The reason this is an eye-opener to most people is that they've been conditioned to equate welfare/food stamps = black.

The narrative has always been: look at all those black people sponging off you, hard-working white man! Same with food stamps. You have to go out and work, to fund these people who are using welfare to by iPhones and flatscreens and live on the dole!

There was a CBS news segment not too long ago about people who had been thrown out of work (you know, by the black guys running Wall St. and their b.s.) and had to rely on food banks and charity. They were all white. I would suspect they weren't all Democrats either. A lot of them had kids and seemed like decent, honest people who wanted so bad to be back working and having some self-esteem.

I wondered how that video would go over in front of a Tea Party crowd, when they saw that what they've been fed for years had been propaganda. Still wonder.

I'm not surprised. Most of these red states have punitive tax policies on the poor by relying on sales and property taxes instead of income. The quality of education and other safety nets is also poor. These states have some of the highest poverty rates in the developed world.

Really? Reinforces that all welfare people are black? Is that so...

As I've also noted before, the biggest face-sucking parasites when it comes to welfare in this country are those enjoying corporate welfare and subsidies and of course Wall St.

How many of them do you reckon are black?

Considering that what they suck out of our Treasury on an annual basis would probably pay for food stamps for 20 years.
