mrvitalis: Well, as long as you don't have to pay the IRS back for the food and the money, I would say that to the average American, it is free. Now why were we given the money to begin with? So we spend it and help generate tax revenue which feeds the system in return. So technically, again, I say it is a win-win for all When you say most of us don't pay tax, are you speaking of here in the U.S?? 3 Likes |

raumdeuter: From my understanding, a network of private organizations working with the USDA to help end hunger in america. It differs from the Nigerian situation in some many ways. One being that the USDA supports the food banks on a regular basis by sourcing food from all corners of the country. Another being that this network of food banks provide food on a regular basis to millions of americans across the nation. This is not simply a response to theh current crisis-- it is instead a regular service available all year round to communities across america. 2 Likes |

raumdeuter: Correct, but not on an individual basis. The real tax payers get no benefits. Benefits are income/poverty level based, so someone with low income is likely to pay less taxes and also get more benefits. 1 Like |

The U.S Govt is not giving food to anyone. However, there are several not for profit bodies giving food. Yes, it is true all the schools are still feeding their respective students. All you have to do is go and get it. My kid's school do theirs between 11am up till 12.30pm everyday. Sometimes when you do not go for about 2 days in a row the schools starts calling and pleading almost that you come gey the meals. 5 Likes 1 Share |

mrvitalis:How many of the politicians pay basic tax, yet they’ve all shared money for palliatives to themselves. These same people have lived on various unnecessary allowances for many years since they went into politics and yet they can’t provide 1/8 of the nation with quality and quantity palliatives for just a month of lockdown. Don’t say most of us don’t pay tax, there are millions of middle class income earners who have been paying their taxes for years, what palliatives were given to them by your miserable government? With the above comment of yours, I assume you’re a government official living large on many allowances and bloated salaries, but if you’re just a random man and happy with the conditions of Nigerians in this lockdown, considering your comments here, sir, I’m sorry but you’re irredeemable. 3 Likes |

Lordave: Bros don't get too emotional. The person u quoted is not any government official... He may well be more hungry than u can ever be but his ignorance is defending the Hunger for him. U see people like that will often find reasons toexplain and accept their situations rather than make moves to change it. They are wired that way...

Kobojunkie: No but in a system that works where no teacher or principal is stealing the food they want the food to achieve the purpose for which it was provided. Perhaps you do not know that schools in America provide breakfast and lunch till 12th grade. It is this same food they are now giving since students are at home 1 Like |

mrvitalis: You guys should stop with this foolish assumption that Nigerians dont pay tax unless you don't pay. You pay more than enough for electricity which you do not consume. What about transporters that pays for tickets before they can start work for the day. Your tax is automatically deducted from your salary if you are a civil servant. If you are sending or receiving money, taxes are automatically deducted every end of the month. The same thing is applicable to recharging your phone lines..... If I go on and on the list is much. The only difference between a US citizen and A Nigerian citizen that pays tax is that the US citizens actually see were their taxes are going and what it is used for, but for a Nigerian citizen you don't even know what your monies are used for or were it is going and that is why you have this foolish assumption that Nigerians do not pay tax. 3 Likes |

The US government dnt food to its citizens, instead people on welfare have card they use to buy food at the supermarkets. It's only food banks that gives food. The unlce should be ashamed that he can't buy the cheapest thing in the US which is food. most Nigerians I know gives food to the food banks. |

Izigha: The US government through the USDA does in fact fund foodbanks across the nation, IN ADDITION, to the food stamp system. According to the USDA website, that is at least $500,000,000 goes to providing food to food banks each year. |
