Are you kidding me? Who isn't pissed off about the Federal Reserve, of the FACT that taxation is theft? The reason we are pissed at the misuse of food stamps is because you have to start somewhere, and curtailing Govt. Spending in one imoral and worthless area sets a precident to abolish it all together. Quick question, who do you know who has their hands in my pockets?

That's a nice straw-man you've made there! I really like the tufting, the distressed overalls add that quaint rustic feel.
Assuming that the existence of Govt. implies or was required for technological and social progress is logically incorrect and betrays a lack imagination, Govt. is not a prerequisite for cooperation if not then explain the wolf pack. the fact that A MAN believes he has the RIGHT to rule is hubris itself. Anarchy doesn't mean strolling up to Washington and blowing up a few buildings it means destroying the very idea in men's minds that any human could ever have the right to rule.

The forces that matter are large, affect almost nobody's day-to-day life and have huge amounts of inertia behind them. It's much easier to attack some picayune matter that politicians can change with little effort. To stick to welfare, food stamps are easy to fiddle with, but good luck getting Social Security reformed.
To your specific example, the ways the central banks use to steal purchasing power from the neediest to give to their buddies is rather arcane; just explaining the principles would make most people's eyes glaze over.

Food stamps are a part of government spending.

Only simple minds would get upset about how a dependapotamus spends their government provided funds and simple minds can't focus on more than one thing at a time.
Edit: this was sarcasm btw.
