so food stamps are about to get cut

[OneManGang]

Of course they aren't intentionally trying to harm consumers, but if unchecked they could employ business practices that have that unintended effect.

Throwing tax payer money at something that may or may not happen? I'm against it. I'd rather deal with the wrong doers after the crime has been committed.

That's how the FDA regulates the supplement industry. Only problem is morally, some people may end up critically ill or

If I had it my way I'd be Bloomberg on steroids with my policies.

Well that's very irresponsible and thank God first world countries don't have this line of thinking.

what's a few dead people when compared against the bottom line?

 

[Black Hans]

what poor? We feed the poor.


My Bible makes it clear bums should be left to rot in these mean streets, I'm only responsible for the sick and elderly.

Which Bible is this?

Even that heathen The Real had to get you on that one.

Allen Wests latest fb status:

Just as the brilliant Madame Pelosi explained that unemployment benefits help create jobs, genius Jay Carney explains how food stamps create food. Ya gotta love liberal logic.

I'm not gonna even touch on the voluntary nature of consumption, and how no one has to drink coke for example, cause i know individual choice and responsibility dont exist here.

But companies that poison/hurt people dont survive, unless the people decide they like being poisoned...

these regulation create barriers to entry and punish the overwhelming majority of business's that are not trying to kill people.

So because people don't want to potentially die from consuming someone's
product they're ignoring "individual choice" and lack "responsibility" ?
I think you're so gung-ho about anti-regulation that you're pretty much
fine with anything as long as it makes cash because in your view the market
will "sort itself out". Even though people in this very thread
have provided evidence as to why this doesn't always work out
(or in some cases never would've without any intervention...).


You can be against certain things without resorting to extremes.
You know this right ?

I think the supplement industry is a damn good example.
There is a lot of B.S. there and out right LIES to push products to people.
It's at the point where the companies not only sell their product but they own the line
of magazines that promotes that product, on top of that they pay the athletes
and models that appear in their magazines to help promote that product.

They control the flow of information and because of this consumers may not know how dangerous some of the things they're taking might be.

Why wait until someone dies or receives a fatal injury when you can
have someone check these things before it hits the market ?

I mean they do this with the drug industry all the time.
Imagine what would happen if they didn't need any approval
before putting these drugs on the market.
You can already see the host of potential side effects in an infomercial
and this is WITH regulation.

2 Thessalonians 3:10 (CEB)
“If anyone doesn’t want to work, they shouldn’t eat.”

So, Paul's word is more authoritative than Jesus' now? How can a mere man's word be more authoritative than your 'Creator's', you hypocritical fake-ass Christian?

Here we go again, your assuming that because I don't want government doing it, I don't want it done at all

I'm not assuming anything brah.
You did a damn good job stating how you feel in this thread :

There are other posts in this thread that clearly show that you feel
regulation is somehow in the way of capitalism and that the market
will fix these issues (IE no need for regulation....) or that we should
have as little regulation as possible.

This fat junkie Rush Limbaugh is something else
Anyway, "Food stamp benefits will be cut to more than 47 million Americans starting [today] as a temporary boost to the federal program comes to an end without a new budget from a deadlocked Congress to replace it. Under the program, known formally as the Supplemental Nutrition and Assistance Program, or SNAP, a family of four that gets $668 per month in benefits will find that amount cut by $36."
You know, I look at this, and see a family of four that just "gets" $668 a month. That's real money.
You add 47 million times that, and that is real money: $668 per month!
that $668 a month is a lot -- to be given? And then you multiply that times 47 million, and now we're about to have a panic because that $668 is gonna be $632, there's gonna be a $36 cut?

This is the type of shyt I can't stand. No matter the subject, when people just blatantly lie to further thier agenda it just makes them look like a joke. Even if I agreed with him on this subject, it's a joke for him to try to make it out like every SINGLE person on food stamps gets $668 and you just times that by 47 million. Go pop another Viagra ya fat fukk

So we as a society need to accept that there will always be bums and there is nothing we can do about it?

That's road I don't want to be on. At some point the takers will outnumber the makers and that's when things will get interesting.

there is a small percentage of the population that will refuse to work and was discussed at length when I was in college. Did you pay attention?

Well if they refuse to work why should the tax payer support them?
