[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to keep pushing the lies/myth of poor being undeserving but of all the people undeserving are people who have enough money to buy a house or save money for college. Give me a break. The us isn’t divided into givers and takers, we are all takers! There are some serious snobs on here. You’re no better than those you look down on. [/quote]

I believe in welfare, but you need to give us a break. We aren’t “all takers.” You need to stop with that. My family, like many here in DC, have paid millions into taxes. My kids go to private and we donate to food insecurity and education. So no, I’m not a taker. I’m a giver. You are welcome.[/quote]

Government money is government money! If you get the mortgage deduction on your taxes, or subsidized student loans, or have a 529 or 401k, you are getting government money. Those are government welfare programs for middle and upper classes. But Americans are ok with that because they see it acceptable people getting what they deserve.

America is a brutal system. We all claw at opportunity so we don’t end up on the bottom rung because deep down we know that poor people didn’t do anything to deserve their poor existence. They’re there by chance. Luck of the draw. And most Americans know they’re one emergency bill away from that fate.[/quote]
