Oh I'm all for the rich not getting handouts either. I'm equally or more bothered by that.
Both have the effect of harming the professional, responsible, hard working, broader middle class.
And even hurting the professional, responsible, hard working, working poor. Because if you're working really hard for $10/hr and someone else is getting a handout, that means you have nothing extra to show for your efforts except exhaustion at the end of your day.
- burnished 5y agoIts clear to me that you don't really have an idea about the scales involved here, one, because you seem ambivalent about which group bothers you more (hint, it should be the people causing the most harm, no this isn't the poor people on assistance), and two because you seem to think that the working poor are typically making as much as $10/hr. Got some real "how much does a banana cost" vibes here. To be less acrimonious and more specific, when the people that Jimmy Johns employs require public assistance to make ends meet, who do you accuse of accepting hand outs? If it is the people in poverty I think you've gotten tricked into forgetting the people with the power to change things.
