Here's someone painting me as a Scrooge
Someone who has absolutely no idea as to whether or not I really am a "Scrooge". Someone who missed the entire point by employing the usual straw-man (Scrooge) argument. Someone who thinks government actually helps, opposed to someone (like me) who knows for certain that such government has become harmful in the long run. Someone who advocates reaching into someone else's pocket to help those he deems "needy", opposed to someone like me who advocates reaching into one's own pocket to help others. Someone who apparently believes that his brand of compassion (using government as his strong-arm) trumps mine.
And in the process of supporting his straw-man (Scrooge) argument, he made assertions that may or may not be true, when, in fact, he really has no idea as to how the "real numbers" would fall or what they would reveal.
Show me the breakdown (from a reliable and accurate source) as to the recipients of food stamps, and how much of it is fraudulent, and how much of it is actually unnecessary, and how much of it goes to illegal aliens, etc., lest you leave your made-up assertions at home.
By the way, over the past years, our federal government has been advertising in Mexico telling Mexican citizens how they can get American Food Stamps. My question is this. Why stop at Mexico? Hell, let's advertize all over the world! And then reach into other people's pockets to pay for it!
