An EBT card is what you get now instead of food stamps.

This song is a tribute to food stamps.

Jeeezus! Maybe the usual suspects have a point about U.S. Federal social programs after all.

yet more ammo i can use in "disscussion" with my liberal friends.. mabey one day they will wake up and realize that this type of abuse and welfare dependancy exists...

he looks more than capable to work.. as are a vast majority on welfare.. I cannot keep any good help because my line of business (landscaping) is hard work.. i cannot count the times after i have a new hire that quits to go back on food stamps because he/she "aint gonna work dat hard..."..

we have created a situation where families have not worked for several generations.. kids grow up thinking that welfare is the norm and acceptable..
I agree with it as a safety net, but i am more for work fare, not work fare...

hope i do not offend anyone here, but i have found that most that support the current welfare system have either not been around people like this guy much, or have something to gain from it...

a great number of people have found that they can vote themselves more benefits (free money, etc)....since Liberals cannot gain the support of the majority of the business and financial sectors, this has become their base..

there are a lot of parasites in this country that want to live off the work of others instead of getting it for themselves...
What happens when there are too many parasites? They will kill the hosts, then there are not enough resources for they parasites and they starve since they have no other way of supporting themselves...

If liberal truly want to help these people, teach them a trade and help them get jobs... there will be DRAMATIC drops in crime, drugs, etc.. as people will have the time in their day filled, have respect for what others have as now they have had to work for what they have, instead of having it given to them. The current system only debilitates them more by handicapping them and not giving them the tools to help themselves..
"give a man a fish and you feed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life"...
Why is this concept so alien to some?

Opps.. sorry about the rant.. my soap box is collapsing, so i'll zip it now...

If that vid is not just some freak or joke but is truly reflective of a significant situation in the States, then, as I said earlier, I may have to rethink some basic world views of my own.

Anyone other than the usual suspects want to weigh in on this?

GOOD music is always about how it makes you FEEL and that vid triggered some MAJOR negative feelings for me.
