GOPer Who Got Millions in Farm Subsidies Thinks the Poor Should Starve
Rather Than Get Food Stamps
May 20, 2013 |

Stephen Fincher [3], a deranged Republican congressman from Tennessee, is
very angry that the federal government is committed to preventing poor
people from starving to death:

Republican Congressman Stephen Fincher of Tennessee, who supports
cuts to the program, had his own Bible verse from the Book of
Thessalonians to quote back to Vargas: “The one who is unwilling to work
shall not eat,” he said.

The program in question is SNAP, better known as food stamps. Fincher and
his ultra-right-wing friends in the House are furious about the fact that
the worst economic crisis in 80 years has resulted in more Americans
needing food stamps. The whole point of programs like SNAP and other
automatic stabilizers, of course, is that they kick in when the economy
is struggling and people need help. Fincher is shocked and horrified by
this heinous policy of ensuring that poor people and their children don't
starve. Food is to be earned! Sure, this is the richest country in the
history in the world, but if we provide our citizens with food to eat,
then freedom is obviously dead.

He fulminates about people who are allegedly "unwilling to work" sucking
off the government teat with impunity. This is a patently dishonest
representation of the SNAP [4] program. Most people who receive food
stamps cannot be dismissed as losers who are "unwilling to work." Nearly
half (47%) of all food stamp recipients are children. Another 8% are 60
years of age or older. The "working poor" - people who live in a
household with income from work - represent another 41%. Between
children, the elderly, the working poor, and people who want a job but
cannot find one - someone should tell Fincher that there are still [5]
more than 3 unemployed job seekers for every 1 opening - that leaves very
few people who can be accurately described as being "unwilling" to work.
It's also worth noting that the average monthly SNAP benefit is a
whopping $287. It takes a deeply disturbed person to crusade against
providing this class of people with food to eat, when the economy is this
battered, and when the broad economic benefits [6] of the program have
been so well established (at least in the reality-based community).

Now, this would not normally be worthy of mention. Hardly a day goes by
without some Republican sadist expressing fury that poor people have it
so good. Devising new ways to make the peasants suffer is what makes
Republicans wake up in the morning. What's fascinating about this
particular case, though, is Fincher's background.

The reason this is even more egregious than the usual Republican class
warfare is that Fincher himself is a poster boy for government
dependency. It's not just that he's benefited here and there from some
government help. That sort of low-level hypocrisy is almost to be
expected from these types. But Fincher has received millions - $3.2 [7]
million as of June 2010 - in federal crop subsidies. The people who refer
to themselves as Tea Partiers [8] threatened to derail his candidacy over
this, but then they realized that they have no principles, and supported
him anyway. He's now a member of the "Tea Party Caucus," which,
amazingly, is something that actually exists. Fincher's brother and
father also snatched another $6.7 million in subsidies as Stephen geared
up to run for Congress on a platform of eliminating "wasteful government
spending." The "wasteful spending" that he had in mind, of course, was
that which serves policy aims with which he disagrees, such as keeping
poor people alive.

House Republicans are on a mission to slash the SNAP program by $20
billion over the next decade. A Senate committee, just last week, voted
to cut it by "only" $4 billion. If some sort of vicious "compromise" is
reached between the sociopaths in the House who are demanding human
sacrifice on a massive scale, and the "moderates" in the Senate who are
only comfortable with letting some people starve, it will not be pretty.
This is not hyperbole, either. SNAP really does keep poor people,
including millions of children, from going hungry, and it's under attack
from ultra-right-wing ideologues. This program deserves the support and
activism of progressives as much as any government program in existence.

What about the unable to work? Or the looking for work? There are
millions of those. Republicans just can't stop telling Americans to go
fuck themselves. Eventually, even the coverall wearing, tobacco
chawing dipshits in Tennessee are going to figure out what the
Republicans are actually saying to them. Eventually, the bible
thumping, the playing of the national anthem, the "smaller government"
bullcrap and the world war two footage aren't going to be enough to
drown out the "go fuck yourself" message that always seems to be
tucked into everything the GOP does and says.

Okay, there it is. It's all about your personal prejudices against

You have removed yourself from the debate.

It's why, even though Obama is a shit president and half the Democrats
are corporate sellouts, they won big in the last election.

Can't drown out the "go fuck yourself"--not even with dozens of bullshit

There's something very wrong with the Food Stamp program. I was in
line at the store this weekend while a lady was yammering on her
Iphone the whole time in checkout. I couldn't help but notice on the
screen that she paid for the bill with her Food Stamps debit card. If
she can afford an Iphone, she doesn't need my tax money.

We have one of those here in NC. He got run out of our Republican
legislature for being a thief and a sleazebag. He's also a Stephen
--- Stephen LaRoque.

Matter of fact LaRoque should be on trial for perjury and money-
laundering right now in federal court:
http://www.newsobserver.com/2013/05/18/2901858/laroques-federal-theft-trial-gets.html

Yep, there he is with his attorney, Joe Cheshire V. They got a jury
seated yesterday in the federal courthouse of Greenville, NC, and
today they'll be taking testimony on this rogue.

Do a GOOGLE or BING on this scoundrel.

"RALEIGH, N.C. — As a powerful member of the Republican leadership in
the N.C. House, Rep. Stephen A. LaRoque railed for years against big
government and those who take taxpayer handouts."

Explain exactly why an Iphone is a necessity. Ensure you demonstrate
how it is needed to provide for basic necessities in life. Take your
time and ensure you provide credible cite to support your position.

Then you should ban Mississippi from being a state in the Union since
they take from you $2 for every $1 they pay the feds in taxes. In
fact, you should also sever ties with Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas,
Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina and Idaho as well, all Repugnant
states, for sucking your wallet dry because they refuse to EARN IT

It's called the 21st century, Stevie. Outside of the gater swamps where
you live, people use mobiles more and more. Like landbased phones, autos,

necessities, to the great resentment of the rich men who paid too much

Any one of your scurrilous personal attacks. There are hundreds of
