There's a RW meme going about facebook re the old Food Stamps for steak and lobster...

The receipt is genuine, but you never hear the story behind it. You see, this happened in my neck of the woods. The guy was buying all this steak and lobster and reselling it for profit.

So, now that you know the truth behind the meme, go out there and tell people the rest of the story!
