David Edwards — Indiana Gov. Mike Pence: We’re ‘ennobling’ poor people by cutting off food stamps


This is the current GOP talking point, used by Joni Edwards in her successful bid for Tom Harkin's vacated senate seat from Iowa and Scott Walker's campaign to retain the Wisconsin governorship. 

Here it is reiterated by Indiana Gov. Mike Pence. Both Walker and Pence are likely to seek the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.

The operative words are "government dependency." Expect to hear this  a lot more.
