I see that all the time when I'm on register at my job.

Okay, this is totally retarded.
Just because people are on a welfare program, it doesn't mean that they should have to answer to a code of ethics or standard of living that no one else has to adhere to. You don't put poor people on social programs in order to simply keep them sustinant(sp). It's so that they can live somewhat closer to where you're at financially. This includes being able to afford a videogame.
Seriously. You're saying that because a person has a NEED for help on acquiring food, they should not ever be able to have a simple luxury or to have something like a beer or shot of whiskey. SERIOUSLY. Their standard of living pretty much sucks. If anyone deserves a fucking drink, it'd be someone who needs welfare in order to survive. Drinking is one of the most common things a person can indulge in and it's quite natural and socially acceptable on certain levels. Why should people on welfare not be able to indulge in this?
