I agree that food stamp recipients should be looking for jobs, but let us also ensure that those who work do not need food stamps! Raise the minimum wage so that employees of notorious companies such as Walmart and McDonalds are not also on the dole because their bosses don't pay a living wage. Walmart and McDonalds are perhaps the biggest culprits others are surely there but Walmart also likes to extort tax breaks from communities and then move when the breaks are over. As a result they reap huge profits and we, the people, suffer. Reigning in corporate greed is more essential than whipping the suffering.
Let us look also at ways to make corporate malfeasance less profitable. If corporations are people too as Citizens United suggests then let us put culpable corporations in prison either by suspending their business activity for a period of time or by placing their responsible parties in jail. If they are allowed to pay small fines they write them off as cost of business, real penalties might just deter wrong action. Take a stand for America Ron, Do the right thing and show leadership.
Thank you.
