What we need to do is get rid of all subsides and taxes. What we need is to give these people JOBS. Cutting taxes and giving job creators the incentive to create jobs so that people don’t need food stamps in the first place is the way to go. Let the free market work. <br /><br />I’m also not buying the idea that an obese person should be getting food stamps. If they’re obese, that means they’ve consumed too much food. Stop spending my tax dollars to make them more obese and increasing medical costs. Have you ever heard of the concept of ‘individual responsibility?’ I know it is a crazy idea, but liberals continue to perpetuate this culture of dependency with their income ‘re-distribution’ nonsense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6673323746979842508.post-12042337650475316102013-11-22T14:29:28.402-08:002013-11-22T14:29:28.402-08:00Right on -- and also some attention to how SNAP is...Right on -- and also some attention to how SNAP is structured, once funds are available, to foster healthier purchases, e.g., see: <br /><br />http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/federal-food-program-pays-billions-for-sugar-sweetened-beverages<br /><br />http://www.yaleruddcenter.org/resources/upload/docs/what/economics/SNAP_SSB_Purchases_AJPM_10.12.pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
