Will the government take away your chickens?

[RHRanch]

Wait and see. Do we have a well informed populace or a well indoctrinated populace? Will people surrender their freedoms for free health care, food stamps and social welfare benefits? Time will tell.

What freedoms do you have to surrender to get food stamps? Or Welfare?

 

[rufus]

Not follow the party line and see how much food stamps and welfare you get. But you still get to pay for all of the social parasites that won't work and won't pay taxes. When our nation is hooked on the opium of social welfare, we are doomed.

Time will tell.

Who has been denied food stamps for not following "the party line" ?

 

[fallenleader]

new foodstamp policy:
seeds,
few hens and a rooster, some lumber and a bit of fencing.
lol

:/ sadly anybody who might lead a revolution against any tyrannical government has been or will be classed a "terrorist" and taken care of.
homeland security is busy protecting the interests of the government.

Last time I checked you don't get denied welfare based on your party affiliation.

Lat time I checked they don't base getting foodstamps on anything other than asking.

Don't you have to show a need ?

When was that and in what country? Must have been in the Dark Ages or something. You have to qualify to receive benefits. You have to provide financial and (un)employment records, if you have a disability or medical problem you have to have proper documentation. There are limits on the amount of time you can be on it, too. (Except SSI/Disability, if your disability is permanent and you cannot work, you can be on it indefinitely.) If you get unemployment $, you have to prove that you are applying for a certain amount of jobs per month, and you can only get benefits for a short time based on how long you were employed before you were laid off. In CA if you get "food stamps" it comes in a debit card and you must show ID that you are the cardholder, and it automatically prevents you from buying alcohol, tobacco, etc., and you have to get store/generic if it is available VS premium brands.

Hve you ever read the application? even a third grader could manipulate the answers and get benefits. It is all based on an honor system, they are very relaxed in the requirements as a way to keep the door open to those that may actually need it. You obviously have no experience with obtaining social welfare and how it works.

Recently I helped someone apply for food stamps via on line. They required you to answer quite a few questions regarding your finances and then afterward a real person did a follow up to check. To say that anyone can get food stamps by just asking is wrong and then to support that by saying that anyone can lie is more then wrong. People can lie, cheat and steal in a lot of situations but to then claim that is the solution to defeating a system is just atrocious.
