Somebody with three kids earning 26k is in extreme poverty. If them being a net receiver of government funds is considered a bad thing.... Christ.

- trollbridge 2mo agoDid anyone say it’s a bad thing? About 15-18% earn at that threshold of under. With the assistance, though, the amount of net is about the same as someone earning $80k-$100k but gets no assistance at all.
- UncleMeat 2mo agoThis sounds like you are saying it is a bad thing.
- Ferret7446 2mo agoIs it not a bad thing in the general case? People who produce net positive value for society subsidize the unsustainable reproduction of those who are a net drain. It is a very sterile perspective, but reality doesn't care about empathy, and you can't feed people with good feelings.
- UncleMeat 2mo agoI do not agree that contribution to society is measured in dollars.
