    Are there numbers way off? I paid tens of thousands of dollars in taxes last year which is only possible because my parents had access to food stamps when I was a kid. Over a lifetime it could definitely work out to half a million.

      Pretty sure it’s a lot more than that. Food stamps aren’t the only expense.
