        You do realize most adult SNAP recipients are already working, correct? Or that the majority are children and the elderly? What about the foster kids who get food stamps? Or do you believe in forcing births and starving the babies, too?

        Not only starving babies but disabled, elderly and people unable to work. When some can survive off of $38 to $64 a month on food stamps someone please let me know.

        Such a privileged way to look at it. Try to live on what SNAP provides for a month. Then get back to us.

        So you've lived on SNAP for a month? Also no, many other countries have better welfare programs. Ones that treat people like humans, and not "well you're poor because you didn't try hard enough" like the US does.

        I’m a SNAP recipient, I work already. I get $15 a month from SNAP. That covers MAYBE three meals. The rest goes on credit until the next paycheck. We need to help subsidize healthy foods on SNAP, because all we often can afford is sugar/starch-laden food. Or we can #eattherich

        I have several disabilities and have to choose between healthcare and working full-time. It’s a catch-22 that a lot of disabled people have. But rich people, like the author, often don’t care about that.

        And why is that always the first question? Like millions of people haven’t already considered, tried, and failed to get a new job. Try new questions: why can’t ‘they’ get a better job? Childcare? Transportation? Prejudice? Lack of education/training? Then, how do we help?

        How come the rich get HUGE tax breaks for doing nothing; no strings attached yet if a poor person wants to eat, just a basic life necessity, you'll attach strings? Work or starve but here Richie Rich, here's another yacht & may your kids inherit tax free with no work required

        Bullshit. You have no idea what "the poor" need, because if you did, you wouldn't write such a condescending article.

        My mom was single, no help from deadbeat dad who abandoned her when pregnant with baby six. She worked as a secretary by day and waitress at night. We never had SNAP or any other government help. Most she made when I was growing up was 8K a year. If she can do it anyone can.

        I'm really happy about that. For some people that's a point of pride, and I understand that. But it's pretty shitty to judge all people and their circumstances by your own personal story.

        Perhaps try doing some research and enlightening yourself on the processes of systematic poverty and it's effects. Step outside your personal story and read the stories of others.

        I have nothing against Jews. They are God's chosen people, and if I were you, I wouldn't have anything against Jews either. Just sayin'. You might look towards the Rothschilds and their depopulation plans though. Hope that helps.
