+Lazarus, Speaking only for ME, every race has problems. Until it stops being about race, these problems will never get fixed. Poor is poor. poor doesn't have a color. But i do understand what you mean about TYT.
Shilo Englert Just for the record, (unfortunately I'm an expert), you can not pay for toilet paper with food stamps. It isn't food. LOL It must be an edible, you can not by food already prepared, like a rotisserie chicken (which makes NO sense when they go on sale at about 2100 hours). The exception to being edible is to buy seeds or starts to garden more food. It's great except seeds and starters cost SO much anymore, I can't afford to garden, even buying the seeds with food stamps. Some farmers markets now give you twice the amount of fruits and vegetables as the stores if you're using food stamps. Actually, an e.b.t. card, electronic balance transfer card. Like a debit card, far less embarrassing than the actual stamps were. No tobacco products whatsoever, no liquor of any sort, no accessory products or paper products, t.p. as previously mentioned, foil, baggies, diapers (for babies or the elderly). All those things and more must come out of the famous "fixed income of S.S.Disability". Didn't mean to bore you, I just overflow as the font of useless trivia.
+gotskinn They would still take it but it would be used for more important things. 30% of all US debt is owed to its self because it cost more to run the country then they government gets. So if they stopped food stamps money would be used to improve roads and other things. I know that some people do need food stamps, but some people are just lazy. I would make new rules about who gets food stamps.
+Vexa more important things improve roads? lmao what crack are you smoking you complete dumb ass if you think they would do that with that money. What did Wall Street do with all the extra money we have them?
+darkcoeficient you don't know he doesn't have a job, I work full time and am still eligible for food stamps because I don't make enough to pay for my rent, utilities, food for 3, etc. many people on food stamps work but need the supplemental assistance because the waves are so low.
darkcoeficient An economy should not allow room for plunder (exploitation) or parasitism. However, unless you correct both, you correct neither. And the crazy thing is the Walden family are some of the more exploitative employers in existence. And they’re going to be the harder to correct than the food stamp people, as they’re the ones with the money to lobby legislators and buy candidates. The guy with the food stamps isn’t buying any candidates. He’s got enough to keep his family alive and that’s it. 47 million other Americans are in the same boat as him-this, whether they have jobs or not. They simply have no free capital to assemble a team of Jack Abramoffs and to begin bankrolling candidates through superPACs. I don’t know if that answers your question, but it is why I wrote what I did in my comment.
logan7699 omg tell me about it. My boss was told she would be cut off stamps for pulling overtime. This woman worked so hard. Her husband died, and then she would have to worry about food.. I was like that's a darn shame. Wonderful woman...
Sometimes I think they have secret meetings just talking about this. “Alright next tell them the poor people aren’t doing their jobs and that’s why everything is expensive”
I'm used to this, about once a month someone will tell me to get a job while I'm checking out at the grocery store. I've found that my reply of "oh, you're going to donate your kidney to me so I can go back to work?" usually shuts them up.
+meg arbo but it's so sad that we have to act... I work my ass off at my job and I need the assistance for my son and I and just because I need the help does not make me less than....
+LUIGGI HUERTA It's true. The bottom 50% of earners in the US account for 3% of all income tax collection. The top 10% account for 67% of all income collected. This woman is most definitely in that bottom 50%.
There are a lot of people who do work and receive foodstamps. it allows them to NOT be homeless and able to eat. there was a point that I needed them, and after I paid rent and other bills I barely had money for food so food stamps did help
I'm so so sick of heartless republicans blaming democrats for all the free handouts. There are just as many voting republicans on free government assistance as there are democrats! I wish these dihard, gun toting, ignorant republicans would jump on the Trump barge and travel all the way off the planet!

Lindsey Wills-Vertz I am glad that your stamps where able to help you. I work retail to provide for my family, I had a woman who was Caucasian come through my line her head held down ashamed to use the card. She began telling me what happened, I said sweetie, don't hold your head down, do not be ashamed, if this is how you are able to feed your self and family. Be thankful you have something. You owe Noone a explanation as to why you use your card. Be blessed and continue looking forward. She said that is the kindest thing said to her bc her family turned on her. Not "all" humans are trying to "use" the system...
It's inappropriate, no two ways about it. Right after the 2008 crash, I saw people buying groceries with coins. They had no cash. Some nervously waited to see their bill total, some did not have enough money, and tried to put things back. Basics, like eggs, milk, bread, potted meats. I would give them money. Instead of denigrating those who may have fallen on hard times, behave like you're a man who understands that not everyone has as much as you do. Be kind. Be considerate. Don't judge. For those who have kids and may have been laid off their job, keeping a roof over their heads is paramount. When it comes to feeding their kids, I know A LOT of poor parents who will go hungry so their kids can have more. They shop at thrift stores, wear hand-me-down clothing, shoes that are so worn, they have holes in them. There is absolutely NOTHING RIGHT about shaming someone in public because they are on some sort of public assistance. This woman ought to be ashamed of her own behavior, but some of you out there listen to too much Fox News, and somehow have gotten the idea that YOU have the right to disrespect others in this manner. Shame on you. GROW UP.
so true the 08 crash did several things I observed. 1, piggy bank money, the chalky smell from the piggy bank stinks up money. 2, Many old bills started popping up, I got quite a few 1960s bills people obviously had to use, even silver coins made it into my change.
51% of the federal budget goes to the military industrial complex. 56% more was paid out to corporate welfare over public welfare. usuncut.com/class-war/10-corporate-welfare-programs-that-will-make-your-blood-boil/
Steev Rawjers Yeah...are you hungry? Tough luck. We have guns and bombs to buy! More kids to accidentally kill somewhere far away. Now let's bow our heads and pray.
***** true . there has to be a limit to what a budget can handle for any thing it is funding . there is no such thing as unlimited credit unless you are going to war . imagine iF we increased the budget for food stamps to the point where all we produced was food . that would be terrible for the economy . unlimited funding for food this requires a lot of imagination .
+AmaranteStryfe Same in my area. Where I live you have to reapply for food stamps every month and show proof of income and where your money goes towards as far as bills.
+AmaranteStryfe It's a cold game the people with power got setup. People so brainwashed to nag about welfare when most taxpayers money go to military and we don't bother asking why. Hell I bet some use it to take their side chick out to Paris and all that...
+Kip Higginson It is the same principal as the girls/women who wear t-shirts proclaiming they are hot. A truly hot girl or woman doesn't need a t-shirt.
We do not hate poor people...we dislike people that are free riding the government because it costs us money in taxes. If someone needs foodstamps and what not, then it is okay. This man is a free loader, it is irritating to see a lazy free loader piggy back off your paycheck to purchase a rather full basket of food...like Kix cereal, as can be seen. This video is completely liberal media crap that is staged against Republicans.
Unfortunately most people have it in their head that a sizable minority or even a majority of food stamp users are these lazy welfare queens that sit on their ass all day in a section 8 apartment (housing subsidy), smoking weed, collecting welfare checks, and pop out babies. Now while those people exists, it hasn't been proven that they are a majority or even a sizable minority of welfare recipients.
Matt Winters Based on what? If anything, we expect the number of food stamp users to increase just based on the increasing number of citizens. Never mind the decline in jobs that are available to support oneself (and one's children) with just a high school diploma. Never mind the number of corporate mergers that have occurred over the years, mergers that led to a declining number of support positions (I.e. two banks need two accounting firms, two headquarters buildings with two building managers and cleaning firms, two bank examiners,, etc. where as one bank may only need one of each).
Tewdy Quew 40% of the food in the USA is wasted. Just saying. We overproduce basic needs, it's irrational to put a price on something so easy to produce (less than 2% of the population produce food).
I'm conservative, I'm a Afghanistan War veteran, I'm a full time student whose also applied to jobs around town during the semesters and during the summer, I'm an engineering major, and I'm using my GI Bill, but after paying my rent and bills each month, I have $32, usually depending on the electric bill, for food each month. If this woman was behind me at Walmart when I pulled out my EBT card, I honestly don't know that I'd be able to stop myself from hitting her in the face. What has that woman ever done for the country? Pay some measly taxes but probably doesn't even care enough to confront state representatives using tax payer money to eat at lavish restaurants for themselves and their whole family. I've done and am doing too much to not eat for the last week of each month while waiting for that next BAH stipend. I'll be damned if some fat woman tries to make me or anyone that's just trying to survive feel shame for needing some help.
No its not. He is healthy young man he can work on three jobs if is eager to but no he prefers so called free stuff not even realizing that it comes from tax payers.
You're asking me if it is, MonkeyShaman? I don 't know the answer to your question. However, thanks for at least making _some_ sense now by finishing your thought somewhat now.
Well, MonkeyShaman , neither of what you just said makes sense, because: 1. a question mark should _only_ be used for an inflection if the sentence it ends really _is_ a question, and... 2. that kind of inflection _doesn't_ actually show that anything it's used on is obvious, and... 3. it actually _wasn't_ obvious, because... 4. it wasn't even a complete thought to begin with. But like I said, at least thanks for completing your thought to some degree now even though it ended with the wrong punctuation. Thank goodness we have the ability here to edit our old replies -- even with a phone -- so you can fix that error. (And hint: it'd take less effort in keypresses to just do it than it would to type out some lame excuse for not wanting to!)
+TheLifemission you forget that some get useless degrees and can't land a decent job thanks to their poor research on the job market, all the classes they were taking was easy for them to pass.
So this guy is affecting her income? But the giant corporations who get to dodge millions of dollars in taxes doesn't? I wish people would educate themselves and fight the real enemy.
We give big corporations huge tax cuts and subsidies, but this woman's life is miserable because two bucks of the taxes she pays goes to help feed people. Someone has their priorities mixed up.
@@unknownwolf4046 I'm sorry that these judgemental & hypocritical assholes respond to you in such petty ignorance.......and you deserve so much better!!!!!!😞💔 Know that you're not alone, in that so many of us are struggling in similar situations. 🙏💓🌹💓🙏
Anyone who has a problem with Social Security should renounce their benefits and never collect a cent from the government once they retire. Put your money where your rhetoric is.
I totally agree! These ppl with negative comments are I uninformed. According to SSI I paired $159, 247.00 into MY SS from 34 years working. Here is the link to check how much you paid in..www.ssa.gov/myaccount/materials.html Be safe.
What I was thinking when I watched this is what if that man had served in the military before? Lots of members of the military need assistance of some kind when they arrive home
+Cole O'Driscoll yeah thats what happened to me - I had just explained it via my comment when I scrolled down & saw yours. And even aside from that, there are just so, so many reasons why its idiotic to think that anybody could just walk into an office & request food stamps for any old reason & then get them.
So what if he served in the military? Oh sorry he voluntarily go to another country and bomb hospitals and destroy people's livelihood. Doesn't give him an excuse to sit around and live of food stamps. There are people who've been through worse who are working and not just living off tax payers money.
Cole O'Driscoll - So, let me get this straight, the government mandated that your father be terminated in order for a minority to be hired? Is that the lie he told you?
I love how all the poor people tell other poor people to not use Food Stamps. That Lady needs to mind her own business, she is lucky that guy did not punch her out.
+Lily Pod Ever heard the saying sticks and stones may break my bones buts words can never hurt me? Your need for violence is scary, you should really seek out help.
marshallbs She didn't want anyone to starve, she wanted people to be responsible adults and not have children they can't afford or to get a job that allows them to support the children they conceived.
***** Was she over the top? yes but like i said sticks and stones. Words are just that words. I would like to think that this family is doing everything possible to try and provide for their family, but in honesty if you can't afford food perhaps they shouldn't of had kids yet. Now there are deeper problems at play here with how corporations have been buying off politicians and creating the crap shoot we currently are in. I myself by not having kids am able to work any hours necessary to get the promotions in which i got to make more money.
I used food stamps for a little bit when I was younger and now I make 6 figures. Sometimes you just need a little help until you can get back on your feet.
Zach Attack what's 6 figures? so cuz u rich u think u better than us? I make 300 a month and I get 1000 in food stamps and I sell them 300 disability and 1000 plus I work in construction and make 1400 weekly.. haha my disability is bipolar syndrome. I think I'm living large and I don't pay taxes muahahaha I live the American dream
i'll be if he was wearing a dress shirt and tie, she wouldn't have said a thing. i can't tell you how many sneers I have gotten wearing a Dying Fetus shirt in public
My Revocation - Ramworm shirt gets similar responses especially considering I live in the deep South. And let's not forget I'm brown-skinned which is even more of an offense in this tiny town.
+Robert You have allies and like minded people in the NE man. If you need to get out of the Deep South, you know where to find us. All people welcome. But a brown man that loves a band that fuckin shreds? Most welcome!
This kind of mentality (poor blaming poorer) had early beginnings in American slavery. Rich slaveowners were able to convince poor white farmers to hate black slaves, even though both were being screwed by the economy set in place by those rich slaveowners. The area managed to convince these poor white farmers to die fighting for the system that screwed them. The fact that this mentality has lasted to today is really sad.
+Cherrie No white person has ever had to be "convinced" to hate Black people. Hating black people and marginalizing them is the single common denominator all white people share. Regardless of economic, class, or social status. Not even poor whites are willing to give that up.
+Cherrie Getison yes your totally right but its always been like that in the entire history of all humanity its not an american thing, stop thinking that america is and was always the center of the world. poor people, sick people and beggars were loathe by people of all civilization throughout history. its a human thing, its sad but its much better now then it was. there is definitely rooms for improvement thats for sure. sorry for my bad english.
Cherrie Getison ya i guess i misunderstood and i totally agree with you thats how it is most people dont get it but there always and always will be people who understand that.
+Stephaine Madrid Your off-hand racism is strange. White people are heartless? Funny, because I'm disabled and work with disabled people, including many with mental health issues - and the least receptive and tolerant with bad attitudes towards those with mental health issues and disabilities are Asians and black people. White people are on average only slightly less shitty about this, but there's a noticeable dip in tolerance in ethnic communities.
+Sam Frieder, PhD She was only upset because it was a man using food stamps I seriously doubt if it were a woman she would have commented ad it is common place
Well he was also kind of young which does make you wonder but again everyone's story is different so I like to give everyone benefit of the doubt. But does it look unusual to have young healthy looking man use food stamps? Yes it does.
One can have a job and still need food stamps, especially if one has a child. As others on this page have pointed out, a huge proportion of Walmart workers receive them, so it is quite possible that the checker that was about to serve them does as well. Either way, the woman accosting him had no right to treat him like that.
I commend the Wal-Mart cashier for not yelling at the woman even though they're probably on food stamps too. In my opinon, everyone should work as a cashier at some point. Until I worked at Wal-Mart I had no idea not only just how many people are on food stamps, but how many working people are on food stamps, and not just my coworkers, but workers all over town, from other stores, small businesses, even a fair number of factory workers.
wages are so low, hardly anyone can afford to live just off their income anymore, food stamp programs are almost a supplemental assistance at this point rather than just those without an incone.
I would have kicked her out. If she started it, the employees can call AP and management and tell them that this customer is harassing another customer.
+chukman102 you can't really do that. you obviously haven't worked in retail. if she stood there and said "make me", you're breaking the law after that point no matter how you handle it
My dad killed himself working 80+ hours a week to provide for me and my brother as kids. And yes, he used food stamps. Even working two full time jobs plus a weekend job he needed them. He got hurt on one of the jobs years ago and couldn't work anymore. Through complications of the injury he died 5 years ago. He busted his ass and was embarrassed to use food stamps because of the looks he would get. People like that woman in the video are the problem with this country. Not the lower-middle - lower class.
I saw a Latino American man berated by a female African American cashier for using food stamps. When he took the matter to the Korean store owner, the Korean store owner backed her up by telling him that he was getting food there for free because he was using food stamps.
She is demeaning him in front of all the other customers and other employees in the store as well. Under that kind of pressure, some people lose it and attack the person who is doing the demeaning,.
Sanders/ Warren 2016 father, mother, black, white, doesn't matter, while we don't know their full financial situation, it seems like the woman just automatically lost her shit and started yelling at him over it when he is getting stuff from a store with his kid, EBT most likely helps to feed him and his child. yet there she is making a scene and irritating him while probably scaring the kid and just being an annoying female rush Limbaugh. it's as dumb as those people who'd yell at single mothers for not being married and considering their children "bastards" (the old definition, an insult for fatherless/ from parents unwed)
DanteAtomosKageokami And yet, people in the comments are defending her because the guy was apparently "immoral" for arguing with her, calling her out of her name, and cussing. And also because he was setting a bad example for his child, when yet the woman was the one doing the most damage.
DanteAtomosKageokami Exactly. And that was very childish of her. Let's just say that the REAL adult in this situation was the toddler! He did what you're supposed to try and do when an asswipe tries to give you any trouble -- you IGNORE THEM! 😀
ANYONE who shops at Walmart for ANY reason whatsoever, has no right to complain about anyone else using foodstamps at any time in any place for any reason.
That woman should mind her own business. It's not easy for people to get food stamps + they have to check in with Social Services to maintain. She doesn't know his situation. Not everyone has it made.
My mom, as a single mother of 2 (3 for a few years), worked 3-4 jobs for 8 years straight. She didn't even take sick days when she was sick, because her boss for her mon-fri 9-5 job didn't give her paid sick days. She was a great, hard worker, but we still barely made enough money to get by. A couple years ago, the boss for her main job fired her, and she was so tired from all of the bs he put her through (it was a lot, I'm not going to list it all) that she refused to work under another boss. She started up her own business out of our home, and has been getting clients and work, but we're still not making enough. She had to start borrowing from my lifetime college savings account (it had around $2k, and is now empty) just to pay the bills. We've had food stamps for the past couple years, and they keep us alive. My mom has never been a lazy bum, just taking advantage of government assistance, so when I see people like the lady in this video clip, I get so angry.
Damn, I feel bad for you. You should start a go-fund- me. It's basically like an online charity where people can donate money to you for pretty much anything. I would strongly suggest this, best of luck to you.
+Spectra Phantom thank you! Luckily I'm going to get financial aid to get me through college, and once I graduate high school I'm getting a job to help out with bills. If I tried starting a go-fund-me page for my mom she wouldn't let me, or she would just give me the money for college. My mom is one of the strongest people I know and I'm lucky to have her. My dad owes over $60k in child support, so I don't even know how my mom manages, but I'm forever thankful she does
Some immigrants from the Dominiquen Republic and Honduras, feel anger when they see some Americans enjoying Social Security benefits. You see, in their countries you either work or die on the street.
Yes exactly. That's why a lot of people think it might be staged. Most republicans are poor as dirt and on welfare. It's the upper and middle class that's mostly liberal. Why do you think colleges are so liberal? Because those are the people who can afford to send their kids to get that education. Also I want to be clear I am not defending what the woman in the video said. But here they are acting like she represents a political party. How do they even know what political party she belongs to if any?
+mechasentai False. Many people cannot afford to send their kids to college but do anyway. There is such a thing as student debt and student loans. Also, the comment makes no mention this particular woman's political party. It literally could just be a comment about something he observed lol it could have been about the man she is yelling at lol
+MC-Disent right? I forgot about the guy commenting about tax breaks. I complain because they get these breaks, yet can't pay their employees enough for a decent way of living; allwhile said employees do pay taxes along with other people so the money gets sent back to them anyway. The rich get richer, and the poor become more poor.
This happened to me 30 years ago. I had just finished two years schooling to be an aircraft mechanic. There were no jobs in the area as Boeing had just laid off thousands of workers. I had food stamps and this cashier started giving me a hard time. I loudly ( so everyone could hear me) proclaimed: " I WANT YOUR JOB " She sure shut her mouth in a hurry when the manager scurried over to apologize . I honestly hope that she lost her job that day.
"That Lady" is my sister-in-law, pretty much; a child of wealth, married to a millionaire who has never worried about the cost of anything and is utterly convinced by Faux News and her insular circle of like-minded Facebook friends that all of our problems stem from "those people" who aren't "real Americans", specifically immigrants, blacks and the poor. Bless her heart.
Mojo Bone oye I am sorry she seems to be so heartless, even if I where married to someone with more wealth I personally don't go around yelling at people. I am certain her parents didn't raise her to be so rude. It's not lady like.
She's not heartless, it's just that she's misinformed, and her sympathies are misplaced; she's actually too well-bred to go around yelling at strangers in box stores, it's just that her opinions are exactly the same as the woman in the video.
circumstances change. the lady has no place to talk. I was on food stamps for 3 years. i was happy when I was able to get off of them. now I have a business with 20 employees. who knows...I could be working for one of them someday. people's circumstances fluctuate all the time.
Great job 👍🏽 if it hadn't been for those food stamps you wouldn't have been able to get out of that patch in your life and fulfill your potential. That's what ppl like her don't see, ppl are so capable and have so much potential, they deserve to be invested in. Why not provide food so they're not only working to feed themselves, so they're able to spend the little money they have on getting their kids school supplies or working on a hobby that can help them build skills for the future? If it weren't for these programs, the cycle of hunger would never end, it's like they want ppl to die for being poor. I can't think of many things more inhumane than that.
+Steven Kendall Would I be right in thinking your employees are far better cared for than Walmart's? As is usually the case with small independent businesses.
I am disabled and I receive food stamps. My sister works about 40-50 hours a week as an assistant manager at a chain store (not Walmart). Her boyfriend is disabled and can't work, but receives social security. He also takes care of their 2 boys to avoid the expense of childcare. She still needs food stamps to have enough money to feed her kids every month. None of us are lazy, in fact I am working toward a degree so I can go back to work.
Thank you. Smart people. I raised my daughter on food stamps. I had just got out of the military. Trust me I would have went to jail if that happened to me. I have a job now and I make sure I give back and never JUDGE.
if i was that cashier i would ask her to leave, she is being disruptive. It is not a free county to say whatever you want to whoever you want whenever there is something called harassment .
+ghanboy No she wasn't, she was behind him in line. If she would've been an employee, she would've worn a blue vest. Plus, you can see the cashier in the video. She was just some uppity bitch that couldn't mind her own business.
It's no ones business how this guy paid for his food to feed his family and himself. I'm so happy that I rarely go to Walmart (and it's been at least 2 years since I've stepped foot in one, maybe more). The woman in line should be ashamed of herself! Though I shouldn't wish bad on others, I can't help but wish for her to have to go on food stamps and be in line in front of this guy next time. I guess she doesn't care if people go hungry.
no the idiot who had food stamps should be ashamed of his own self, why should hard working taxpayers pay for other people stuff, get a dadgum job and help yourself,
If I was the assistant I would have had her removed from the store. You can't have people insulting your customers, especially when food stamps keep Walmart in business, that's a no no.
+HourlySum Well of course you're a SJW loser. We wouldn't expect any less from you. You millennial's don't know what it means to take personal responsibility for yourselves.
Why do people even feel it's their business? Frankly, if you have an issue with politics hold your politician's feet to the fire. Verbally attacking a stranger makes you the problem, not the person you are attacking.
There are some people in this world that, unfortunately, can't afford things like others can... My grandparents have to be on EBT, otherwise they wouldn't be able to eat. Their paychecks go towards the bills. Once the bills are paid there's nothing left. Everything's so expensive nowadays.
There are some people who abuse food stamps, Walmart is the biggest abuser of all. I grew up with a mother who received food stamps, because she was poor, had no vehicle, and had jobs that did not pay enough. Sometimes we had nothing. Some nights we did not eat. A lot of times, we had to eat at soup kitchens. It really wasn't her fault but now that she is older, she doesn't work and still collects food stamps in order to survive. This location charges A LOT for rent and what you get in return is an apartment that shouldn't even be allowed to be rented. I do my best to help and to make life comfortable for my parents but I, my self, only make so much money and I am unable to do as much as I want to do.
respect for the guy for holding back to how angry he could've gotten.Also, i love this ch so much. it captures exactly what opinion i have on matters such as this.
Like he said, take it up with your congressman. Don't berate a father in front of his kids, especially when your no NOTHING about what his circumstances might be. Yes, there are lots of EBT cheats/thieves, but that does not mean everyone is taking advantage.
I couldn't stand by and see someone treated like that it's disgraceful. Firstly if you don't like something about the country your living in write/petition/march on local govement about it ,but DON'T call someone out in front of there children and your kids for buying FOOD with foodstamps there didn't look anything in that trolley that was "luxury" or what people would describe as "luxury" anyway. I'd much rather know there maybe some fools using the system but the rest are feeding there families with the money rather then thinking of heaven knows how many children going to bed hungry. Also this women speaks of how she is educated, people lose there jobs, ANYONE can fall ill believe me I know, If it wasn't for my elderly parents i dread to think how much help i would be asking for , because at 30years old ,not a drinker,not a smoker, never taken drugs in my life i never thought i would suffer three TIA's and then a stroke ,being left paralised and triggering auto immune diseases..So maybe this women needs to step down from her ivory tower because sadly that could be one of her children or even herself standing in that guys place.
+MGTOW KANE You should go your own way and leave others alone while doing that. Nobody cares either way. Whine some more about women or something, we don't care. Enjoy your hand.
I think the worst part about this video is the example that lady is setting for her son. She's teaching her son its okay to belittle and embarrass people who are using assistance.
This lady doesn't know what this man's circumstances are, would she rather his kid go hungry? what an ignorant woman.
I want to know. I want to call out bums but I need to know they are bums for real first.
+darkcoeficient That is the way to do it. Get your facts first, then go after someone who is abusing the system. No someone you know nothing about.
+BIG LOU Everyone apparently has incredibly busy lives but just enough time to stop and scrutinize random people.
+BIG LOU Yes, she would rather that guy's kid go hungry.

HOW DARE THAT MAN TRY TO BUY TOILET PAPER AND FOOD FOR HIS CHILD!!!
Shilo Englert
Just for the record, (unfortunately I'm an expert), you can not pay for toilet paper with food stamps. It isn't food. LOL

Some farmers markets now give you twice the amount of fruits and vegetables as the stores if you're using food stamps. Actually, an e.b.t. card, electronic balance transfer card. Like a debit card, far less embarrassing than the actual stamps were.
No tobacco products whatsoever, no liquor of any sort, no accessory products or paper products, t.p. as previously mentioned, foil, baggies, diapers (for babies or the elderly). All those things and more must come out of the famous "fixed income of S.S.Disability".
Didn't mean to bore you, I just overflow as the font of useless trivia.
sarcasm waz a nice touch
Barbara he's not saying that he bought toilet paper with food stamps, he's just making a point that all he's doing is providing for his child.
Maybe he should have put a sock on it instead of have kids if he didn't have a job....Oh wait.....that would be responsible....sorry dumb me.
You can't buy toilet paper on ebt, just food
even if they stopped food stamps. ..the government would still take that money in taxes.
Thank you!
+gotskinn They would still take it but it would be used for more important things. 30% of all US debt is owed to its self because it cost more to run the country then they government gets. So if they stopped food stamps money would be used to improve roads and other things. I know that some people do need food stamps, but some people are just lazy. I would make new rules about who gets food stamps.
+gotskinn Or able body adults should not be allowed food stamps, but people who are sick and can not work get food stamps.
+Vexa more important things improve roads? lmao what crack are you smoking you complete dumb ass if you think they would do that with that money. What did Wall Street do with all the extra money we have them?
+Vexa oh bullishit. all the congressman would get a raise and kids would be hungry.
At least he is using his benefits right and not selling them for crack. She was so wrong.
@Jerry Dalrymple i hope you know that most people who get food stamps and such don't use it for drugs.
Same I'm using mine right I buy Groceries all the time save money on my SSI
The status quo’s agenda worked: the poor have learned to loathe the even poorer.
it's kinda their fault.
Honestly, why doesn't that guy has a job. Is he handicapped somehow?
+darkcoeficient you don't know he doesn't have a job, I work full time and am still eligible for food stamps because I don't make enough to pay for my rent, utilities, food for 3, etc. many people on food stamps work but need the supplemental assistance because the waves are so low.
+darkcoeficient this video is a direct response to the question your asking so I must call you ignorant food stamps does not equal unemployed
+darkcoeficient Who said he isn't working?
darkcoeficient An economy should not allow room for plunder (exploitation) or parasitism. However, unless you correct both, you correct neither. And the crazy thing is the Walden family are some of the more exploitative employers in existence. And they’re going to be the harder to correct than the food stamp people, as they’re the ones with the money to lobby legislators and buy candidates. The guy with the food stamps isn’t buying any candidates. He’s got enough to keep his family alive and that’s it. 47 million other Americans are in the same boat as him-this, whether they have jobs or not. They simply have no free capital to assemble a team of Jack Abramoffs and to begin bankrolling candidates through superPACs. I don’t know if that answers your question, but it is why I wrote what I did in my comment.

worse the system is designed to keep you on them. if you make an extra dollar so you can start catching up they cut them.
logan7699 omg tell me about it. My boss was told she would be cut off stamps for pulling overtime. This woman worked so hard. Her husband died, and then she would have to worry about food.. I was like that's a darn shame. Wonderful woman...
logan7699 Absolutely correct, I was forced to raise 2 children as a single mother. They don't want you to pull yourself up. They need you dependent.

I'm used to this, about once a month someone will tell me to get a job while I'm checking out at the grocery store. I've found that my reply of "oh, you're going to donate your kidney to me so I can go back to work?" usually shuts them up.
U-scans have become my best friends while grocery shopping
When I was on food stamps, I loved them. I would just hold my head up like I had a debit card like everyone else. Did a lot of acting in those days.
+meg arbo but it's so sad that we have to act... I work my ass off at my job and I need the assistance for my son and I and just because I need the help does not make me less than....
No one said you were "less than". How you see yourself is up to you. Most people on assistance work.

There are a lot of people who do work and receive foodstamps. it allows them to NOT be homeless and able to eat.
there was a point that I needed them, and after I paid rent and other bills I barely had money for food so food stamps did help
I'm so so sick of heartless republicans blaming democrats for all the free handouts. There are just as many voting republicans on free government assistance as there are democrats!

You are being just as offensive as who you say is offensive. Grow up.
Lindsey Wills-Vertz I am glad that your stamps where able to help you. I work retail to provide for my family, I had a woman who was Caucasian come through my line her head held down ashamed to use the card. She began telling me what happened, I said sweetie, don't hold your head down, do not be ashamed, if this is how you are able to feed your self and family. Be thankful you have something. You owe Noone a explanation as to why you use your card. Be blessed and continue looking forward. She said that is the kindest thing said to her bc her family turned on her. Not "all" humans are trying to "use" the system...
How embarrassing for her children. Why did no one stand up for him.
Claudia Waite because she's right about what she said even if it is inappropriate about how she brought it up.
It's inappropriate, no two ways about it. Right after the 2008 crash, I saw people buying groceries with coins. They had no cash. Some nervously waited to see their bill total, some did not have enough money, and tried to put things back. Basics, like eggs, milk, bread, potted meats. I would give them money. Instead of denigrating those who may have fallen on hard times, behave like you're a man who understands that not everyone has as much as you do. Be kind. Be considerate. Don't judge. For those who have kids and may have been laid off their job, keeping a roof over their heads is paramount. When it comes to feeding their kids, I know A LOT of poor parents who will go hungry so their kids can have more. They shop at thrift stores, wear hand-me-down clothing, shoes that are so worn, they have holes in them. There is absolutely NOTHING RIGHT about shaming someone in public because they are on some sort of public assistance. This woman ought to be ashamed of her own behavior, but some of you out there listen to too much Fox News, and somehow have gotten the idea that YOU have the right to disrespect others in this manner. Shame on you. GROW UP.
so true the 08 crash did several things I observed. 1, piggy bank money, the chalky smell from the piggy bank stinks up money. 2, Many old bills started popping up, I got quite a few 1960s bills people obviously had to use, even silver coins made it into my change.

***** true . there has to be a limit to what a budget can handle for any thing it is funding . there is no such thing as unlimited credit unless you are going to war . imagine iF we increased the budget for food stamps to the point where all we produced was food . that would be terrible for the economy . unlimited funding for food this requires a lot of imagination .

+jerry chicks You can't even get foodstamps here if you aren't working or disabled.

That woman is DEPLORABLE.
I'm from the EU and I don't understand why american people hate poor people so much instead of being collaborative and solidary...
We do not hate poor people...we dislike people that are free riding the government because it costs us money in taxes. If someone needs foodstamps and what not, then it is okay. This man is a free loader, it is irritating to see a lazy free loader piggy back off your paycheck to purchase a rather full basket of food...like Kix cereal, as can be seen. This video is completely liberal media crap that is staged against Republicans.
Unfortunately most people have it in their head that a sizable minority or even a majority of food stamp users are these lazy welfare queens that sit on their ass all day in a section 8 apartment (housing subsidy), smoking weed, collecting welfare checks, and pop out babies.
Now while those people exists, it hasn't been proven that they are a majority or even a sizable minority of welfare recipients.
+Mustang424 In this day and age there should be less foodstamp users, not more.
Matt Winters Based on what? If anything, we expect the number of food stamp users to increase just based on the increasing number of citizens. Never mind the decline in jobs that are available to support oneself (and one's children) with just a high school diploma. Never mind the number of corporate mergers that have occurred over the years, mergers that led to a declining number of support positions (I.e. two banks need two accounting firms, two headquarters buildings with two building managers and cleaning firms, two bank examiners,, etc. where as one bank may only need one of each).
Tewdy Quew 40% of the food in the USA is wasted. Just saying. We overproduce basic needs, it's irrational to put a price on something so easy to produce (less than 2% of the population produce food).
She's definitely a Trump supporter. I'm surprised she wasn't riding around Wal-Mart on a motorized scooter.
But she would be depending on a social system! We can't have that...
She probably will be in a few years since she's never said no to any food except for fruits and veggies.

If this woman was behind me at Walmart when I pulled out my EBT card, I honestly don't know that I'd be able to stop myself from hitting her in the face.
What has that woman ever done for the country? Pay some measly taxes but probably doesn't even care enough to confront state representatives using tax payer money to eat at lavish restaurants for themselves and their whole family.
I've done and am doing too much to not eat for the last week of each month while waiting for that next BAH stipend. I'll be damned if some fat woman tries to make me or anyone that's just trying to survive feel shame for needing some help.

You're asking me if it is, MonkeyShaman? I don 't know the answer to your question. However, thanks for at least making _some_ sense now by finishing your thought somewhat now.
Maxx Fordham I think I was trying to achieve inflection by appending signage. It was a statement reflecting the obvious nature of the answer. :P
Well, MonkeyShaman , neither of what you just said makes sense, because:
1. a question mark should _only_ be used for an inflection if the sentence it ends really _is_ a question, and...
2. that kind of inflection _doesn't_ actually show that anything it's used on is obvious, and...
3. it actually _wasn't_ obvious, because...
4. it wasn't even a complete thought to begin with.
But like I said, at least thanks for completing your thought to some degree now even though it ended with the wrong punctuation. Thank goodness we have the ability here to edit our old replies -- even with a phone -- so you can fix that error.
(And hint: it'd take less effort in keypresses to just do it than it would to type out some lame excuse for not wanting to!)

I would like to think that this family is doing everything possible to try and provide for their family, but in honesty if you can't afford food perhaps they shouldn't of had kids yet. Now there are deeper problems at play here with how corporations have been buying off politicians and creating the crap shoot we currently are in. I myself by not having kids am able to work any hours necessary to get the promotions in which i got to make more money.
I used food stamps for a little bit when I was younger and now I make 6 figures. Sometimes you just need a little help until you can get back on your feet.

This kind of mentality (poor blaming poorer) had early beginnings in American slavery. Rich slaveowners were able to convince poor white farmers to hate black slaves, even though both were being screwed by the economy set in place by those rich slaveowners. The area managed to convince these poor white farmers to die fighting for the system that screwed them. The fact that this mentality has lasted to today is really sad.
right on.
It had it's beginning in the genesis of human existence not proto-colonial America. Cheers.
+Cherrie No white person has ever had to be "convinced" to hate Black people. Hating black people and marginalizing them is the single common denominator all white people share. Regardless of economic, class, or social status. Not even poor whites are willing to give that up.
+Cherrie Getison yes your totally right but its always been like that in the entire history of all humanity its not an american thing, stop thinking that america is and was always the center of the world. poor people, sick people and beggars were loathe by people of all civilization throughout history. its a human thing, its sad but its much better now then it was. there is definitely rooms for improvement thats for sure.

Well he was also kind of young which does make you wonder but again everyone's story is different so I like to give everyone benefit of the doubt. But does it look unusual to have young healthy looking man use food stamps? Yes it does.
One can have a job and still need food stamps, especially if one has a child. As others on this page have pointed out, a huge proportion of Walmart workers receive them, so it is quite possible that the checker that was about to serve them does as well.
Either way, the woman accosting him had no right to treat him like that.
LPWatterson lmao
I commend the Wal-Mart cashier for not yelling at the woman even though they're probably on food stamps too. In my opinon, everyone should work as a cashier at some point. Until I worked at Wal-Mart I had no idea not only just how many people are on food stamps, but how many working people are on food stamps, and not just my coworkers, but workers all over town, from other stores, small businesses, even a fair number of factory workers.
wages are so low, hardly anyone can afford to live just off their income anymore, food stamp programs are almost a supplemental assistance at this point rather than just those without an incone.
I would have kicked her out. If she started it, the employees can call AP and management and tell them that this customer is harassing another customer.
Yep. Practically everyone in my town is on welfare.
+chukman102 you can't really do that. you obviously haven't worked in retail. if she stood there and said "make me", you're breaking the law after that point no matter how you handle it
Except the homeless people. They pay cash and rarely have enough to buy anything.
Is that not against company policy harassing customers like that?
+Zackery Birtkowski They should have kicked her fat arse out of the place.
+Zackery Birtkowski Yes actually.
+Zackery Birtkowski the lady was a customer, not an employee. She was the next customer in line.
Thank you for paying attention unlike so many others here.
The individual in question was a customer, not an employee.
My dad killed himself working 80+ hours a week to provide for me and my brother as kids. And yes, he used food stamps. Even working two full time jobs plus a weekend job he needed them. He got hurt on one of the jobs years ago and couldn't work anymore. Through complications of the injury he died 5 years ago. He busted his ass and was embarrassed to use food stamps because of the looks he would get. People like that woman in the video are the problem with this country. Not the lower-middle - lower class.
That woman giving somebody shit for food stamps is so rude. It's none of her business how he pays for food especially in front of children.
Gomez Perez.......exactly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😞
I saw a Latino American man berated by a female African American cashier for using food stamps. When he took the matter to the Korean store owner, the Korean store owner backed her up by telling him that he was getting food there for free because he was using food stamps.
It's sad that people believe being poor is a crime.
Trying to demean that man in front of his child is foul-just vile.
cja Sewell.....yeah.....typical entitled bitch!!!!!!!!!!!😞
She is demeaning him in front of all the other customers and other employees in the store as well. Under that kind of pressure, some people lose it and attack the person who is doing the demeaning,.
The irony being that this is at Walmart, which is often cited for the large number of employees it has on public assistance.
She's just one hospital visit away from taking social security out of his pocket .....
The food in Wal-Mart is so high now, that I wish I had food stamps my damn self.
if the recipient is driving a Ferrari or Bugatti or bat mobile then complain about them using food stamps.

Amen!
+DanteAtomosKageokami this time is a white father not the usual stereotype.
Sanders/ Warren 2016
father, mother, black, white, doesn't matter, while we don't know their full financial situation, it seems like the woman just automatically lost her shit and started yelling at him over it when he is getting stuff from a store with his kid, EBT most likely helps to feed him and his child.
yet there she is making a scene and irritating him while probably scaring the kid and just being an annoying female rush Limbaugh.
it's as dumb as those people who'd yell at single mothers for not being married and considering their children "bastards" (the old definition, an insult for fatherless/ from parents unwed)
DanteAtomosKageokami And yet, people in the comments are defending her because the guy was apparently "immoral" for arguing with her, calling her out of her name, and cussing. And also because he was setting a bad example for his child, when yet the woman was the one doing the most damage.
DanteAtomosKageokami Exactly. And that was very childish of her. Let's just say that the REAL adult in this situation was the toddler! He did what you're supposed to try and do when an asswipe tries to give you any trouble -- you IGNORE THEM! 😀
I feel sorry for little boy sitting in the cart. I know he's feeling embarrassed and is trying not to show it.
ANYONE who shops at Walmart for ANY reason whatsoever, has no right to complain about anyone else using foodstamps at any time in any place for any reason.
If you’re not buying their stuff you shouldn’t say anything
That woman should mind her own business. It's not easy for people to get food stamps + they have to check in with Social Services to maintain. She doesn't know his situation. Not everyone has it made.
Actually it's incredibly easy to get food stamps. You don't even need a social security number.
Yes you do. And if you weren't asked for it, then you got SNAP illegally.
My mom, as a single mother of 2 (3 for a few years), worked 3-4 jobs for 8 years straight. She didn't even take sick days when she was sick, because her boss for her mon-fri 9-5 job didn't give her paid sick days. She was a great, hard worker, but we still barely made enough money to get by.
A couple years ago, the boss for her main job fired her, and she was so tired from all of the bs he put her through (it was a lot, I'm not going to list it all) that she refused to work under another boss. She started up her own business out of our home, and has been getting clients and work, but we're still not making enough.
She had to start borrowing from my lifetime college savings account (it had around $2k, and is now empty) just to pay the bills.
We've had food stamps for the past couple years, and they keep us alive.
My mom has never been a lazy bum, just taking advantage of government assistance, so when I see people like the lady in this video clip, I get so angry.
Damn, I feel bad for you. You should start a go-fund- me. It's basically like an online charity where people can donate money to you for pretty much anything. I would strongly suggest this, best of luck to you.
+Spectra Phantom thank you! Luckily I'm going to get financial aid to get me through college, and once I graduate high school I'm getting a job to help out with bills. If I tried starting a go-fund-me page for my mom she wouldn't let me, or she would just give me the money for college. My mom is one of the strongest people I know and I'm lucky to have her. My dad owes over $60k in child support, so I don't even know how my mom manages, but I'm forever thankful she does
+Jenny Swaggenberry all the best to you & your family
Some immigrants from the Dominiquen Republic and Honduras, feel anger when they see some Americans enjoying Social Security benefits. You see, in their countries you either work or die on the street.
Girl, get a grip. You're shopping at Walmart too
when "its a free country" takes place of moral decency and compassion....
Some of the poorest people I know are die hard republicans.
+John O'Neill and I am assuming they pay income taxes
Yes exactly. That's why a lot of people think it might be staged. Most republicans are poor as dirt and on welfare. It's the upper and middle class that's mostly liberal. Why do you think colleges are so liberal? Because those are the people who can afford to send their kids to get that education.
Also I want to be clear I am not defending what the woman in the video said. But here they are acting like she represents a political party. How do they even know what political party she belongs to if any?
+mechasentai False. Many people cannot afford to send their kids to college but do anyway. There is such a thing as student debt and student loans.
Also, the comment makes no mention this particular woman's political party. It literally could just be a comment about something he observed lol it could have been about the man she is yelling at lol
+John O'Neill It's almost as if some people have opinions.
pff. this isn't even much of their money. it's goes more to corporations and war.
would you rather your money go to helping people, or pointless war?
Exactly!
lmao then you go and complaint that companies get tax break. IT'S public money
+MC-Disent
I heard a notification, I was prepared to go into a debate and you weren't one of them thank you, sir. omfg.
+MC-Disent
right?
I forgot about the guy commenting about tax breaks.
I complain because they get these breaks, yet can't pay their employees enough for a decent way of living; allwhile said employees do pay taxes along with other people so the money gets sent back to them anyway.
The rich get richer, and the poor become more poor.
"Helping people" become slaves.
I'd rather they earn it, stop wasting money on wars and we just don't need to tax as much in general.
how dare she!? well a bug went up her but and she was taking her frustrations out on someone by humiliating him, what a bully
I only pay 20k a year in taxes but I hope it all went to the poor
I wish it did. it goes to Corporate tax breaks.
+joshua garner 60% went to the military... don't worry about it
+joshua garner You provided money for guns and CIA secret projects.
Wow, no it went $3 screws and ship building contracts for the military
+joshua garner 2k to help the needy at home, 3k to bomb them abroad.
This happened to me 30 years ago. I had just finished two years schooling to be an aircraft mechanic. There were no jobs in the area as Boeing had just laid off thousands of workers. I had food stamps and this cashier started giving me a hard time. I loudly ( so everyone could hear me) proclaimed:
" I WANT YOUR JOB "
She sure shut her mouth in a hurry when the manager scurried over to apologize . I honestly hope that she lost her job that day.
That woman will almost certainly have to use them at some point - Karma will have some fun with her!!
Tribal Vibes Leather Denise best comment; true shit
"That Lady" is my sister-in-law, pretty much; a child of wealth, married to a millionaire who has never worried about the cost of anything and is utterly convinced by Faux News and her insular circle of like-minded Facebook friends that all of our problems stem from "those people" who aren't "real Americans", specifically immigrants, blacks and the poor. Bless her heart.
Get her wilderness survival training as a "gift".
If her husband is a millionaire, he probably pays little, if no taxes...and WHY is she in Walmart if she is rich?
KATHY WELCH What, you think millionaires can't be cheap or something?
Mojo Bone oye I am sorry she seems to be so heartless, even if I where married to someone with more wealth I personally don't go around yelling at people. I am certain her parents didn't raise her to be so rude. It's not lady like.
She's not heartless, it's just that she's misinformed, and her sympathies are misplaced; she's actually too well-bred to go around yelling at strangers in box stores, it's just that her opinions are exactly the same as the woman in the video.
circumstances change. the lady has no place to talk. I was on food stamps for 3 years. i was happy when I was able to get off of them. now I have a business with 20 employees. who knows...I could be working for one of them someday. people's circumstances fluctuate all the time.
+Steven Kendall On top of that if people think that people are living large on food stamps...they're delusional.
+Steven Kendall wow, so true
Great job 👍🏽 if it hadn't been for those food stamps you wouldn't have been able to get out of that patch in your life and fulfill your potential. That's what ppl like her don't see, ppl are so capable and have so much potential, they deserve to be invested in. Why not provide food so they're not only working to feed themselves, so they're able to spend the little money they have on getting their kids school supplies or working on a hobby that can help them build skills for the future? If it weren't for these programs, the cycle of hunger would never end, it's like they want ppl to die for being poor. I can't think of many things more inhumane than that.
+Steven Kendall Would I be right in thinking your employees are far better cared for than Walmart's? As is usually the case with small independent businesses.
+Steven Kendall need more bosses like u
I haven't seen the young turks in a long time but this vid really got riled up. way to go Ana.
L.
+Phillips hearers - Can you be more specific, it's not 1984, yet. Oh, wait!
I am disabled and I receive food stamps. My sister works about 40-50 hours a week as an assistant manager at a chain store (not Walmart). Her boyfriend is disabled and can't work, but receives social security. He also takes care of their 2 boys to avoid the expense of childcare. She still needs food stamps to have enough money to feed her kids every month. None of us are lazy, in fact I am working toward a degree so I can go back to work.
That lady is ignorant!!
Thank you. Smart people. I raised my daughter on food stamps. I had just got out of the military. Trust me I would have went to jail if that happened to me. I have a job now and I make sure I give back and never JUDGE.
If she has a problem she needs to address her Congressmen not a father with his kid sitting in front of him.
if i was that cashier i would ask her to leave, she is being disruptive. It is not a free county to say whatever you want to whoever you want whenever there is something called harassment .
Actually, the LADY was the CASHIER. The young man is a customer.
thats awful
+ghanboy No she wasn't, she was behind him in line. If she would've been an employee, she would've worn a blue vest. Plus, you can see the cashier in the video. She was just some uppity bitch that couldn't mind her own business.
+oxyKILLdone oh, I see now! My bad. Nvm.
I can interpret what you have just said as harassment, do you therefore have the right to say it?.
It's no ones business how this guy paid for his food to feed his family and himself. I'm so happy that I rarely go to Walmart (and it's been at least 2 years since I've stepped foot in one, maybe more). The woman in line should be ashamed of herself! Though I shouldn't wish bad on others, I can't help but wish for her to have to go on food stamps and be in line in front of this guy next time. I guess she doesn't care if people go hungry.
no the idiot who had food stamps should be ashamed of his own self, why should hard working taxpayers pay for other people stuff, get a dadgum job and help yourself,
When Ana gets fired up like that and just starts peppering facts and comments...let's just say it fires me up too. You go girl.
+SomeOne1121 No facts and comments, just mindless ranting. Like any true chump supporter.
+Darren OK brah.
+Darren I think you misspelled Drumpf, but it's ok I got you !
If I was the assistant I would have had her removed from the store. You can't have people insulting your customers, especially when food stamps keep Walmart in business, that's a no no.
+Kristina Winter
I agree! She had no right to act like that!
She probably agrees with her.
Judging by her size she hasn't ever faced only having enough money to buy milk OR bread....but not both.
Plus a lotta extra.
That woman should have kept her mouth shut and mind her own goddamn business.
Well how dare that father buy his child(ren) food.
it is a free country but when someone tells you to stop talking to them and you don't, that's called harassment
***** sure you are, sweetheart. Run along back to your retirement home for dementia patients
No its not lol
+Andy Bragg yea it actually is
+Alice Tea lol you're a moron. By the way, dont talk to me anymore.
+Andy Bragg you're clearly the moron. don't comment on my stuff and I won't talk to you
I would've been like, "I'm gonna pay with food stamps, what you gonna do about it"
+HourlySum Well of course you're a SJW loser. We wouldn't expect any less from you. You millennial's don't know what it means to take personal responsibility for yourselves.
I love Ana rants!
Why do people even feel it's their business? Frankly, if you have an issue with politics hold your politician's feet to the fire. Verbally attacking a stranger makes you the problem, not the person you are attacking.
she's not angry about the food stamps, she's pissed that he got the last box of Trix.
Hahaha hahaha hahaha hahaha
Could be or her Oxytocin were wearing off..and she left them at home in her palace
There are some people in this world that, unfortunately, can't afford things like others can... My grandparents have to be on EBT, otherwise they wouldn't be able to eat. Their paychecks go towards the bills. Once the bills are paid there's nothing left. Everything's so expensive nowadays.
There are some people who abuse food stamps, Walmart is the biggest abuser of all. I grew up with a mother who received food stamps, because she was poor, had no vehicle, and had jobs that did not pay enough. Sometimes we had nothing. Some nights we did not eat. A lot of times, we had to eat at soup kitchens. It really wasn't her fault but now that she is older, she doesn't work and still collects food stamps in order to survive. This location charges A LOT for rent and what you get in return is an apartment that shouldn't even be allowed to be rented. I do my best to help and to make life comfortable for my parents but I, my self, only make so much money and I am unable to do as much as I want to do.
Why can't she relocate to a better place that is also cheaper?
why my high school teacher be viral is beyond my understanding.
lmao
lmao
O.o
+Trent Walters Is that your teacher? Whats her name?
***** LOL
respect for the guy for holding back to how angry he could've gotten.Also, i love this ch so much. it captures exactly what opinion i have on matters such as this.
The woman was behaving like a child. She didn't know that man or his situation. She only embarrassed herself by how immature she was acting.
I love when Ana gets fired up, she's articulate and awesome!
food stamps should be digital, like a bank card
+Susan B when my family was on foodstamps thats how it was, it wasnt actual physical stamps
+Susan B It is, its on a visa card lol...
+Susan B They are digital...they are on a debit "like" card.
+erti655 so how would anyone know it is snap benefits?
In a lot of places they are now. I assumed it was like that in every state but I guess not.
In front of his kids? This is so sad... What have we come to?
calm tf down everyone and listen to what this woman has to say - she has a degree!
tongue in cheek, bruh, tongue in cheek.
Uncle Tony lol😁
Like he said, take it up with your congressman.
Don't berate a father in front of his kids, especially when your no NOTHING about what his circumstances might be. Yes, there are lots of EBT cheats/thieves, but that does not mean everyone is taking advantage.
I couldn't stand by and see someone treated like that it's disgraceful.
Firstly if you don't like something about the country your living in write/petition/march on local govement about it ,but DON'T call someone out in front of there children and your kids for buying FOOD with foodstamps there didn't look anything in that trolley that was "luxury" or what people would describe as "luxury" anyway.
I'd much rather know there maybe some fools using the system but the rest are feeding there families with the money rather then thinking of heaven knows how many children going to bed hungry.
Also this women speaks of how she is educated, people lose there jobs, ANYONE can fall ill believe me I know, If it wasn't for my elderly parents i dread to think how much help i would be asking for , because at 30years old ,not a drinker,not a smoker, never taken drugs in my life i never thought i would suffer three TIA's and then a stroke ,being left paralised and triggering auto immune diseases..So maybe this women needs to step down from her ivory tower because sadly that could be one of her children or even herself standing in that guys place.
That poor guy....
lol
He's just trying to feed his family, now he's at the centre of a massive controversy.
+Elizabeth Lingurar if you can't afford to feed your family you should not create until you have the means
+MGTOW KANE You should go your own way and leave others alone while doing that. Nobody cares either way. Whine some more about women or something, we don't care. Enjoy your hand.
CleanClaytonC I would love to if you'd stop with assine taxes and entitlements man child
I think the worst part about this video is the example that lady is setting for her son. She's teaching her son its okay to belittle and embarrass people who are using assistance.
Poor people aren't the problem.
