Oh you hate socialism?

The US spends about $106b/yr out of its $10.3t/yr budget on food stamps. That's about 1% of the yearly budget.

Let's put that in perspective. If you make $50,000/yr salary, about $80 of your taxes goes toward food stamps, and about $4,000 of it goes toward corporate subsidies (defense contracts, billionaire tax breaks, farms, distributors, oil and gas, etc).

If you're mad about the 80 bucks instead of the $4,000 dollars, you don't hate socialism, you hate poor people.
