Michigan man on food stamps despite winning $2 million in lottery (w/video)
   
And the jerk has the audacity to complain about government taking taxes from him - while still using food stamps! Sounds like a typical tea partier; he's got his and will take all he can for himself; those truly in need can no doubt go to hell.

Anyway:

AUBURN, Mich. -- A man who won $2 million on a Michigan lottery show has told TV5 that he still uses food stamps.

Leroy Fick of Bay County admitted he still swipes the electronic card at stores, nearly a year after winning a jackpot on "Make Me Rich!" He told TV5's Bill Walsh that more than half the prize went to taxes.

Fick said the Department of Human Services told him he could continue to use the card, which is paid with Michigan tax dollars.

"If you're going to ... try to make me feel bad, you aren't going to do it," said Fick.

Neighbor's told TV5 that they have seen Fick driving a new Audi convertible.

Sounds like a typical DUmmy to me.

26. I don't see it that way at all.
   
It's clear from the video that he's anti-tax and complaining about taxation on his winnings. The news station is legit. I don't see this as anti-food stamps, I see him as pro-greed. Sounds like a tea partier to me.

Nope still sounds like a DUmmy.

I have to admit that I am not familiar with this particular primitive. But to be honest most of them are starting to look alike to me. I know a shepherd knows all his flock but they still look like a bunch of sheep to me.

I shake my head every time they start saying how so and so "sounds like a tea partier".  Really, if we did a survey of members of the Tea Party and members of DU, which group would have more people on food stamps?

Sigh.  They always say that, "must be a teabagger."  They have NO IDEA what the movement is about, even though it's simple and plain-as-day.  Smaller accountable government, lower taxes.  Why is that so hard to understand for them?  A tea partier would NOT be taking foodstamps if he had just come into a pile of dough.  My God, they're dumb.

Exactly, neighbor.
