    You can't even think situation when someone can't have job? So you just hang them?

    Ahhh...so you are one of those people who think that because YOU overcame tough circumstances...EVERYONE should.

    That would be like Christopher Columbus (or Leif Erikson) thinking since he "discovered" a new continent...everyone else should also.

    Right on, Qohelet.

    There is a class of people who just do not get it.

    Gotta keep fighting the good fight...and hope that decent people prevail!

    What about the skinny ones on food stamps? Is that a scam too? So there are no starving people in the richest country on earth?? Have you ever been to Appalachia before? or the Barrio's or Oniontown? Perhaps in your Utopian world there is no one starving but travel around the country and you'll find people homeless who are starving or living in substandard conditions where food is a rare commodity. Open your eyes for once.

    So you think it's about genes? Guess what, you're close to Nazis with that comment - are you happy now?

    Do you think that some people with "bad genes" should just die? And you're genes are way better, so you should live?

    Or you're just trolling around..

    Appalachia is the 'poorest' part of the country. I've been there. Surprised? Have you been there? I doubt it or you wouldn't have made the reference. Nobody is starving in Appalachia....unless they choose meth over food. That's a choice. If you have a choice, you aren't starving. They may be short on teeth there, but they have enough food....even without SNAP.

    I had to support myself all my life.
    Never got food stamps, but did go hungry in bad times.
    shot rabbits and birds to eat.
    It made me work harder.
    Now I am comfortably retired, ( Semi retired, I still own part of my business).
    Home owner, 2.4 grown kids.
    Anyone can do it if they want to,

    That's not true. I don't know why you can't think people with difficulties - reducing their ability to compete in life. Some people are born as handicapped. Or it's something else, accident, sickness, pick one. It's intellectually unbearable to put everyone in line and say "all of you have equal starting point for life". It's not like that, there is lot of different factors and some are easier to overcome and some just impossible. For example, there is really small chance to be astronaut - do you think that, those who don't make it are just bad people? Same with many other things.

    I live in Appalachia. People are starving here. Food banks beg for donations but cannot keep up in areas of rural Tennessee.

    You driving through looking at the leaves changing colors does not make you even remotely knowledgeable on the issues this region faces. Healthcare shortages and monopolies are another huge issue.

    People;e with snap benefits should be able to buy needful things such as toilet paper, hygiene products, etc with them. It's not fair to deny them these products.

    Now you're talking real capitalism. The billionaire barons of capitalism are the real drug financiers in the 21st century.

    What a repulsive piece of Ivory Towerism. Lemme guess, Mr Fuller was not born and raised by peasants in the Third World (as are the vast majority of human beings).

    Nonsense. I have a friend who lives in a large American city. He's a VEGAN. He has no trouble at all finding all he needs in the inner city.

    I have a realistic view of welfare slobs. It's only 'negative' because the view ain't pretty. It ain't coming from me.

    No system can sustain free lunches. Sure, they may be technologies or systems which would allow some to work while most don't, but given the nature of the beast (humans), how long do you think that would last?

    Bless, but no. Some of us just care far more about the genuinely suffering billions, than we do about a relative handful of fat First Worlders.
