7. Mike Davis' tweet:

"We should only help people who can’t help themselves.
It’s outrageous 40MM people get food stamps.
Get off your fat, ghetto asses.
Get a job.
Stop reproducing.
Change your shitty culture.
Stop giving food stamps to immigrants.
We don’t want you here, if you won’t work."

Some facts:

"SNAP recipients: White: 37 percent; African American: 26 percent; Hispanic: 16 percent; Asian: 3 percent; and Native American: about 2 percent. (About 16 percent of participants are categorized as 'race unknown.')"

"86 percent of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, elderly person, or person with disabilities.

"Almost one-third of SNAP households have earned income, though only 20 percent of households have gross monthly income above the federal poverty line. The average SNAP household’s monthly gross income is $872 and net income is $398.
