YUM Brands Trying to Mooch off the Food Stamp Program

Should food stamp recipients be able to buy taxpayer-financed meals at fast food restaurants? One restaurant company thinks so.When gubbermints start givin’ out free stuff, all sorts of people get in line. Many may think it’s a bad idea but see others getting free stuff at their expense so they join the line. Soon everybody’s on line, and that’s when the whole mess implodes.

  • More Corporate Greed. This is just a plan for fast food corporations to get more profit, those greedy bastards.

  • America better wake TF up! Anyone who works for a living is being raped by the democrat party. Your hard earned wealth is stolen by the government only to pass it to the loafers, leeches, and able-bodied non-workers by choice.

    Soon there will be no workers left funding the taxes and everyone will be broke.

    Don't let the democrats rape your mind any longer. Vote Conservative for your future life and liberty!

  • I have no problem with food stamps being used to buy fast food. Poor kids deserve to see how shitty Mickey D's tastes just like the rest of us...

  • You can't even buy a precooked rotisserie chicken on food stamps. Not likely they will cover restaurants any time soon. Of course, I remeber when you couldn't use ffood stamps for food imported from other countries and that's gone by the wayside.

  • I have a pic of a receipt found in a grocery parking lot in February or March I think that records a purchase of 6 or 8 lobster tails and a few steaks, totaling something like 140 bucks or so that also shows that it was paid with the food stamp program. Probably celebrating the recent job application or who knows?

      • That was supposedly investigated, and found that the steaks and lobster were purchased to be resold for cash.
