Ohhh also we need to subsidize their businesses so they can serve NAME BRAND food and when the name brand fails we need to bail them out 2 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] |
I've done a sizable amount of volunteering at local "food kitchens" for the poor. I genuinely feel for some of those who have real struggles. Then there are those who just come off as lazy and needy. I wouldn't consider the two groups one and the same.
But the idea of middle class paying taxes after having worked their whole life. Then government saying we're going to put some of that money towards people who don't work or are trespassing on American soil. Just blows my mind. Granted I've been working for 15+ years. I can't imagine how jaded someone who has been working for 60 years must feel.
In terms of utilizing the poor as a work force. It can work, It's usually people with a good moral compass who show up for that work though. Those aforementioned lazy needy people don't usually volunteer to do "work".
