I come from the Land of Food Stamps.. WV.
No one in my particular family is on them... and I'm glad i got out...
But I could go home right now.. and I'd say 80% of a 200 home neighborhood is on foodstamps..
Places in Appalachia have ZERO structured middle class.. You have poverty stricken.. then a FEW coalmining jobs and a few service jobs (teacher, nurse)
The rest just pop out ginormous amounts of kids to pad their check..
I'd love to see the statistic if you factored out Appalachia or the South...
Maybe 6 houses down from my parents home.. there's trailer on a strip of land. The family had 12 kids. Strange men pull up to the house daily... the little girls get in the cars... and they always have pallets and bleach bottles out front.
So not only are these scum making money off of food stamps... but prostitution and drugs too.
It's disgusting..
A single wide trailer for 14 people... And not one "of age" person in the house has a job..
