this was surprising

i have a family member who has been on stamps for years. $400 a month the pantry has so much food in it that it is sickening. nothing but sweets bread and junk food. millions probably do the same thing. what a joke

fact checkers.. does the queen of england still sign off on who is the POTUS?

Cj- I friend I talk with tonight, single no kids, figured his total taxation is 67% including everything he is taxed on. So since he works hard and gets paid well, he's only entitled in the governments eyes, to 33% of what he earns, meanwhile, the mexican bitch who pops the beans out like pieces of shit gets to collect. That is offensive as fuck.

She doesn't even have anything to do with England's government.

I'm sure my math is off, looks like:

http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762156.html

From the 2010 census, using the 42.9 million on foodstamps then (it is now 47 million) and using the percentages in that picture.

white population- 196,817,000 (63.7%)
black population- 37,685,000 (12.2%)
latino population- 50,477,000 (16.3%)


white-1 out of every 12.7 on food stamps
black-1 out of every 3.9 on food stamps
latino-1 out of every 11.7 on food stamps

It is too early for me to be multiplying and dividing eight digit numbers.

If this was already covered my apologies but I'm confused. It looks like this could be saying two things:
1:10% of all Hispanics in the US are on food stamps
or
2:Hispanics receive 10% of all food stamp benefits?

I am guessing that it is number two. In that case, where is the other 32%?

I will go out on a limb and say that the 10% listed for hispanics is a representation of the hispanic Americans here legally, and that illegal aliens would be in the unlisted 32%.

I'm with CJ, race should not matter. It is just a deterrent from the real issue which is abuse of the system. There are to many people in this country that are happy to let others provide for them and a government that is more than happy to oblige.
