Selling foodstamps

The original debate, without all the personal details, isn't really that interesting, IMO.  Would you turn in a poor person who cashes in food stamps, for no nefarious purpose like drugs?  Would you turn in a person who uses food stamp cash to buy toilet paper and dish soap?  It seems the overwhelming response is "NO" even for those people who don't approve of the practice.

If that's all this debate was about, it wouldn't have gone on for 29 pages.  OP, you can't expect to put personal details of a GA type situation into a post and not have the DT comment upon the specific situation.   You've been around long enough to know it doesn't work like that.

When you put your business out there, you open yourself up to all types of criticism, good or bad.

Even though you said over and over that your mom does not sell her foodstamps, numerous posters linked it to your mom's circumstance. Not to mention when your business is out there, people start making assumptions about your life etc. and making sterotypes about you, as we have seen evident on this thread.

To answer your original question, no I would not turn someone in who was selling their foodstamps to make ends meet.

Good god in heaven, were people who were against selling food stamps really suggestion that OP's mom take money under the table and/or "say" she was paying rent to avoid changes in her SSI payments? So its not okay to break the law one way but its okay to break the law another way?

The reading comprehension skills on this thread are atrocious. It took pages before some people finally got it through their heads what the OP was asking, even after she repeated herself several times.

What's on your mind?
