Republican Surrounded By Democrats

Food stamps.

When you see those words, what comes to mind?
Maybe you think of poor people, welfare, a helping hand?
Or maybe you think of
disgust, misuse, take it away, druggies.

My name is Tiffany.. and I am a single mother of two little girls, ages 2 and 3. I work full time as a CNA. By the time I get home, its time to bathe kids, cook, clean, and get in bed, just to get back up the next morning and do it all again.

I am in no way, shape, or form complaining about my life. I have made all of the choices I am living with today. I do not regret having children early, nor do I feel like a minor due to being a single parent. 

I don't mind working. I love the feeling of self supporting for my kids. I dont mind spending every dollar I earn on bills, in order to have a normal life for my children.
We dont have much, but what we do have is a home.

What I do mind???

Food stamps. I have received them to feed my children for the last two years, of no less than $200.00. However when I re apply this month, I get $14.00. What a slap in the face. They should have just refused me any!

You are telling me that because I work and TRY to do something with myself, I am punished?! EVERY dollar I have goes to a bill, while more bills sit in the drawer of my desk. There is NO money left over for fancy meals at restaurants, big toys for my kids, or to even have satellite in my house for my kids. 

I PERSONALLY know people who bring LOTS more money (my monthly amount in one week) and get $300 or more in food stamps a month. 

So, let me get this right.. I am punished for being honest, punished for actually getting off my ass and working, punished because I'm a WHITE AMERICAN??

Yeah.. if you didnt know even the DCF workers will tell you that African Americans get food stamps easier than if they were Caucasian.

 I am sick of being treated differently because of my skin color. Like I have to work harder to get any help, only to have it taken away. If you think Caucasian people are on top of the totem poll.... Check again.

I am DISGUSTED by our government. I am DISGUSTED by people who abuse this system.. because of those people.. people like me and my children can't have extra help to buy food. 

But hey, its okay. I'm just going to work harder and more hours, so others can keep on doing nothing.. yet, keep being rewarded by our shitty excuse of a government.

And I, for damn sure, will be voting next election.

REPUBLICANS will stop this kind of foolishness from going on. The people who need help, get none. The people who sit at home and have no plans of bettering themselves... get everything handed to them.

Homes, cell phones, food, cash, you name it.. 

This country is going to hell.
