I remember years ago, when I recieved food stamps, I would shop for the whole month, and yeah I had a couple of carts worth of food and yeah people would look at me funny, and think that we were eating great, But in reality, we went hungry alot! And now that Im employed and have been for many many many years, we still go hungry alot. You just really don't know what is going on with individuals , unless of coarse, you know them personally so I try not to judge others on what they are buying, another thing is that when I recieved food stamps they weren't on one of these cards they were actually paper and I would stand in line and give each of the kids 1 dollar to buy a piece of candy so I could use the change for soap or toilet paper. And people thought we were just waisting their tax dollars. Bottom line is that there is alot of good out there and alot of bad and I have seen both sides as many have, On the other hand I worked with a woman who had one child more than me, got like 700.00 a month in food stamps and Medical for her children even though we have Medical insurance through work, and was constantly wearing new clothes and big ole jewelry (expensive) . and driving a cadilac . She is no longer employed with my company because of stealing , her husband is in prison for drugs and I think she went to jail too, for a time anyway, so let folk do what they will because what goes around comes around in the end. Good or bad.
