wow, I had to look this video up to see if it was real, its sad that it is. I’m not entirely surprised that this is real. I used to work at wal-mart as a cashier, it was normal to see people using food stamps to buy unnecessary name-brand items, junk food and high end meat products on a daily basis. Then the customer would spend their cash on luxury items such as alcohol, tobacco or electronics. (items i couldn’t afford on a full time salary)
I believe that the government needs to do a better job of determining who needs the food stamps and then tightening down on what items they can buy with the food stamps. Perhaps if we got rid of foodstamps and used commodities less people would be inclined to want it. Nothing says party like a white can with mystery meat in it.

I’m shocked by all the people who are defending the rich man abusing programs for the poor. Another sign the world is ending tomorrow?

Something smells fake about this. Maybe the way it was shot, the fact that he answered the door and had a full discussion, the fact that the news channel isn’t identified with a chyron or watermark, etc…

Man. I am totally with the lottery winner. He went about it the right way and was told his condition still warranted needing assistance.  Then, he answered the reporters questions straightforward and wasn’t a jerk about it. Though, I’m biased. I lost my reporter job after my paper died. Yet, this guy, who put his foot into people’s houses, get’s to keep his? Why? Terrible story, terrible behavior, not personable. Where’s the justice for that? Let him keep the food stamps. For that matter, everyone in college is also liable for food stamps. Collect those as well, students and coeds.

Government guts his winnings by over half, something he won himself, and takes it for themselves. Fuck them, spend them stamps.

Why is this guy an asshole? Unless he’s lying, he seems to be the only guy here doing what he’s supposed to do. Blame the reporter for trying to make a story out of “what people would think” or blame the government worker for not cutting his benefits when he could sustain himself. But if this guy hasn’t lied to anyone, what’s his fault?

YEa the news guy is a real asshole

DISGUSTING

Well if over half his winnings went to taxes then he’s pretty much paying for his own… And when you say to someone they are taking other people’s tax money you never realize that this person also pays taxes

Fake.

Does he look like an asshole to most? Sure. But when you think about it, the man has a point. Whose to say he wouldn’t have used that money that was taxed to buy food for the rest of his life?

well, he’s honest…
