Not really... most of my voting has been aligned with moderate redistribution. But I’m more for taking the destitute and giving them a minimal lifestyle (housed, fed, clothed, small amount of entertainment) than taking people with minimal lifestyles and giving them more for no additional economic output.
I don’t think there should be people getting too few calories in the US, or living in mold infested slums, but I don’t see a problem with a minimum wage worker living in a small bedroom with shared bathrooms and beans/rice with chicken three times a week.
- jimbofisher1 8y agoThe problem with this assumption is that you imagine all minimum wage workers are 18 year olds living on their own. In reality there are countless(millions?) of people trying to support a family on those wages and are forced to turn to government assistance to make up the difference. As a libertarian I'm sure you hate the idea of people using government assistance more than forcing corporations to pay them a fair wage in the first place.
