Affordability is an all too often abused, by design, term. As in those on food stamps cannot afford to pay for almost anything. But it is easy to see what many can afford when they shop. |

"As in those on food stamps cannot afford to pay for almost anything. But it is easy to see what many can afford when they shop."
Precisely, tell us what YOU have PERSONALLY SEEN people purchase with their SNAP EBT card (food stamps) that you think is not appropriate. What stores were being used? How can you actually determine if a person is using an EBT card rather than a regular debit or credit card when they are paying for their purchases? |

May suit your case, but not what I said or inferred or alluded. Your style or pattern is concerning as it mis-represents one's intentions. Henceforth I will no longer respond to the incorrect presentation of my posts. |

Also missing the point that someone on the food stamp program could use another card or method of payment to pay for those things not aloud.....like wine, beer, cigarettes, lobster tails, etc. (all REAL examples from real live cashiers). Get It???? Food stamps for what is allowed. Other means for non allowed. Another reminder the subject is affordability. The inference of the second paragraph above is BS! |

Participating in exchanges - even as small as this forum - contributes to better informed voters - IMHO anyway. |

My only argument has been that a flat tax is more onerous on the middle class, and devastating to the budgets of the poor, then a progressive tax is confiscatory to the relatively wealthy. I'm all in favor of broadening the tax base and, if feasible, lowering tax rates, without pushing people further into poverty. That can be done with a progressive tax plan, not with a flat tax. With that, I am done. |

1. NOT COINED BY Rush Limbaugh !!!! 2. "Low information voters, also known as LIVs or misinformation voters, are people who may vote, but who are generally poorly informed about politics. The phrase is mainly used in the United States, and has become popular since the mid-1990s." Low information voter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Origins[edit] American pollster and political scientist Samuel Popkin coined the term "low-information" in 1991 when he used the phrase "low-information signaling" in his book The Reasoning Voter: Communication and Persuasion in Presidential Campaigns. Low-information signaling referred to cues or heuristics used by voters, in lieu of substantial information, to determine who to vote for. Examples include voters liking Bill Clinton for eating at McDonald's, and perceiving John Kerry and Barack Obama as elitist for wind-surfing and golfing respectively.[1] Also to be noted, used on both sides of the "aisle" "In September 2012, comedian Bill Maher, made fun of undecided voters on his HBO program Real Time calling them "low-information voters, otherwise known as dip****s."[13] Also in September, the NBC program Saturday Night Live ran a mock public service announcement featuring undecided low-information voters asking questions such as "When is the election?" and "Who is the president right now? Is he or she running?”[14][15] In January, 2013, Alicia Colon used the similar phrase "low-info" in her column, "Low-Info Voters Just Not Interested In Politics", for the Irish Examiner USA newspaper.[16]" Amazing how LOW INFORMATION posters will say anything. |

Small town closed minds are usually on the right fringe groupings. |
