Seriously how could any of you support chipping people? Use your head, people on food stamps won't be the only group tagged, just the first. Next, you want a gun, here have this rfid tag. You want to take a flight, tag for you. It will only grow. Seriously think about it instead of having a knee jerk reaction because of problems with the food stamp system.
Both the recipients and the politicraps are equally to blame imo.

Okay, well my whole point to you was, it is not the recipients of benefits to blame for this.. It is the people that voted for them who's fault it is for tax dollars going to this...
Look at how corrupt politicians are using these programs to get votes and empower themselves.. That is the real problem..
RFID tags come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Animal tracking tags, inserted beneath the skin, can be as small as a pencil lead in diameter and one-half inch in length. Tags can be screw-shaped to identify trees or wooden items, or credit-card shaped for use in access applications. The anti-theft hard plastic tags attached to merchandise in stores are RFID tags.

On most newer cars, that is true. One of several reasons that I will not own anything newer than 1994.

I've been told that the new cars have tracking devices in them as well as some of the parts on the car.

that is just the first step what about people that use Credit Cards should i have to pay a high percent rate to cover some ones lost stolen cards, if so then i am for them to get chipped as well.

A chip to stop people from stealing my hard earned tax dollars?
I support it. I know people who get welfare and buy crack, for there children.
I have plenty of sympathy for those who CANNOT provide for themselves. I give to charity and to individuals that i come across who NEED assistance. Government is not the way to provide for those who need help. Government intervention leads to graft, leads to loss of personal freedoms, and leads to increased dependency. Private charity is the better solution.

Wow, no sympathy for the unfortunate. There will come a day when YOU might need assitance.
So to set you straight... singe man or woman can't find work and is hungry , he / she applies for food stamps, they get aproved, BUT the law states ( Clinton enacted this law) he/ she must perform 30 hrs of work that they send you to (thru Goodwill Charities) in order to remain on them. Sounds fair to me. Now if it is a singe father or mother, work is not required becase you must rasie the child. If it is a couple then one MUST sign up for the work program. Yes some cheat the system but it is getting harder to do.
Sorry to see you have no sympathy. Sad.

The liberty to have personal privacy. To be anonymous. To be left alone and not be branded as cattle. As I said, should you choose to be chipped, that is your choice. The only way it would ever be done to me is by force, thus depriving me of liberty by definition.

Actually, what liberties does having a chip remove?
Then they should have the choice not to give. Maybe they need every penny to feed their own kids? to keep a roof over their own heads? maybe they just do not want to support the indolent? I don't know. I do know that forcing people to do something they are opposed to doing is the very definition of tyranny.

Do a quick survey on your street
ask your neighbors how much they have given to charity this past month.
You will find the reason such things as food stamp programs and such were because people are about as charitable as a starving lion....there are exceptions (especially when there is a tax writeoff), but otherwise...no..people are not even slightly charitable.
And something about people starving in the streets of America tends to make us look bad. go figure
