Sure. I can support needs-based tests. My point is that we shouldn't use the food stamp threshold as signifier of poverty. This is a common tactic that left-wingers use to prove that wages are insufficient, and that companies are exploting society because some full time workers are eligible for food stamps. This fails on 3 fronts: 1. The threshold for food stamp eligibility is sufficiently high that normal wages qualify, eg. 70k. 2. Technically any wage can qualify for food stamps if one's household size is large enough. 3. We also believe in equal pay for equal work.
