>food stamp receipients

>folks on social security

I notice that you call some people "folks" while others are simply "receipients". Do you think poor people are human?

Certainly. But humans are supposed to be responsible for their own outcome, more often than not. America is the land of opportunity. Many people who are otherwise more than able to work, choose to Trustifarian it up and be a pimple on the backside of society when they COULD choose to be productive members. I am perfectly happy to pay taxes and lend a hand up. It's when I'm obligated to give a hand-out that I get cranky.

So you don't actually know of anyone who is abusing the system in the way that you claim? You're... just making stuff up?

I thought this "argument" around welfare queens had its day in the 90s...not the 2020s
