“Hnurr durr, I saw someone who had NICE STUFF using food stamps! Therefore I can only conclude that on any given day, they have enough money to pay full price, up front, for the Nice Stuff new off the shelf, and are just abusing the welfare system. Everyone knows that poor people only associate with other poor people, there’s NO WAY they could know two or three people who can afford to buy them a pair of sneakers or a phone every couple of years, ESPECIALLY for birthdays or Christmas, which poor people are legally forbidden to participate in!”
“Also, everybody knows that if you lose your job, you must immediately
get rid of any nice stuff you may have acquired over the years, even if it’s
useful! I mean, that’s the law!”
