Commenters at the hate site Fox Nation are again attacking the Straw Man in the form of the 45 million needy Americans who receive Food Stamps.
The comments in response to this second thread about Food Stamp recipients illuminates the Republican rank and file's contemptuous attitude toward the poor at a time when the country is still reeling from the disastrous consequences of George W. Bush's slavishly pro corporate economic and regulatory policies. Some even seem to blame the poor for the lack of jobs.
More Than 45 Million Americans Collected Food Stamps In 2011

I sware, if you make $100,000 a year you can qualify for food stamps. That's an extra $400.00 a month for grocery if you have several boys in the house it helps a lot. I shop at Dollar Store, own stock in them too.
No Reality needed.

As long as there is one "Help Wanted Ad" in the paper or on the street. There should be no food stamps given or unemployment check issued. With all the unemployment that is out there, every job should be taken. Why Not? Government Assistance with no questions asked.

Time to END the food stamp program TOTALLY.
NO MORE FOOD STAMPS, NONE.
There are charity organizations to feed the needy, that are far more equipped to certify that those asking really are needy.

you're forgetting - they had the kids to get on the program - duh, foodstamps is only one of the gifts in the goodie bag - additional monthly income - some states 1500 per adult and 1200 per child - the housing assistance - living in a 1200 dollar home for 250 - then food stamps - then free medical - free education - the avg when you add up the 2.3 you're talking about runs about 50 to 60k a year for misbehaving - stop paying them to have kids and guess what - they stop having kids - and for that single parent home, nope - the father still lives with them in most cases, they intentionally leave his name off the birth certificate so the child qualifies at birth - no waiting!

Lazy liberals! Instead of food stamps, give them a postage stamp so they can actually mail a job application!

Of course any out of work conservatives would have the moral rectitude to go hungry rather than take Food Stamps.

The math doesn't add up Bob...45 million are collecting and the unemployed are only at about 17-18 million. I just wonder what the race factor is here...how many are caucasian and how many are bl@ck or other minorities. The fact is, this country is turning into a welfare state, led by the far left MINORITY, while the center-right MAJORITY just sits, watches and complains about it.

That's the ticket Right Wing violence will solve the problem of having poor brown and black people in need.

This is all due to the Libtards and their FAILED social experiments of taking from the HAVES in order to "take care" of people. It DOES NOT work! The people that they have tried to "help" are just as addicted to the "gimme programs" as a crack addict is to that next drug fix! It has become WAYYYY TOOOO EASY for these 45 MILLION people to get "free" assistance, which in fact IS NOT FREE! WE THE PEOPLE (who work) actually pay for these FAILED social programs! Our Grandparents and Great-Grandparents were taught at an early age to stand on THEIR OWN two feet and NOT to be dependent...suddendly that's not the "norm" and it is DESTROYING our once proud nation....God have mercy on us!

There are lots of things that bother me about food stamps. The biggest one is when a single mother with two toddlers in the cart pays for several hundred dollars worth of food with food stamps, and she's pregnant with another child.

Another attempt by the "corporate fat cat funded" Fox News to stoke your feelings of racial hatred so you won't notice the ever-widening gap between the rich and poor. SUCKERS!!!
