I'm talking about people trying not to live on welfare for life. I'm talking about people who work hard, trying to set a great example of work ethic to their child or children, who just don't make enough to afford decent and nutritional food. There are Americans in that situation and they should be helped.
Well Doug, I hate to burst your bubble, but those people are few and very far between.
There are more than you think. Not everyone is as fortunate as we are in life. Dehumanizing others in a blanket way allows people to have some very inhumane beliefs, I guess.

Used to be me, alone with my little son. Now we are in a whole different place and pay it forward with gratitude.
That’s not true. I’ve been a county social worker for 45 years, and the families I work with all have at least some kind of employment but don’t make enough to fully feed themselves. Yes, they could all stop having kids and get better educated, a better job etc etc. But this family style is what they grew up with and is their norm just like most of us grew up on some tier of middle class, and we have a different lifestyle. It is just not as black and white as you want to believe it is. People are struggling and hurting, and if you make $30,000 a year with 3 kids, and the dad left you stuck with everything, you need the food banks and food stamps.
