On the bright side at least with those taxes you can be happy that it isn't just christians money that is helping them out. The atheist has his share taken too

I think you are confused.
Federal benefit costs are projected to rise to $36 billion in the 2009 fiscal year from $34 billion this year.
Budget was 3.4 trillion.
1 penny of a dollar?
They take 100 times what the benefits are to the poor.It is more accurate to say the food stamp recipient recieves money which was borrowed and he will have to pay back or someone will. That isn't charity.
