But guilt is one of the Left’s favorite weapons! Before you lay out the gun control placemats and plan your Obamacare talking points for dinner Thursday, take a moment to think about how many food stamp meals your Thanksgiving feast could have purchased. That would be 35, by the way — if you assume Thanksgiving dinner costs $49.04, feeds one and provides no leftovers for future meals.

Why are some people so bothered that others work hard, save and have actual intact families to celebrate with? @RBPundit @ezraklein

And don’t forget about churches and charities; that’s easy to do sometimes when government runs so much of our lives.
@RBPundit @ezraklein I bet 3.5 million turkey dinners are given away this week by private charitable groups.

Today’s lesson?
@ezraklein So I'm supposed to feel guilty for being able to provide my family with a decent meal? You suck at life.
