I am and I don't feel anything. Times are tough and that extra really helps. I get $90 a month.
Everyone I know has their EBT card. I know it's really easy to get here and Cali and if you say your homeless(you don't even have to be) you get it even faster.

I wouldn't classify foodstamps as system rape simply because you have to be living in abject poverty just to get them. The poverty level is around 12k a year.
This isn't true. You can live in your parents home and say you prepare your meals separate from them, pay rent(or say you do), and you can get some. Not alot though.

i wish i was on foodstamps

this. back in the day it had a stigma of waiting in line for free cheese and ripping stamps out of those booklets but the EBT cards changed the game.

wish i had the EBT card jumpoff so that i could but the real (health) shyt i wanna eat instead of pacing thru the supermarket negotiating in my head whether i should get one item over the other

Wrong.

A lot of people with Stamps have money. The system thinks they're poor, but in reality, they're in the working class just like the rest of us.

White folks living in the suburbs have stamps, and they live in pretty nice homes. The husband makes the money and the wife file for the stamps.

I didn't know that. Its different everywhere. In some places you have to have a valid address to get them. Ive heard of homeless people not being able to get it. It was times my family HAD to get foodtamps growing up. It only made me grind harder. Id never wanna go back.

I guess so. I wouldn't willingly be reporting to crackas at a welfare office and have them going through all of my personal finances just to get an extra 200 dollars a month.

A lot people with food stamps don't make enough money to support themselves. Where did you get your information from to assume that a lot of people with money are getting food stamp?
