I get the point, but this is a terrible goalpost to be using. Medicaid and SNAP have both expanded enrollment by making it easier to qualify. Being on government assistance is neither here nor there. I realize it's being used a proxy for poverty, but that's not going to be very accurate. There are multiple ways to qualify for these programs. Being a sold bread-winner for a family of 5 is a different scenario to a secondary breadwinner for a family of 2. We have enough direct data to compare their compensation levels that don't involve shaming people for needing help.
Also, this guy has no citations.
