TYSON HAS LONG BEEN IDENTIFED WITH THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.
Tyson Foods Faces Boycott After Firing 1,200 Americans, ‘Would Like to Employ’ 42,000 Migrants - AND BIDEN - MAYORKAS - SCHUMER HAVE USHERED OVER THE BORDER 15 MILLION TO PICK FROM.
"During their years in the White House, the Clintons shifted
the Democratic Party further to the right, repudiating any program of social reform or redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top in favor of traditional Republican nostrums. Their strategy of “triangulation” included new draconian prison sentencing laws and the termination of the sixty-year-old federal welfare program called Aid to Families with Dependent Children, driving millions of the poorest Americans into destitution."
"At the same time, the Clintons oversaw the final dismantling of any serious banking regulation, marked by the repeal of
the 1930s Glass-Steagall Act and its separation of commercial and investment banking."
"Since the end of the Clinton presidency, Hillary and Bill have parlayed their White House tenure into a personal fortune in the hundreds of millions of dollars. The two have collected over $140 million in the 15 years since the end of the Clinton administration, while workers were losing their jobs, retirement savings and homes. A major part of this windfall has come in the form of speaking fees from big corporations and banks. In the first 15 months after she left her post as Obama’s secretary of state in 2012, Hillary Clinton took in $5 million in such rewards for services rendered." BILLARY, HILLARY AND BARACK OBAMA HAVE HANDED MILLIONS OF JOBS AND BILLIONS IN WELFARE TO INVADING MEXICANS. WHERE DID THESES JOBS COME FROM? MEXICAN GANGS IN LA RAZA "The Race" OCCUPIED LOS ANGELES ROUTINELY MURDER BLACK AMERICANS TO CLEANSE THEIR HOODS! VIVA LA RAZA SUPREMACY? WATCH THE CLINTONS HISPANDER AND OFFER OBAMA'S AMNESTY TO THEIR LA RAZA PARTY BASE!
Make no mistake about it: Clinton slapping BLM with the truth has nothing to do with him giving a rat's derrière about black lives or his party seriously dealing with issues plaguing
black communities. Clinton was simply defending his wife's presidential
campaign. For decades, Bill, Hillary, and their fellow Democrats have
viewed black Americans only as useful idiots to further their
socialist/progressive agenda, opposing America as founded.
Democrats silent as one million lose food stamp benefits in the US
By

4 April 2016
Some 22 states began terminating benefits for “Able-Bodied Adults
Without Dependents,” or ABAWDs, in the jargon of the US Department of
Agriculture, which administers the federally funded food stamp program,
or Supplementary Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as it is formally
known.
BLOG: IN AMERICA, NO DAMNED LEGAL NEED APPLY!!!!
These adults, aged 18 to 49 years and without children, are generally
the poorest section of the working class, earning only 17 percent of
the official poverty rate, an average of barely $150-170 per month in
income. But they are eligible for only 90 days of food stamp benefits
unless they have paid employment or job training for at least 80 hours
in a month. The 90-day clock began running January 1, so adults who no
longer qualify under this rule began being terminated in state after
state April 1.
The 22 states include Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas,
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Washington and West Virginia.
Another 22 states (see map) had already enforced work requirements to
cut food stamp benefits for ABAWDs in 2015 or earlier. Those states
account for 30 percent of the US population, while the states that are
imposing work requirements this year account for another 35 percent.

The numbers in some of the larger states are staggering. Florida
alone will cut off benefits to an estimated 300,000 childless adults;
Tennessee 150,000 and North Carolina 110,000. New York state will cut
off more than 50,000, including 3,000 people in Manhattan, home to the
world’s biggest concentration of billionaires. Missouri cuts off 60,000;
Alabama 40,000 and Massachusetts 23,000.
The work requirements for food stamp recipients were waived for most
states during the deep recession that followed the 2008 financial crash.
States had to have an official unemployment rate above 10 percent, or
at least 20 percent above the national average, or demonstrate a weak
labor market under other criteria set down by the Department of Labor.
The number of childless adults eligible for food stamps jumped from
1.7 million in 2007 to 4.9 million in 2013, then began to decline to 4.7
million in 2014, largely because states like Kansas and Ohio began to
impose work requirements.
The harsh “work for food” requirements were first introduced for food
stamps under the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of
1996. This is the notorious “welfare reform” bill sponsored by then-US
Rep. John Kasich, who is now Ohio’s governor and a Republican candidate
for president, and signed into law by President Bill Clinton, husband of
the current frontrunner for the Democratic presidential nomination.
It is particularly noticeable that none of the presidential
candidates of either capitalist party, including the self-proclaimed
“democratic socialist” Bernie Sanders, has made an issue of the food
stamp cutoff that is plunging hundreds of thousands overnight into
hunger and destitution.
Senator Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are in
the midst of a campaign in the April 19 New York primary, but neither
has said a word on behalf of the more than 50,000 New Yorkers who began
losing their food stamp benefits Friday.
On Tuesday, Bill Clinton will campaign for his wife in Erie County,
which includes the city of Buffalo, devastated by the collapse of the
steel industry. Some 2,800 Erie County residents were cut off food
stamps April 1, but it is unlikely that the former president, who has
raked in more than $100 million in income since he left the White House,
will have anything to say about it.
Hillary Clinton gloried in the “welfare reform” legislation in her 2003 memoir Living History
(for which she was paid $8 million). She wrote that Aid to Families
with Dependent Children, the program the bill abolished, “had helped to
create generations of welfare-dependent Americans … I strongly argued
that we had to change the system, although my endorsement of welfare
reform came at some personal cost.” The “cost,” of course, was to her
political credibility as a supposed advocate of the poor.
Clinton claimed that the legislation her husband signed “was a
critical first step to reforming our nation’s welfare system. I agreed
that he should sign it and worked hard to round up votes for its
passage—though he and the legislation were roundly criticized by some
liberals, advocacy groups for immigrants and most people who worked with
the welfare system.”
Sanders has criticized Hillary Clinton repeatedly for giving speeches
to Wall Street audiences in return for six-figure fees, as well as
raking in campaign contributions from the financial and fossil fuel
industries. But he has not sought to make a connection between Clinton’s
close ties to the super-rich and the record of the first Clinton
administration, particularly its attack on the poorest sections of the
working class.
Nor has Sanders, in general, made an issue of the cuts in vital
social programs, particularly those implemented with the collaboration
of the Obama administration, like the $8.7 billion cut in food stamp
benefits pushed through in 2014 as part of a bipartisan deal with
congressional Republicans, or this year’s drastic cutback in food stamp
eligibility for childless adults.
Food stamp recipients, and particularly childless adults on food
stamps, have become targets of abuse for big business politicians of
both parties. Several of the states now implementing work requirements
have gone well beyond the regulations set down by the federal Department
of Agriculture or the provisions of the welfare reform law.
State governments are permitted to seek exemptions from benefit
cutoffs for regions of the state with particularly high concentrations
of unemployment, even if the state as a whole no longer qualifies. In
New York state, for example, the boroughs of Brooklyn, Queens and the
Bronx have such exemptions, although Manhattan does not.
But many states, like Florida, have refused to seek such exemptions.
The Missouri legislature even passed a bill last year prohibiting the
state government from seeking a waiver, with legislators claiming it was
easy for the unemployed to find at least 20 hours work per week.
In Mississippi, with one of the highest unemployment rates and
highest poverty rates in the country, Republican Governor Phil Bryant
chose not to extend the waiver of the work requirement. “We want people
to go to work in Mississippi,” he said in a statement. “We want these
individuals to get a good job and live the American dream, not just be
dependent on the federal government.”

This town is filled with well intentioned people who believe they are doing the right thing, but far too many have lost their way after years in Washington. Politicians pay more attention to special interests groups and powerful lobbyists writing checks to their next campaigns than listening to the people back home who sent them here in the first place.
This dangerous power vacuum has fueled frustration and
created an entirely new breed of disenfranchised voters who
are fed up with the status quo. These are real people, their
anger is palpable, and it’s not going away anytime soon.
