Silly me, I wasn't thinking of cupcakes as a luxury item.
Of course they CAN buy luxury items with welfare money; however, common sense indicates that they have other sources of income. That was my point.
Silly me again. I didn't think frozen pizza was a luxury item either.
Your rant regarding the controlling of how people should eat has shades of Mayor Bloomburg on it.
I don't give a flip what people eat when they pay for it with MONEY THEY EARN THEMSELVES! When on the dole, they should be able to ONLY buy what is NEEDED. They CAN buy cupcakes with the EBT card. Candy too. It is not a rant either. The FACTS are this. Hard working people EARN that money. It is taken from them, by force, and given to someone else. When that money is taken from the rightful owner, it limits THEIR ability to provide for themselves and their own families. Therefor, those who are on the take should have limits too.
