I adore my dad, but he—who collects social security and uses VA health care—is always railing against freeloaders living off of government handouts. It’s like, “Uh… Dad? Hello?”

I believe Reagan started the movement of hating on the welfare mom. Corporate welfare is fine, but a parent working a full time job, yet still qualifing for welfare is the scourge of society

Americans making $750.00 an hour have convinced those making $25 an hour that our brothers and sisters making $9.25 an hour are the problem.

As someone on disability welfare in the Netherlands... Not a lot of people judge but some ignorant people do. Its gross. "Oh you cant function but you're trying your hardest? How about you stop living off my tax euros and get a job." Yeah thanks I didnt feel awful enough yet. Perpetuating much?

Before the Trump tax cuts, but sometime after the Bush tax cuts, a study found that, for every $1 spent on social services for the working class, $2 was given just to the top 1%. George Carlin said it: "The poor are there...just to scare the s--- out of the middle class!" They are not the enemy.

If the issue is a lack of resources (as in there's not enough money etc) then we should be mad at those hoarding the resources and not the ones needing them. Needs will always exist. Hoards should not.

In fact, that account doesn’t exist. As former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke once noted, when the government pays for things, it is “not taxpayer money. We simply use the computer to mark up the size of the account.” newrepublic.com/article/1582...

I live in Wimbledon, have been a director at a bank and lived a very fun life, perhaps a little too much because today I had to sign up for benefits. You can be on the top and right back on the bottom.

My parents need to see this. They believe people on benefits are "abusing the system." Maybe they should stop and think that maybe the person on benefits can't work for various reasons

But if we weren't giving that money to poor people, it would instead end up in the hands of the investment class, and they would *checks notes* buy up a bunch of housing, evict the residents and leave it vacant as an investment vehicle.

Y'know, as someone who has an ex-soldier for a father, and a mother who has worked in just about every part of the hospitality sector in Ireland, it's not us dirt poor lads trying to better out lives. It's the ones that don't try. They're the issue, alongside millionaire pricks

I want to like this, because it's so close. But whether or not 99.9% of billionaires are assholes (they are): Your life doesn't suck because of "the rich". Your life sucks because of Capitalism. Small, but important distinction. And one without which we'll never fundamentally change anything.

Do you see it as a zero-sum game where everything the rich have is something that the poor would otherwise have? If yes, have you found evidence that there is a negative correlation between the living standards of average people and the relative share of rich people? Honest question.
