What a bunch of crap

I don't care ... it's a non-government benefit and it's not funded by me.

Folks on the welfare have been buying those big fried Turkey legs down at Disney for some time now.

Now, why you are at Disney if you need Welfare? That's the real question.

Don't think I haven't thought of it. Can't do it though. Too much pride.

Smart business move. Amazon and Walmart are in competition for low earners. Low earners spend all their money.
