HuffPost - Breaking News, U.S. and World News | HuffPost Here is a guy who understands the spirit of the argument. Get the poor away from us. Put them in prisons and teach prison guards to give them their superior judgement. teach them hygiene too. They know so little about how they should act.

Oh man. “Please sir, can I have some more?”

It would seem that most would not want people in America to starve to death. But if they are getting your tax money ,they should look more like the people who were in concentration camps. They should be waiflike. If they are pudgy, that would indicate they are overfed . My tax money should not support people in such grand fashion.
A debate about how you can tell who is overweight completely misses the point. Which is exactly what you are doing.

I didn’t miss the point. That was my point. I just respond to personal attacks.
Why should people starve? Do we have land that they can go out and farm to raise their own food? Do we have jobs for everybody to do so they can buy their own food? Should the food industry suffer and everyone else pay more for food because our economy is rigged to provide imbalanced benefit? And ‘grand fashion’? You must be tempted to go on the dole and live in the lap of luxury.
