But when 1 person buys beer with their handout we must punish all poor people?

(35,359 posts)No calls for stricter regulation? No jail time?
And does that include the opinion of everybody? Or do a few people calling for punishment for CEOs when one does something wrong equal having a few people calling for punishment of "poor people" (understood to mean "entitlement recipients" when one does something wrong?
What does "rob" mean? Defrauding us by not following the terms of the contract? By breaking the law in dealing with us? Or by just following to the letter what we agreed to? Or not following the spirit of what we agreed to?
And is altering the regulations to ensure that the purpose of entitlements is held to a punishment? Are the regulations punishment to begin with?
And what is the purpose of things like WIC? To ensure that kids get decent food? Or to ensure that they have some luxuries?
So many squishy terms.

So many questions you ask, but never the right ones.
