Why is banning the coverage of sugary junk foods for EBT/SNAP parasites a controversial issue?

Why is banning the coverage of sugary junk foods for EBT/SNAP parasites a controversial issue?

I wasn't sure if this was appropriate for the Brain Worm dude thread. I have seen some meltdowns regarding this "government overreach" in the last few days from EBT/SNAP parasites or blue haired obese they/thems stating that its "fascism" of course as the government is dictating what people can and cannot put into their own bodies. SNAP/EBT/WIC and any similar program should not exist in the first place. They do nothing but further promote the financially bigoted progressive tax system that unfairly places an inequitable tax burden on the top percentage earners. Haven't these people heard the phrase "beggers cant be choosers"?

EBT/SNAP parasites

Condemning entitlement programs = Nazism?

The government is there to "Govern" its not there to enable laziness. I am no gimmick, anything I write I believe.

hi, because it's a stupid choice, although not for the reasons some leftists argue about.

Feeling like you want to micromanage the behaviour of people on welfare is, on paper, reasonable. After all you are paying so you should have a say about how that money is used, right?

well, except it doesn't work anyway AND it's a burden you put upon companies more than upon the welfare recipients, and from the right i really hope you do agree walmart and everyone else should not be burdened by more bureaucracy just because welfare recipients can't control themselves right?

so what happens in the real world if you ban some products from availibility with SNAP (or other welfare cash) is that they buy it anyway with *other money*, and buy with snap stuff they need anyway, or stuff other people want, and they give it to them and get the cash back (to buy the banned items).

You don't reduce their splurge on unhealthy stuff. You don't help their kid having a better diet. You just create more costs for companies that sell to them who now have to change their systems to account for the new and changed list of "forbidden items". Walmart can do it very efficiently. Mom and pop stores, who usually vote republican, can't.

In real life you often need to keep your "desire for justice" distinct from the actual policy, because acting ideologically very often backfires. That's basically the history of all failed leftist policies. And the right should really really really not do what leftists routinely do

I suspect that AlphaSwole is an alt of TropicThunder.

Several months ago, TropicThunder was posting a bunch of run of the mill stuff like this that was critical of Trump and Republicans:

by TropicThunder

I never imagined GOP could actually win and defund everything because it doesn't make sense. What do we do when the US can't pay it's debt in 5-10 years because of these tax cuts? Is there a plan? It's never been brought to my attention. Usually people make wild claims about magically paying for themselves or change the subject. What's the plan? Loot social security to fund mor

Then, very recently, he started making a bunch of troll posts like this:

Stephen Miller is one of the GOATs of our race. A proud white man who isn't scared to call parasitic scum what they are. A true warrior for freedom, justice, and the American way of life. He would fit right into this nazi bar.

by TropicThunder

We should enslave all the parasites and those that don't comply should simply be put to death. They aren't good for anything except wasting taxes. I'm stoked about the new executive order that rounds up the homeless leeches and sends them to farm camps. That combined with ICE, and RFK's rehabs should rid the streets of most of the unsightly vermin we're forced to encounter. The

My guess is that these posts weren't getting enough attention because everyone knew he was trolling so he decided to try again with a new gimmick account.

I see. Thanks for the insight, Roc

Don't you think participating in government programs that are based upon stealing from their fellow citizens is dehumanizing enough? Are we not allowed to criticize programs that do nothing but disincentivize hard work and further support a financially bigoted progressive tax system that marginalizes the top percentage earners?

Take it to the Israel/Palestine thread if you want to say dehumanizing things about certain groups of people.

I didn’t know people working 40h a week and still unable to afford rent and decent food or barely able to , equal laziness ?

Where are the days when 1 person wage could support an entire family ?
Thx Regean and trickle down economic, it worked great didnt it .

Remind me again what was the tax rate in the 1950-1980 ?

Actually, the effective tax rate for the rich didn't change much after Reaganomics. The top rate was dropped from like 90% to 45%, but when it was 90% there were a tonnage of loopholes that could cut that rate in half if all the loopholes were utilized. The previous structure was essentially a full-employment program for tax accounts.

As if it isn’t the case anymore today 0o ????


Over a 50% majority of the recipients of snap/ebt are children of single parent homes. 38% are single mothers. The dead beat dads are the real thieves.

1 wage can still support an entire family

As for "Supply Side Economics" that is the policy that helped rectify a lot of inequities suffered by higher percentage earners and it also led to the economic boom in the 1990s. Part of the reason why Reagan is universally considered the best President of all time. EMTALA is a stain on his record however, that disaster of a policy needs to be repealed.

Mothers that didn't care about whoever the dad was, are as much responsible.

I am fine with Food assistance for children under the age of 18 as they cannot choose their parents, however once you become an adult the beautiful thing about capitalism is it allows you to choose your financial destiny. I do not want government money funding unhealthy junk for these growing children. Healthy foods are far more affordable than junk foods so not only will these changes help the overall health of our impoverished youth it will give the caregiver more bank for their buck when using their entitlement programs.

We also need to address the fact that Democrats are attacking the nuclear family. The rise of single parent households are their doing.

This is incorrect. The mothers did not abandon the children.


by Crossnerd

This is incorrect. Men lie about who they are.

Men are 2nd class citizens in modern day America

Higher suicide rates, less likely to graduate college, more likely to declare bankruptcy, less likely to own a home, etc......

Men are expected to pay 18 years of child support if a woman births their child, however the man has zero say in whether a woman murders their child in utero. This is a mans world? Right.....

No it’s not.


Can’t cry about government handouts when men are the ones abandoning their responsibilities to these children

Patriarchy currently has men in the same chokehold. I guess good luck working that out.

Wear a condom. 👍


by Crossnerd

You don't know what you are talking about

The existence of entitlement programs alone disincentivize 2 family households. The Lefts Pro-Crime policies take away the consequences for committing crimes and discourages men from working stable jobs and providing for their family. The far left neo marxist black supremacist hate group "Black Lives Matter" even quoted on their website a desire to "disrupt the Western-prescribed nuclear family structure"."

Everything is better with two parents in the household, particularly when one is a stay at home parent. I don't even know how these other people operate as my kindergarteners hours are 8-230pm. What type of employment ends at that time?

Are you saying single mothers who gets gov help don't get a single cent from the father?
If yes it's weird and I guess an american thing, because I have a lot of single mothers (90%+ of mothers I know are single) friends that get help from the gov AND from the father (which is absolutely fine btw).

Obviously some fathers don't help at all.

I'm just going to go out on a limb and guess that deadbeat dads are not a uniquely American thing.
