no doubt be lost on the OP. Check his list of postings for a deeper view of a judgmental, bigoted person, who from all appearances doesn't know what it means to be hungry and who feels free to comment on the character of the poor in another country.
what i was trying to say is if your mom and dad and your grama and grampa were all on public assistance its time to break the cycle ..i had two kids due to the fact that is all i could pay for ..people on assistance dont care and keep having more kids just to keep the free money coming in ..in my area a good apartment cost me 700 a month cuz im working but if your not working and getting the free money u get the same place for 50 bucks a month ..i dont mind paying my fair share but the free loaders get the same protection and streets to drive on as i do but dont pay a dime to do that

I didn't put these words into your mouth... They come from me, my mouth to you. As for providing facts... figure it out yourself - simple logic.
