Ok, but to the OP... what sort of compromise would you like to see that will result in people to stop believing they can get everything free, and when they are told "you can't use food stamps for cigs" they just simply say "ok, thank you" and walk away or pay cash? How do we get there? I mean they are already getting food stamps - FREE MONEY. That's not good enough. They want to be able to use that FREE MONEY for anything they want. When they are told 'no' they trash the place. What, in the name of "Democrats act like Democrats and Republicans act like Republicans" caused this mentality?
