(22,000 posts)I had (notice past tense) a friend on Facebook before the election that was a foam at the mouth Libertarian who complained constantly about people on food stamps and how they were abusing the system. She had nothing but negative derogatory crap to say about poor people. As you can guess it got on my nerves. After election night she started in with the derogatory stuff about Obama (I'm not going to repeat what she said) and that was the final straw, I defriended her. It just makes me sick.
BTW one thing I never shared with her is that my mom who raised both my brother and I had to use welfare for a short period of time. I think people like that are simply clueless as to the fact that some people's families may have benefited from those programs.
