DRSE welcomes 1st IM Member: The Situation

[Dark Geared God]

Food stamp fraud isn't near as devastating as corporate subsidy fraud/"lobbying", i personally don't hold it against poor people who try and get ahead at the expense of the government, but thats just me. My mom was on foodstamps pretty much my entire childhood. She never used them for things beyond food but it would have been real easy. But yeah, even with the cards it's still easy to pull off, just loan the card or just pick up something someone else wants then exchange it for beer/weed.

some places even do cash for a small fee..not everyone does it. some really ned it...just saying

I totally understand people being angry over ebt fraud, it DOES happen probably a lot. Being an anarchist makes me immediately assume propaganda when i see a "news" bit about foodstamp fraud however. An age old warfare tactic is to turn the people of an area or country against one another for the divide and conquer effect. Being that there is so much corporate/governmental overlap, i'd say there is good strategic purpose for suggesting poor people are always trying to get over on us. You get the people mad enough and they won't fight social expense cuts that inevitably end up being pumped into private enterprise.
There's no law on the books saying you have to pay federal income tax, so you could just stop filing if you wanted. It's also unconstitutional "no taxation without representation" or some legaleese bullshit.
