The bottom 33% of all US households (37.3 million households) earn less than $30k/year. Poverty level is $20k for a family of four.
Tell me how they can eat healthfully.
I think the amount of food stamps you get varies by state. Conceivably it's possible that a family under the poverty line will be able to afford better food than a family over it.
Actually just last week, Toledo Councilmen, or some political group tried to feed their families on the amount of foodstamps that they would receive. Never did see the outcome.
And I am pretty sure a jar of peanut butter costs more than $1.19. But don't quote me on that.
These fuckers on food stamps and welfare, most of them are doing it because they don't want to work. How can I back that claim up, all the help wanted signs. Don't give me the 'it doesn't pay enough' argument. They can still get subsidized housing, free medical, food stamps. They can not get cable, cigarettes, drugs, or booze. Hey, there's more time you can either cook or earn more money. Am I stereotyping, a little but I've seen first hand how these idiots live. You notice most poor people smoke. That's a shitload of money over a year just for cigarettes.
