You know, people who are looking at either receiving SNAP benefits, or starving to death because the majority of their income (if they have income) goes elsewhere. You don't have a right to know these things about other people, and you don't have a right to threaten or blackmail people who use it in order to further your own personal political philosophy.
Nobody should be ashamed simply because they are on welfare, or receiving benefits of any kind. A person should never be ashamed of doing what they must do to survive. You may as well tell a person that they should be ashamed to be alive.
