The American Dream has been degraded, people living in poverty will stay in poverty. I implore you to look at the story of Isabella James, who volunteered to be homeless. You cannot claim this country was built to be fair, the system is rigged with prejudice and injustices. The argument that people abuse SNAP relies off of biases, and in the case itâs true, unfortunately that is their choice to use THIER food stamps for trading. I do come from a wealthy family, however Iâm actually informed.
The problem here is that we need to audit the SNAP system - for waste and abuse. Itâs not a bad concept. People find themselves impoverished against every effort to move up in the world. And we should support those people as long as they maintain those efforts. But the American electorate doesnât have the mental capacity or patience to improve the system - they will just fall into the leftward camp of âthing goodâ or the rightward camp of âthing badâ.
Babes if you can abuse the system and get away with it let me know. Because it is 10x harder to abuse the system and not get caught. How tf can you move up in a country that doesnât give af about you. Unless youâre born into wealth you have to work 20x harder because the system isnât made to help you. Do you know that ppl who get government assistance canât have a certain amount of savings? Also if you get rid of SNAP the cost of groceries will increase because it pays a certain percentage
Are we talking about the same country that gives tax cuts to billionaires? Are we talking about the same country thatâs shutdown because they couldnât agree on a budget? Are we talking about the same country that wants to cut healthcare, FAFSA and SNAP so they can fund their lifestyles? Are we talking about the country that allows rich politicians to get away with trafficking and money laundering? Are we talking about the country that let corrupt rich people sit at the top?
âThe countryâ is not a sentient being lol. It IS those billionaires. Without them there is no country. Guess what - they all came from immigrants and if you go back far enough - impoverished people. Yes, having more money provides you more security. Thatâs the whole point of money. But itâs not some massive conspiracy, itâs the natural result of establishing a nation
this is legitimately a âI donât understand historyâ take. you need to go back and take like a high school history class, because what youâre not mentioning is a) the genocide that allowed america to exist, b) the slaves that the current upper class made their fortunes on, and c) the globally unprecedented level of wealth hoarding and income disparity that the ruling class fights tooth and nail to preserve
Okay so first off letâs not because babes I grew up in the projects. Iâve been homeless multiple times and I mean sleeping in cars, hotels couch surfing. So letâs not go there because Iâll read tf out you like a book thatâs never been read before. Youâre ignorant, dense, uneducated, and so far fucked up nobody can save you. The fact you chose the projects says a lot about you. And ppl in the projects are the ones who have it harder trying to get approved for government assistance.
So you choose to run with stereotypes? Stfu please those are the ones who have it harder to get approved why they donât have the necessary help or tools. The people in these offices are so fucking rude. The workers give them the run around, they lose paperworks. and these families still canât get any help. So donât sit here and say âOh itâs ppl that never stepped in the projects blah blah.â No bihh itâs ppl like you who only see shit one way.
I think they have got others' well-being as a priority in their own way. They've just got such an absolutist belief in the limited role of government/the laissez faire system. The US is a very rich country. If it allocated its funds reasonably (the most obvious place to start is overseas military bases), it could pay for world class social programs without raising a single tax
idk if this is satire or not, but if not, this is exactly what they want you to think. theyâre pushing this âblame the democratsâ bs in your face when the real problem isnât even democrat vs republican anymore; itâs really top vs. bottom. rich vs poor. they donât care about you they just care about power
The famous African scholar Aime Cesaire was 100% right when he said that your western liberalism provided the intellectual roots for nazism. The only difference between nazis and western liberals like you is that nazis started treating other white people the way you treat the Global South
