It might not be bc of that. Maybe he believes that people who actually need it should get it, and not freeloaders who don’t work and don’t do anything to contribute to society.

It’s a very modern and detached way of thinking to say that things like food, water, and shelter are human “rights.” You have the right to pursue those things, and it is wrong for anyone to do something that limits you from doing so, but you do not have a right to have something that has limited supply.

Yeah so like if my mother weren't able to have food stamps, me and my sisters would've starved. Growing up sometimes the only meal i had that day was at school, but bc a small percentage of people misuse and instead of making strict regulations, other children in the same position as me will go hungry bc they don't have a right to food.

those are rights?? are u stupid? we have a right to healthcare and all of those other things you stated. there are people who work job and still can’t afford to eat, so SNAP is completely valid. and since when has food been a limited supply? last time i checked, walmart and aldi were fully stocked

That’s just not true, also it doesn’t matter what other countries are doing, I think tax payer dollars should not go to people that aren’t citizens. Many people share that same sentiment. It’s not that we don’t want to feed the hungry, but there’s only so much to go around so if we’re feeding illegals, that means there are others such as homeless people or Veterans not getting what they need.

Snap benefits can’t go to illegal immigrants you need valid ID and social security numbers to receive federal aid like snap or Medicare

Okay valid response. I was thinking of the wrong thing. In terms of snap, what bugs most people that disagree with it are the amount of people that take advantage of it and don’t even work or attempt to get out of poverty because they receive so much government aid. Obviously there are cases where people can’t work and those are the people that need snap. But for every person that is taking advantage of it, there’s someone out there that needs it and isn’t getting it.

And hard working tax payers should not suffer because others don’t wanna get off their ass due to the amount of free aid they get. Once again, there are definitely people that NEED it, I’m taking about those that could get out but don’t want to.

I just think there are way fewer freeloaders than you think there are

According to the Center on Budget and Policy, approximately 38% of households on SNAP have a working adult. It’s probably more around 50% once you factor out disabilities. But that’s quite a large amount of freeloaders.

Your own personal experience is not his and you apparently have made no effort to discuss or understand why he believes what he does. Stop trying to be the main character and open your ability to discuss and debate Life is going to be hard for you.

So just because someone is working doesn't mean they are making enough to support themselves or a family. Growing up my mom worked worked multiple jobs. Still couldn't afford to feed us. I'm literally only in college bc i'm on an athletic scholarship. It's such a privilege take to just assume that someone who has a job also has the ability to provide. Especially in this economy.

i have actually and he refused to show me his gf a shred of compassion! this isn't bc im unwilling to debate, this is bc he doesn't consider others feelings!

That’s the opposite of the point I was making, I was saying those 38% that are working are the only ones that deserve it. The other 62% that work 0 hours a week should not be getting handouts.

Your mother who worked very hard is a prime example of people that DO deserve SNAP.
