one of my butthurt republican friends is complaining on facebook and i really want to call her out on this bullshit.

she says her family is poor but cannot get foodstamps because her dad owns a small business.

She would have to be really fucking poor and her fathers business would have to be really shitty.

So wait, you want to argue with the person, but you're not actually sure if you would be correct on the issue?

Just want to make sure I'm understanding you here.

Because he probably has too much income and resources to be eligible

right i don't believe that being a small business owner disqualifies you.

i believe it is based on income and if your income takes you over the limit that you are ineligible.

i believe that they make decent money but struggle like most people but think they are being labeled as rich and spewing republican bullshit because of it.

you could just assume they are morons and ignore them...

Tell them that they're hypocrites for having a small business while being Republicans and wanting Food Stamps and then bitching about how they don't qualify for something they in general disagree with for being an entitlement system that wastes tax payers money on people who don't need it.

Oh, and:
