Rush Limbaugh is a worthless piece of human crap who makes big bucks pandering to other fools. There is nothing of any redeeming value that comes out of his humugous piehole, only racist, misogynistic, and xenophobic garbage. It’s a sad commentary on both him and the Republican party that he is their unofficial “leader,” whom they tiptoe around for fear of offending him. Like other folks in the GOP, he continuously makes ignorant and erroneous comments about food stamps and welfare, and who are the recipients. His remark that Willard was booed at the NAACP for being white is laughable, because they positively loved Joe Biden, who speaks to all Americans in the 99% group.

I beg to differ with you Jacqueline that “the man makes BIG bucks for being a fool.”

I say he makes big bucks to pander to fools.
Wait. How about we agree Limbaugh does both.

According to 2010 U.S. Census data, blacks comprise only 12% of the U.S. population, yet make up 26% of SNAP recipients….Comparing the percentage of blacks living in poverty (27%), to the percentage of black Americans (12%), it is clear that if African-Americans are oversubscribed to anything, it’s poverty.

~snip~

If one compares participation in the food stamp program to poverty levels, it appears white people are “oversubscribed” to the food stamp program, since less than 10% of white Americans are living in poverty, yet 49% of SNAP benefit recipients are white.

~snip~

Too often, we dismiss the problems of the poor by making sweeping generalizations from a safe distance – or make narrow judgments when we are forced to deal with the poor up close. Clearly, the increase in the food stamp program is a symptom of what ails the American economy – job loss and income inequality.Instead of accusing those who complain about income inequality of “income envy,” politicians should focus on putting the long-term unemployed – not to mention the never-employed – to work.
