For a majority of 4 year degree dumb asses, 10Gs is piss into the wind. If anything, hard working students of trade school will benefit from this more and have their debts paid in full.
But more to the point, this is a distraction. Contrary to establishment GOP talking points, poor people are NOT your enemy. Someone you know is living off welfare? So what? They're likely living in the shittiest neighborhoods and eating the most cancerous food. There's any number of reasons people give up and considering the joke of the COVID bills as well as ALL the other corporate welfare checks and kickbacks to big business, I am finding it harder and harder each day to blame it on lazy people. Lazy people have been around for... well... as long as there has been a human race. There will always be those who try to take advantage of the system. But let me ask you this, which one of those two types is a threat to your well being? The pothead in the trailer park minding their own business? Or the corporate fat cat lobbying for regulations to murder small business?
The anti-welfare arguments are a DISTRACTION. They serve no actual purpose except to gaslight and divide us all. That lazy fuck isn't working in politics to steal more of your money. The money allocated to them was stolen by your representatives NOT them. Them asking for money is NOT the problem. It's the shitheads giving it to them. It's the assholes in government who are enabling them not them taking out welfare.
This has always been a prime talking point of establishment GOP faggots to keep you voting for them and for you to see your fellow struggling man as the enemy. This is how they get away with stealing more of your taxes. Because you're too busy posting lame Facebook memes belittling other shleps, they've been able to get away with staling your income and what's worse is we fall for it every fucking time. If you want to actually make a difference, start by calling out the real thieves. Stop falling for their tactics. Stop allowing yourselves to be divided over trivial bullshit. If you actually care, then continue to get more representatives who support your ideas.
Lastly, instead of assuming all people on welfare are lazy, talk to them. I do know people who are and yes, I agree with reform, however a safety net protocol to help people get back on their feet is a good thing. And don't quote me "tHaT's ThE cHuRcHe'S jOb" WRONG!!!!!!!!!! Jesus never established a formal religion. That was Paul. Jesus commands US to help the poor. He doesn't commission an organization, He commands US to do it, no ifs ands or butts.
Things are hard enough as is. We aren't helping anything by making life harder for others. This is all theater. It's the same play. Come out with something ridiculously stupid and gaslight the masses. Are you seriously going to fall for it again?
