Can you spot the flaw in this idiot’s reasoning? "So I’m in Crystal City and I’m buying my groceries…and I noticed everybody was giving that card. They had these huge baskets, and I realized it was the first of the month. But then I’m looking over, and there’s a couple beside me. This guy was built like a brick house. I mean he had muscles all over him. He was in a little tank top and pair of shorts and really nice Nike shoes. And she was standing there, and she was all in shape and she looked like she had just come from a fitness program. She was in the spandex, and you know, they were both physically fit. And they go up in front of me and they pay with that card. Fraud. Absolute 100% all it is is fraud…it’s all over the place. And there you go, to the fact that we shouldn’t be supporting those who won’t work. They’re spending their money someplace."-Some asshole, to be named forthwith. ...That was Rep. Markwayne Mullin. Now guess what party he’s in. Ah, you don’t need to, he’s a Republican of course. Who else would be so stupid to assume that people in excellent physical condition are unemployed on purpose? I know several construction workers that were out of work when the recession hit hardest. Those lazy slobs! Maybe he was a gym teacher that was laid off because of the Sequester. Maybe he just keeps in shape because he prefers to exercise while job searching instead of sitting at home on the couch. The idea that the poor have to be sickly and fragile exists solely for the purpose of attacking social programs. If you CAN work but are on unemployment, that must mean you are lazy. Never mind that there still aren’t enough jobs to fill the demand, cut food stamps and force those lazy niggers poor people to get jobs! ...BTW, it was a nice touch that he mentioned the “really nice Nike shoes.” Nothing like blowing that racist dog whistle for the right wing base. Oh? I’m making that up? Really? Feel free to convince me that any republican would ever bother to comment on a white person’s Nikes. Good luck with that. ...I wonder when Rep. Mullins will show the same kind of outrage at the Wall St. criminality and fraud that cost Americans trillions of dollars? Food stamp fraud costs the taxpayers a tiny fraction of the money that the banksters pissed away but hey, let’s make the poor suffer for a few bad eggs instead of policing the rich and powerful for systemic corruption.
