Here I am at the grocery store buying a few things for hamburgers i'll be grilling tonight. I told my kid to get in line with the cart while I went and grabbed something I forgot.

He gets behind some woman and her kids. These damn kids are raising hell throwing candy from the rack intot he car and the woman fighting them off while unloading the cart. Her teenage daughter is too busy yapping like a epileptic chiuaua on crank telling someone to tell someone elese to f-off.

Two of the little punks she bred with the local hoodlums have earrings and rat tails. At this point I was trapped; the other lanes were filled and a nice lady behind me struck up a conversation about the guy getting petitions out front.

The dignity card woman puts all her ice cream, cookies little debbies crap and BONELESS chicken breasts on the conveyer. The clerk gives her a total to which the leech tells her she doesnt have enough on her etb card. I was pissed at this point cause instead of taking the garbage off, she took off the noodles and minute rice instead of the junk food!!

She finally rings up a total in line with her "credit" on the card. They bag her crap and she drags her kids out of the way so they can ring me up. She walked over to the lottery ticket machine and stuck a twenty in there and got a bunch of tickets!!!!!

I told her "it must be nice to get free food and then spend money on lottery tickets" She just shrugged her shoulders and walked off with her future brood of welfarians and gangstas!!

I am so damn pissed

All those that have jobs here and have to deal with ahole bosses and coworkers can rest easy this family is gonna live it up tonight on your "contribution."

I saw a program where a priest was counseling welfare people and trying to help them and he would lightly admonish them for paying for cable TV while on welfare.  "Doesn't your little girl need a new pair of shoes?"

First, don't call it a "dignity card." Call it a damned EBT card, or eve better, a wastrel card. The majority of these parasites are below having any dignity at all, having sunk even below a common street beggar. At least the vagrant trash at offramps doesn't fill out paper, claiming that he is entitled to anything.

Second, you wasted your breath. I hate to say it, but that bitch has her priorities in order, as far as she's concerned. And likely lacks the intelligence to understand your calling her out on it anyway.

Enjoy your hamburger. The rug monkeys she dropped out will enjoy their chicken breast and doritos and potato chips.

And finally, take solace in the fact that while these shits can purchase all the filet and boneless chicken breast that they want, they will never buy a box of deli chicken with the EBT card.

Unemployment Compensation is NOT something for nothing....It is insurance that your employer pays in case you unexpectedly become temporarily unemployed.....It is paid to compensate you during a layoff, or slow period at work.....It was never meant to be a life sustaining income, hence the reason it is a LIMITED benefit, and your employer has to AGREE to let you get it....I have no problem collecting my unemployment bennies when the need arises, but I DO have difficulty going to welfare for a handout....I've only needed unemployment one time in my 20 year work history, and if I go another 20 before I need it again, I'll have no problem collecting it.

When I was a kid my best friend from the block would never let me go to the store with him, he'd always make an excuse or whatever to keep me from walking him to the supermarket when his parents sent him to the store. I remember actually feeling hurt and confused (again, we were young, maybe 10 at the time). One time in particular I insisted on walking him to the supermarket, and he actually ran away from me so I wouldn't be with him at the supermarket. What was the problem??? Was it me???

Nope, it wasn't me.

It didn't occur to my 10 year old mind at the time, but my friend Tommy's family was on welfare and he was being sent to the supermarket with food stamps. Tommy was mortified by this and didn't want me, his friend, to know his family was on welfare.

It's sad that my friend was embarassed by this experience, but IMHO it's necessary to make accepting public assistance a little uncomfortable, otherwise people would become accustomed to sloth.

If Tommy had a credit card instead of food stamps maybe he wouldn't have minded as much, in fact maybe he wouldn't give a fuck at all.

These "people" are the dregs of society!

Back in the mid 1980's I'd had my own business for about 6 years(Last two years of high school + 4 years), but was loosing out on some work/jobs because I didn't have the "Little piece of paper" that said I could do what I'd been doing for the past 6+ years......So, I went back to school to get the "Paper".

Now, understand that I'm still working....Supporting myself & the GF (Wife now) & driving whatever I could afford + paying for school...to get something that said I knew,what I had already been doing as my ONLY employment/source of income.

Early one COLD, dark (Michigan) winter's day. I was driving my VW Wagon (like I said, what I could afford) to "Class" and I was freezing my balls off (air-cooled VWs basically have little -to- no heat in the winter) just trying to get to school. I'm stopped at a light, scraping the inside of the windshield, when one of our local "Poor" pulls up....in her "So new the price-tag is still in the window" Cadillac...COUNTING HER F&#KING FOOD STAMPS!

Let's just say My GF (5-8 miles away), had to have heard My "Bitch-Out" at this pile of human debris!  I drove along side of that bitch for as long as the VW would keep up...........

I hate Leaches....If you want something..Get off your ass and work for it..

I need to stop now....Head throbbing.....Might have burst a blood vessel....

Good on you for giving her a little hell!

The reason for the change from food stamps to the cards. Wasnt dignity it was accountability
The crackheads would sell their stamps for 50 cents on the dollar, Not bad for a family wanting to save with their 50 % off stamps, even better for the Mini marts that would buy them then stock there shelves with the proceeds. Not to mention if you owned a business, redeemed stamps had cash value. How about making 100% on your investment in an hour.

As far as unemployment goes. Ive been unemployed for 3 weeks now. Loos like im going to ahve to take a 6000 a year pay cut if I want to work. Comes out to 60 bucks a week more than im getting on unemployment

Good, let her poison herself.  The sooner she dies the better the world will be.  Her kids I feel for, but they are lost already and that is the tragedy.

If you are on welfare you should work to improve the society that is supporting you until you get a job.  Paint the graffiti, pick up trash or help the elderly.  In America, no able body person should ride for free.

Back in my college days (Ohio State, early 90's), I would be at the South Campus area Krogers.  Invariably, some fat, white-trash beeotch would be in front of me in the check-out line, with her five dirty kids in tow, making noise, being pests.  

Back then, they didn't have "dignity cards", and the leeches would have to hurt their precious self-esteem by using actual food stamp coupons.  However, there was an advantage to this.  They received cash as change, if their food stamps were more than the price of the food.  They would then use the change to make a second purchase:  always cigarettes or lottery tickets.

99% of the time, they would have the conveyor loaded with garbage like microwave pizzas, chips, etc., while I would be  buying 6 / $1 ramen noodles, and $.89 packs of hotdogs (made from the finest chicken beaks and pig assholes).

Also reminds me of the time our corner bum, Matthew almost made me violent.  This guy was nice enough, usually spending his weekend afternoons drinking malt liquor on the corner.  He couldn't technically be classified as a bum, because he was employed by the county Board of Mental Retardation.  However, it was his aspiration to go on disability, claiming mental stress due to his job as a janitor, but that's another story...

Anyway, it was a Saturday, and my buddies and I went bunny hunting outside of Columbus.  It rained like hell, so my gun was soaking wet.  When I got home, I really needed to spray my shotgun down to displace the water.  The only place in our apartment that wasn't carpetted, was the linoleum by the front door.  I spread some newspaper on the floor and was spraying the gun down with WD40, when there was a knock on the door.  I opened the door, shotgun in hand, and there is Matthew.  He nearly shat himself.  When he calmed down, he then said that he had an offer that I could not refuse.  He had food stamps that he would sell me for 50 cents on the dollar, and they worked "just like money" at the store.  I told the fucker that he had better get off my porch and never come back, or he would become more acquainted with the butt end of my Mossy.  Strangly enough, Matthew chose another corner to drink his OE 800 forties, hence forth.

Don't get me started on my campaign to keep panhandlers from begging for money in my presence, while walking to my job as a bouncer.  Those were the days...

I am thinking..

My life would be easier if I was an illegal immigrant.I could quit my job and go apply for subsidized housing.It is a law that when applying for .gov housing,they can't ask to see papers verifying you are in this country legally.

I will change my name(Not legally,just if anyone asks) to Jorge Hernandez.I will also be a deaf mute so I won't be required to speak Spanish.

Then,I will walk around and find a forged social security card being sold by any of the various hoodlums.This will entitle me to more free .gov cheese.

Then I will move to Massachusetts where they have instituted a new law requiring everybody to have health insurance.Since I am a illegal alien repressed by the white man,they won't expect me to have a job.The hard working taxpayers will pick up my slack and pay my way.

Medical coverage objective completed.

Education..Again MA is trying to pass a law giving tuition breaks to illegal aliens.Again,subsidized by the hard working taxpayers.I will take an art class at the community college,then apply for a job at a Fortune 500 company as a vice president of something.The company will have to hire me,I will be an illegal alien deaf mute,they have no choice but to hire me.Most likely they will just create a job for me,because they DO NOT want to offend me or my people.

Then the second someone looks at me funny,I will file a complaint with the HR director.I will claim harrassment because of my heritage and disabilities.I will then hire a Hispanic lawyer from the ACLU and sue for millions.

At this point I will re-assume my original identity,pay off all my debt from the lawsuit and retire in Arizona with lots of machine guns and a hideout.

OK, Here's a thought....
Back when I was a teen, (the early 70's) we had an elderly nieghbor that qualified for food assistance. back then, there were no food stamps. You got "Commodities". Yes, that's right. The Government would give hungry people actual food. I used to take her to town and help her pick up her food. She got a big block of cheese, a block of butter, canned foods, rice, beans, and some other misc. stuff. It was all in USDA government packaging. It was probably better quality stuff than we could buy at the local market.

But now, the .gov bunch pays farmers NOT to grow food.
Instead of using food to feed the hungry, we create a new method for wasteful spending and fraud.
Why are the illegals taking jobs the americans dont want? Because americans don't have to work. they can lay on their lazy asses and draw welfare and food stamps. Why work, when .gov will house and feed you?

Cut out the social freebie programs, and watch the fighting begin for all those jobs that americans will suddenly want. Hunger is a pretty good incentive to get off your ass and work.

When they make me King of this country, I'm gonna fix this shit..
Until then, we're screwed.
