(466 posts)others on what people use their food stamps for.
One girl I know mentioned how she saw someone use food stamps to buy a cake. She felt that if you're poor enough to get food stamps, that you shouldn't use it on a cake.
I mean, God forbid a poor person should want a little bit of happiness in life. Maybe they're having a birthday party for their child and they don't want to let them down?
Honestly, I could care less if a poor person uses food stamps to buy a cake that doesn't even cost $100. We have RICH people looting millions from the middle class in the form of obscene tax cuts, all the while getting subsidies from the very government they seem to despise.
If you see a poor person use food stamps on a cake, just let them freakin' eat it! Even Marie Antoinette would be okay with that!
