There's a Hole in the Bucket Dear Henry

Hello Fellow Tea Partiers,

I share your core values and grave concern for our nation. I live in the state of Colorado where I run a licensed childcare out of my home. I am sickened by what I see here in many ways. I write to you today about one of them. I recently became aware that a family of five I know is receiving $1000.00 per month in food stamps. The mother of these children reports that there is no way she could possibly spend that much on food. She furthur states that she sells half of them to her mother for cash. She also claims she can buy food from the Schwan's Man and that she is able to purchase Papa Murphy's Take and Bake Pizza. Many people are not aware of the fact that food stamps will purchase just about any food at the grocery store except for hot deli food. People on food stamps can buy pop, candy, premade frozen dinners, and just about any other type of crap food that show a strong correlation with health problems such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, tooth decay, and a plethora of other problems. When these people are all done pigging out on crap food and laying around watching T. V., then WE THE PEOPLE will be paying their medical bills. They certainly spend more at the store than I do using good old American cash. I think it is about time that WE THE PEOPLE say ENOUGH to the whole food stamp scam!!!

What happened to supplemental foods? The same woman reports to me that she is too good to eat them. Rice, beans, canned meat, canned fruits, vegetables, and cheese just aren't good enough when food stamps will buy steak, lobster, crab, etc.....with our hard earned money. I say ENOUGH!!! If these people are able-bodied and refuse to work, then I say they refuse to eat! If they do want to eat, they can either get off their dead butts and get a job, go to the soup kitchen, or live of a staple of rice and beans like a third of the world does.

This is just one of the giant holes in the American Bucket. I say, "WE SHOULD FIX IT, DEAR HENRY. FIX IT!"

What do you say?

Please feel free to duplicate this message in its entirety and let's blow the whistle on the food stamp issue until the American people say, "WE AREN'T GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. IF YOU DON'T WORK, YOU DON'T EAT."

LET"S SAVE OUR COUNTRY BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE.
