What tax rate obligates me to pay for your soda?
So if you get any government help, your diet and entertainment choices are fully dictated? At what level do you flip that switch?

Self-sufficiency.

At whatever level you need assistance. Don't like it, get a job.
But the anger is misplaced. SNAP isn't untouchable because either party gives a shite about poor people, its untouchable because CocaCola and WalMart spend a fortune to make it so.

Just the part the government pays for.
This isn't hard. The whole rationale for the SNAP program was to provide nutrition for the poor. That's the way it was sold. It would have never passed it when it was proposed, Congresspersons said "And 20 years from now, we will be spending $15B per year on horseshite food and drink for people who we will then pay for their dialysis."
