> My parents are working class, they lived on minimum wage or next to it all their life. Never, for once, they lived on welfare. And clearly no one else has ever, or will ever have a different experience than yours and if they ever do it's because they are worse people and deserve it right? I'd be willing to bet there are a lot of people on food stamps who work harder than many high income earners myself included. If I suddenly had to spend hours on public transportation just to get to work where I'd spend all day doing the kinds of demanding jobs I pay others to do for me I'd envy my old life of sitting on my ass on the internet while in air conditioning all day. Poor people often work their asses off because they have to just to get what little they're paid and keep what little they have.
