The Oxymoron is at it again. Fat, rich and drug addicted he has an inborn hate of those less fortunate than himself. And while he hates most of the folks in America one group has consistently been singled out by Fatboy. Yes to the Oxymoron the worst thing in America is not his own drug addiction or greed or the fact that working Americans have seen their wages stagnate causing their own disenfrachisement but the fact that many Americans do not want to see children starve.
Just listen to Limbaugh's latest Oxycontin induced rant:
I guess that Fatboy is mad because some people eat something besides pain pills and Viagara. Of course the truth about the folks that use foodstamps show just why Limbaugh hates them so much:
A typical family with children on the Food Stamp Program has income (not including food stamps) at 53 percent of the poverty line. For a family of three, 53 percent of the poverty line corresponds to a monthly income of $734, or an annual income of $8,800.
Nearly half (47 percent) of children who receive food stamps live in low-wage working families. In 2007 a typical family of three with a full-time minimum wage worker receives $335 a month in food stamps, an amount that constitutes 30 percent of the family’s monthly take-home income.

You see, far from being lazy slackers food stamp recipients work and are denied the chance at the American dream by stagnate wages and the greed of folks like the Oxymoron. Looking further you can see more reasons why Limbaugh hates this program and the folks that use it so much:
The current economic expansion has not reached low-income families. Poverty among children has increased from 16.3 percent in 2001 to 17.6 percent in 2005, the most recent year for which Census data on income and poverty are available.
Food stamps lifted the disposable income of 1.0 million children over the poverty line in 2005. Food stamps protected more children — another 1.1 million — from extreme poverty (living with family income below half the poverty line) than any other program.
The simple fact is these folks hate this program because it works. It helps the most helpless of us and is effective. It is well worth investment from all American taxpayers:
Families that get food stamps are less likely to be food insecure, resulting in decreased rates of Medicaid payments for preschooler’s anemia and malnutrition, decreased likelihood of child abuse, and improvement in reading and math. In older children, particularly girls, food stamps also have been shown to decrease the risk of obesity.
Only in the twisted world of Rush Limbaugh and his ilk is poor children eating nutritious food and having a chance to learn and rise up from poverty bad, while fat, lazy bastards like Rush Limbaugh laying around and eating Oxycontins and Viagara good. Only in their selfish minds is nothing sacred, not even the health and welfare of disadvantaged CHILDREN who for whatever reason need help if they have are asked to sacrifice one red penny towards helping them.
In fact, Rush Limbaugh and his ilk represent simply the worst element of our society. Their greed and laziness coupled with addiction to both drugs and money and self-serving greed and hatred of their fellow man is simply evil. Let us hope they are exposed for what they are finally and pushed to where they belong in American society.
Jail.
