people on food stamps buying soda (because they should be forced to drink only milk and water if the taxpayers are funding their groceries)
My mom does that too! Even though we probably bought a case of soda every day when we were on food stamps. Oh, and let's not forget that the government checks she gets for my brother were what paid for me to get a private dorm room during my freshman year at one of the most expensive universities in Colorado. But our family never uses government hand-outs for non-necessities, oh no.
My mom also actually applauded when Florida instated that horrible "Drug testing for welfare recipients," law, even though that same law, if enacted just a few years earlier in Colorado, would have cost us our welfare. But it's ~different~ for our family. Even though the last time it was ~different~ for our family it took us two years and a lawyer to get it corrected. And surely poor people in Florida who might have reasons every bit as valid as (or identical to--hey! Go figure! Some people in Florida have

You know, the US government has practiced forced sterilization and it has been fucked up. We get cases like Elaine Riddick who after getting raped and pregnant at 13, the government decided she shouldn't have anymore children. Also it disproportionately effected racial minorities.
