Dead wrong. We are using privately owned property and internet connections to expose a serious problem in the American government. And no .. the government isn't too happy about freedom of speech these days.
Here's an idea: move to another country. If you don't like it here, leave.
Here's an idea: (in the spirit of the holiday I self edited out my comment.)

It's worse that I ever suspected. In southern Texas, I stood in line at HEB, the state's largest supermarket chain (and a good one at that, nothing low end) and just watched the people in line. Out of 8 people paying for food, only 2 DIDN'T use food stamps.

But you'll complain when your taxes are used to help those who need it, instead of those who want an extra pair of high heels or maybe another drink at the bar,
Pure arrogance and assumption on your part.
I love how people are willing to complain at the slightest justification.
Seeing massive failure of the government .. or a massive power grab .. that results in a HUGE population of people requiring food stamps ... that's not a 'slight justification' for complaint. That's major. We have every right to complain about the state the government is in. We have every right to be wary of a government power grab. Only a fool would sit back and think it's all good and wonderful.
You think you have problems? Shut up. Be damn glad for what you have. I'm sick of your whining. Seriously.
Go play elsewhere.

If foodstamps didn't exist just think about how the poverty rate would sky rocket.
This isn't a 'get rid of food stamps' article. It's an article exposing just how many people are on foodstamps. (people don't realize how many in this country need them!!) It's exposing a massive failure on the part of the government which is a cause for so many people to have to use the foodstamps.
Fix the problem with the government.
Then the number of people on foodstamps will go down.

Amid Tax Talks, a Cry of 'Save My 401(k)!'-
Published: Tuesday, 27 Nov 2012 | 7:45 AM ET
Reuters
As the debate around tax reform grows more heated, broker-dealers and other companies that service retirement plans offered by employers are increasingly concerned that the tax benefits of 401(k) plans are on the chopping block.
An industry group that normally works behind the scenes, the American Society of Pension Professionals and Actuaries, on Monday launched a media campaign intended to educate U.S. employers and workers that the federal government might consider changing the tax benefits of retirement savings accounts

see...its not a CT pipe dream..... the socialists & progressives tha t are followers of the globalists are going to finance their hekk-on-earth with the individual capitalists life savings
then they will deny that tax increases affect the middle class to the tune of Federal revenues of ~$85Bn in year 2013 alone

Helping the less fortunate is one thing. Giving out food stamps to 47 million people is something else entirely. If you can't see that many of those people are taking advantage of the system then God help you in life. What will it take, 80 million on food stamps? 100 million? After 4 more years of economic misery under Obama we just might see it.
