Perfect example of corporate greed and how tariffs are putting more farmers out of business so the rich can buy up the land and cash in on taxpayer bailouts. The system is set up to ruin farmers and make shareholders and CEOs rich. It needs to stop and these corps broken up.

Keep your eyes peeled at the grocery store for folks asking you to sign anything from American Citizens for Voting or Committee to Protect Voters' Rights. They are trying to make it harder for all Michigan voters to register. If you see someone at the store, talk to the manager... seriously!

Well said! It isn't about people not working. This is the majority of SNAP recipients. Their greed is hidden by GOP bait and switch and sold on a lie. It started with Reagan's "welfare queen" BS. Now SNAP and ACA increases are going to decimate families while the 1% gets richer.
SNAP exists because politicians take campaign contributions from large corporations in exchange for letting those corporations pay a poverty wage so low that it must be subsidized with taxpayer money, paid by middle class workers barely getting by—all so 700 billionaires can have a few extra billion
