Food Stamps and Minimum Wage.....

Hey there all you bloggers out there. For this post, I've got a real brain fart of a  topic. An article published in the Smirking Chimp, discusses a primitive benefit of increasing minimum wage. Trina Dupy's "Don’t Like Food Stamps? Raise the Minimum Wage", implies just what the title says.  The only thing wrong with the way Dupy introduces the topic, is the fact that she is nonchalantly talks from an opposed  point of view, giving negative connotation to food stamps.  First she begins with identifying with the reader, whom must be opposed to food stamps or the distribution of  Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits.  Next she elaborates on the supposed issues of  food stamps. She uses examples like people freeload and that sometimes pride is a dominant factor when considering applying for food stamps.  She almost makes it seem like food stamps should be dissolved, because of these factors.  Claiming that Americans can barely feed themselves, her offered solution recommends that the government should raise minimum wage to $10.10/hr. Dupy claims that this is a positive ultimatum. Personally, I feel like her bias notion of getting rid of food stamps refers back to her childhood. A little research show that Dupy was indeed of wealthy status as a child, travel from country to country. So its probably safe to say that Of course Dupy's views seem honest, but in all do reality it does not seem as if she'd been in a crisis in which she could not buy food. Her lack of experience proves that she is ignorant of the struggle. In this world we live in, unemployment rates are sky rocketing. It is hard now in days to even grasp a hold of a good job that pays the bills.  One factor Dupy fails to acknowledge is what about our disabled people who can't work or support themselves wholly. Why would someone want to snatch the little thing that is actually helping lower class citizens? Another topic of discussion. WHY DOES SHE EVEN CARE? This is were the brain might get a little foggy. Yes, an increased minimum wage would probably help a lot of us workers, but why is the distribution of food stamps a big deal or why is it something that should eliminated from our governments aid and assistance. After all food stamps may have gone out to the wrong civilians, but all in all they've supported many families over the years. Im a firm believer in getting it while its good, and I'm not going to lie and say that if I qualified for food stamps, that I wouldn't accept them for as long as I could. Anyways check out this article and let us know what ya think.
