[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working class who are just barely making ends meet (but without assistance) are the most bitter toward welfare. I was raised by parents like this. So much disdain for welfare because they worked very hard are still only had barely enough for the same existence. Back when grocery stores started allowing credit cards in my childhood, my mom totally judged those people and told me that anyone who used a CC couldn’t afford their groceries. It’s funny how the world has changed.[/quote]

This is still very true. People ranting about billionaires are missing the point. We have the working working classes who are doing what they have always been told: work hard, keep your head down, get on with life, and find themselves just barely making ends meet and always struggling with rising costs of living, and they see all around them the non working people who get various forms of welfare, vouchers or disability, and who work minimal hours and seem to end up in the same place as they do despite working much harder and trying to do the right thing. There's plenty of abuse of disability payments. If you're a progressive affluent person living in Bethesda, you have preciously little idea what really goes on in working class areas. There's a reason why we have both the lowest unemployment in modern history AND the lowest rate of participation in the labor force.

Then we do have frustrations with that many people on welfare seem to repeatedly make the same mistakes over and over again that perpetually keeps them on assistance.

This is true, wage planning is absolutely a thing. No use in working too hard if that doesn’t get you far enough
