      Yikes. Straw man much?

      The purpose of food stamps isn’t the pleasure someone gets out of eating a candybar and redbull. The purpose is nutrition and food for those who can’t afford it.

      Implying that I think poor people shouldn’t enjoy anything is ridiculous. Dumb comments are dumb.

      I mean shit, I’m as left progressive as it gets. Id support and additional “pleasure joy” food stamp specifically earmarked for fun candy and treats and shit. Just supplemental to the real food nutritious one. I dunno. While we’re at it, make the billionaires pay for it.

      Your way is “here’s money for food because you cant afford it, you can spend it all on skittles if that makes you happy”.

        The purpose of food stamps isn’t the pleasure someone gets out of eating a candybar and redbull. The purpose is nutrition and food for those who can’t afford it.

        the purpose of food stamps is to steal money from hard working americans and give it to minorities

        Implying that I think poor people shouldn’t enjoy anything is ridiculous. Dumb comments are dumb.

        i didnt imply anything i dont know where you got that from

        sorry i thought you were a patriot but i guess a broken clock is right twice a day

        please dont put quotes in my mouth

      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.
