We are supposed to be a capitalistic country.

If you are thinking of Romney's parents, they received welfare not food stamps

You are? Who says? I don't see it in the US constitution anywhere. I'd say the USA is a regulated "Free enterprise system" much like that of the rest of the developed world. I'd say that your country is a "Constitutional republic" and that is what you are supposed to be. There are many countries in this world that are Capitalistic that you would not like to be. Mexico for instance.

My idea of a good Capitalistic system is this. You can do whatever you want with your own property as long as it conforms to the laws of the country. If your enterprise does not benefit the citizens of the country in some way or another or if your enterprise actually brings great harm to the country we reserve the right to shut you down. In Canada if the people feel that a publiclly owned enterprise can serve the people better than a private enterprise then we create one. It's still free enterprise only the people own the enterprise. Most of our utilities are public corporations.

Most of the farm bill and agriculture spending goes to food stamps.

Quote:
The Obama Administration is proudly shattering welfare records with an astonishing number of people collecting public benefits long term, especially food stamps....A few months ago a U.S. Senator, who sits on the Senate Budget Committee, demanded an end to the madness which includes a partnership with Mexican consulates to encourage foreign nationals, migrant workers and non-citizen immigrants to apply for food stamps....The program has exploded with a record number of people—46 million and growing—getting free groceries from Uncle Sam. Adding insult to injury, a federal audit revealed last year that many who don’t qualify for food stamps receive them under a special “broad-based” eligibility program that disregards income and asset requirements



Democrats must be applauding themselves. Tax the rich & high income earners more to support more takers & non citizens.

Wait, when did the "wealthy" folks get a tax break that no one else got? Last I checked the deductions that many of you get are phased out at higher incomes so the "wealthy" folks can't take them, and there's a pretty vicious Alternative Minimum Tax that starts at a 26% income tax rate.
