so? I say this to point out that if they're doing something that is to be deprecated there's nothing wrong with disincentivizing it, so long as we keep helping them get their needs met or towards self sufficiency.
For example nothing wrong with doubling tax on gas if we also improve public transit.
My main point is that regressive, nor disincentivizing the poor are wrong things to do if they're causing issues for society.
