I assume that if things keep going the way that they have been in the last five years then food stamps will also be coming to the UK. As I see it it's a method used by politicians to prevent the poor from participating in the wider economy, by ensuring that they may only have access to politically approved resources.
- repsilat 13y agoI take it you're in favour of "just give them cash" programs? That people should be able to decide for themselves what to spend their money on? That's a position I can respect (if not entirely agree with), but I wonder how consistently you apply it. What do you think about childcare subsidies? If a government gives poorer parents a rebate or a discount (functionally identical to a voucher) on care services or education, is this patronising because the government isn't trusting them to spend the money wisely? Does this infringe upon their agency, or cost them essential self-respect?
