I checked to see what qualifies someone. 2 people have to make under 1,400... I work minimum wage and I still wouldn't be able to qualify... Who would think there would be people poorer than me?
What do you make an hour Whipsmack, how many hours a week do you work and what do you take home every 2 weeks on a paycheck (after taxes of course).
Just curious. And no, I don't have some hidden intent to make you look bad or feel poor or anything. I am legitimately curious what somebody making that takes home.
I can say that minimum wage here is $8.80 an hour We have no problems with bills or saving money, but living costs are very cheap here. I have made a choice, not to go into any sort of debt. I make pennies compared to most of you but I don't even have to work full-time to pay bills.
The people I know of that are on food stamps, have new cars and spend all their money on worthless crap. They are in so much debt, and that is why they qualify for the food stamps. So if you are irresponsible, you are rewarded.

last i heard about the U.S. population, it was closer to 330 million. also, those 400 probably give more to charity (like food banks and soup kitchens) than your 150 million combined.

I guess this shows how well the free market economy and trickle down economics really work. America where the top 400 people have more money then the other 150 million Americans combined and we don't see a problem with this.

But I thought spending money on stupid things is what life is about?

Well, lets look at this objectively now.
Democrats give you food stamps.
Republicans give you nothing.
I know who I would prefer to have in office if I was starving and needed food.

I have paid taxes my whole working life, so pick on someone who cares about your unAmerican drivel. 
And yes, I care more about my kids than you.
