TranscriptionA Twitter post by Fuckin' Princess @8WithaTiara that reads “Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn't be able to buy junk food on food stamps.. Well, I don't think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands.. But here we are.”

i was reading on the sub that was talking about how 42mil people are on snaps. and one person was chiming in how it is abused, by buying lottery tickets booze, and then started saying buy expensive things like crab legs, lobsters, or when thier card declines to the food has to be thrown out. i dont think this person know what abused means, lol.

think roger smith from american dad, he was using "dolls" as foster children to get more government welfare, that is abusing. like you hear stories of people that keep fostering children to get more govt assistance, that is abusing. also a moderately waged person cant even use snap or medicaid, since it has a very low income requirement.

Yeah and, who are these people that have 1 million kids to abuse welfare? I want to see one of them. That shit would suck!!!

i forgot to mention, abusing it if your income is higher than the maximum income requirement for snap/medicaid, that is also abuse if you dint report it to get off medicaid, and puts you in legal trouble, you might have to pay back for the services used. buying expensive, or non-essential things doesnt sound like abuse, just irresponsible spending.
