Well…of course we do!. It’s Number 2!

This is a public service announcement
With guitar
Know your rights all three of them

Number 1
You have the right not to be killed
Murder is a CRIME!
Unless it was done by a
Policeman or aristocrat
Know your rights

And Number 2
You have the right to food money
Providing of course you
Don’t mind a little
Investigation, humiliation
And if you cross your fingers
Rehabilitation

Know your rights
These are your rights
Wang

Know these rights

Number 3
You have the right to free
Speech as long as you’re not
Dumb enough to actually try it.

Know your rights
These are your rights
All three of 'em
It has been suggested
In some quarters that this is not enough!
Well…

Get off the streets
Get off the streets
Run
You don’t have a home to go to
Smush

Finally then I will read you your rights

You have the right to remain silent
You are warned that anything you say
Can and will be taken down
And used as evidence against you

Listen to this
Run

Mr Shithead should just ask his constituents

Kentucky’s improving economy, like the national economy, is lowering the poverty rate in the commonwealth. But the Bluegrass State remains among the poorest in the country.

According to data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, 17.2 percent of Kentuckians lived in poverty in 2017, an improvement over the 18.5 percent state poverty rate in 2016. But that rate still leaves Kentucky the fifth poorest state in the United States.

If you’re young, the numbers are worse though also improving: 22.4 percent of Kentucky children lived in poverty last year, down from 25 percent in 2016. And where you live affects the likelihood that you live in poverty in Kentucky.

Absolutely. About 44% of SNAP recipients are children. It is dumb Democrat rules that keep these children from working. If they are working 6 12-hour days per week, even a low wage is enough to buy food, and they have the Sabbath off to attend church and pray to Dog for more food and maybe some medicine to keep mom or dad alive.

I imagine he got in line for his share of the $12 billion Trump farmer bailout, though.

Many SNAP recipients are employed, but qualify for assistance because they are not paid a living wage. If Rep. Massie wants to reduce the number of people receiving food stamps, tell him to raise the minimum wage!

LOL. This is a great idea, cuz you know what? Yes, access to basic food provisions should be a right. Period. Stupid white nationalist fucktard thinks he’s so sarcastic, snarky and clever. 16M AMERICAN CHILDREN are malnourished in this country, and yet this plutocrat’s buttplug thinks they have no right to not be malnourished, while billionaires should have a right to tax cuts paid for by the middle class? I’d stick this fucker in a cage and watch him starve to death if I could. Wanna guess what his answer would be about a right to food after about a week?

Of course, the Republican in this case had a name that actually means government money for the less fortunate. :smile:
