"Kansas has found the ultimate way to punish the poor"

[Ben Kenobi]

It takes a non-christian to spot a non-christian like you.

Right. Call me when you find Jesus and maybe you'll gain an understanding of what he teaches.

People get mad when the government wastes their tax dollars, as has been illustrated in this thread.

Actually, no they don't. They are complaining that the money is going to the evilll capitalist banks, not the government. They care where the money is going and they are upset that it's not going to their friends pockets as they 'help' the poor.

Who's getting paid that? Please read the OP before responding.

Where's my 25 dollars?! You owe me gribbler!

The extra bank fees are waste. Welfare for low income single mothers isn't considered waste. People on welfare are not part of the government and this doesn't affect the salaries of government employees.

You don't even read scripture and you adamantly refuse to because it contradicts what you believe.

The only reason you claim to be a catholic is so you can ingratiate yourself with pedophiles.

Here's how you can get it:
1. Become a parent
2. Be poor enough to qualify for TANF*
3. Receive money

*I don't think illegal immigrants qualify

Ben is off his game today. Sadder than usual.

I suppose this ranks right up with accusing me of faking my father's death. Yeah, I'm sure she'd complain. She's dead you ****

HAHAHAHAHAHHA

Yeah, you've yet to post where I accused you of that. Please feel free to search for that baseless accusation one more time.
Next I suppose you'll be saying that I accused you of faking your grandmother's death.

And just for grins, find one post where I accuse you of hating the poor. (hint, accusing you of hating blacks, which is well documented, doesn't count)

As always, you just make **** up. Thou shall not bear false witness.

Ben isn't a Christian, he doesn't care about bearing false witness.

Curious. People get mad when the bank takes out 20 percent. They don't get mad when the government does the same.

I'm sure that if the government increased taxes accross the board by 20%, then a lot of people would complain. Not to mention that comparing what government provides to what banks provide, if I paid 20% to each, I know exactly who is giving me the crappier deal.

Also, right back at you: you constantly complain about how the government 'forces' you to 'pay for all sorts of things', but when suddenly lawmakers have it so that part of that money 'you' 'pay' gets diverted from poor people to banks, you think it's totally fine, and that they should complain?

MRT: You're a ****ty Christian
BK: Are you a Christian?
MRT: No
BK: Huzzah, then you're not allowed to criticize me!!!

If only that's how the world worked

BK: You're a ****ty President
Obama: Are you President?
BK: No
Obama: Huzzah, then you're not allowed to criticize me!

BK: This was a ****ty movie
Director: Have you ever directed a major motion picture?
BK: No
Director: Huzzah, then you're not allowed to criticize me!

BK: This food was terrible
Chef: Are you a professional chef?
BK: No
Chef: Huzzah, then you're not allowed to criticize me!

And so on

Sadly, the govt is worse at managing money than the poor.

Aren't these cards debit? It they can be used at point of sale that is probably 99% of their legitimate use so this is not the inconvenience the OP makes it out to be. In any case the law is stupid. If they want a cash cap that's fine but not a single transaction limit as it leads to the compounded fees. They are going to get the cash out for drugs or whatever if it's somehow allowed and that's what they want regardless of how hard you make it (addicts rob/suck dick/sometimes kill for it I doubt hitting multiple ATMs will seem a high hurdle), so if you are going to make cash withdrawal available just let them have it.

A lot of people use this money to pay for rent, which apparently tends to be cash-only in many places.
