Nation’s LARGEST Food Stamp BUST Just Happened…

Food stamps need to go. Period. This nation’s economy is teetering on the precipice of disaster and it is only held up with continued borrowing.

To make matters worse, our nation is deeply divided along all conceivable lines – but nowhere is this division more serious than in the division between the “producers” and the “takers.”

With roughly half the country paying taxes and the other half not, it’s easy to see why there is so much discontentment among the working class. We taxpayers are paying for services that are designed to enable the continuation of failure. While there are some who are on the government dole who are working hard to try and escape poverty, many, many others see the “free” money that pours in as an opportunity to facilitate laziness at the expense of others.

Not only is the welfare state overburdened by “takers,” but it is also overburdened by scam artists who see bilking the system as lucrative.

Currently, the operators of an elaborate scam surrounding Baltimore, Maryland, are looking at considerable time for their theft from the welfare state.[2] Combined, over a dozen retail establishments have squeezed over $16 million from taxpayers by operating a scam where the retailers offered cash payments for food stamp purchases where no goods were actually exchanged.

As if that were not bad enough, Ann Corcoran, a journalist investigating the scam, highlighted the names of the scam artists facing 20+ years for the crimes[3] and noted that there seems to be a trend.

Take a look. Do you notice any common thread?
