Please, stop using my tax dollars to buy $50. birthday cakes for your 4 year old son/daughter. Also, please don''t get mad at me when I check you out and explain to you that you cannot buy prepared food with your EBT card. Sorry the government won''t let me pay for your 12 piece chicken dinner. Did I make the rules? NO! I sincerely feel like there are people out there who need help, and I have no problem with that. However, when you buy a birthday cake, ding dongs, and gummy bears on your EBT card, buy a carton of Newports and lotto tickets with your cash, drive your children (who just happen to be wearing brand new Nikes) away in your new Tahoe I get a LITTLE pissed off. I work damn hard and don''t make much money. But guess what? I don''t buy s*** I don''t need! Please don''t let your wants get ahead of your needs, and please, PLEASE stop making my husband and I pay for your frivolous groceries out of our tax dollars.

wow..... this posting, tisk, tisk.. first not all people who have an ebt card is poor, i agree it could be foster care it could be a parent who works but doesn''t make a lot of money so he/she gets aid to help cover the cost food. but most importantly anyone thinking they know a person because they have an ebt card is in for some hard lessons in life. wake up get educated there are some people who lose the job that paid for that truck and have to go on aid to continue to support their families. focus on yourself dont be so quick to pass judgement.

Yeah...there is no way that these people are hard working, tax paying, foster parents and getting medicaid on the children because you can''t put foster children on their personal insurance or an allotment of money to do things for the children such as buying new shoes and throwing birthday parties...that NEVER happens either...

This pisses me off also. I love the fact that people with EBT cards can go into nice sit down restaurants and spend my hard earned money on a lobster dinner. I can''t even afford a lobster dinner for myself but other people can go out and buy themselves a fancy dinner with my money when they are supposed to be in need. Oh and to top it all off, I had a roommate who served these people and they RARELY if ever had the decency to tip. They can walk into a restaurant and spend our hard earned money on a nice meal for themselves but yet they cant dip into their own wallets to tip the server who took care of them all night. That''s disgusting...

Make a birthday cake yourself! Spend five bucks to buy cake mix and frosting and make it yourself. Don''t spend fifty bucks on a pre-made cake. Teach children the value of each OTHER and their family rather than the value of things.

Oh yeah, because we all know it''s impossible for poor people to have relatives with money who are willing to buy shoes for their nieces and nephews or put something new in the church collection of clothes for the needy. That NEVER happens.

Poor children need to learn that they don''t deserve anything special. Trying to buy their kid a birthday cake was just bad parenting.

That''s pretty ridiculous.
I worked at a pharmacy where folks would have medicaid for their kids, but be driving relatively new suburbans/tahoes/other nice cars.
