Thread: My rant for the week

I was at a grocery store a couple of weeks back. I was in line behind a beautiful young Hispanic female. She had what looked like a two year old little boy with her. She was dressed really nice, had gold braclets and several gold rings. She had gotten some items and was fumbling for her WIC card. She paid for some milk and stuff with the WIC card. By then I was disgusted as I wanted to pay and leave, and since this was the only line open I had to wait. Then some other people came up, and they to became disgusted and became a little more vocal than I. She just turned around and smiled, produced her food stamp card, paid and left. Regardless if she was Hispanic, Red, White, Blue, Black, White or Orange in my opinion she should have not displayed all that jewelry while in a store receiving public assistance.

I totally agree on that and was probably driving a Cadillac Escalade. I do want to point out though things are not always what they seem. My wife and I were
foster parents. We had a newborn infant and we automatically qualify for wic vouchers. ( milk,formula,cheese,etc.) We definitely used the vouchers if you haven't
priced it formula for babies is pretty expensive. We would get looks once in a while too because we didn't fit the part of I guess being in need driving an suv etc.
I never felt the need to explain myself but I know you guys get the point. Food stamps however are given to low income families and it does strike a nerve when
you know they are just cheating the system.
