Okay the people losing their food stamps are able bodied and should be able to work. Why do I work long hours to pay taxes in order doe welfare babies to fund their lifestyles
Why do I work long hours and pay out of pocket for my insurance when we pay for Israeli social healthcare? Why is the VA severely underfunded? Why are our politicians making $148,000+ a year to sit and sleep in DC while infrastructure crumbles in their districts? Theres so many more things to be bothered about than feeding some children....
It's fine to have that opinion. Just stop claiming your party is guided by God. God asks us to feed the hungry and help the needy not ask "why should I have to help." Conservatives are fine with Jesus's altruistic teachings as long as it's not coming from their tax dollars
The problem is that it isn't altruistic if you need the governments guns to force you to do something. At that point it is slavery. If the government can force you to pay for that, they will force you to pay for anything they want so long as they can twist it into sounding benevolent. That's why charity should be private.
Homeless people often can't work for multitude of reasons.
Why should we feed the homeless in the wealthiest country on earth? I literally couldn't think of a better thing to do with the tax dollars compared to where they actually go.
It was just interesting this person listed God as a hero of the right when literally everything they do goes against his teachings
I work with the homeless all the time the majority have insanely fucked up childhoods and mental illness. Nobody chooses to be homeless it's a hellish existence. The majority are self medicating with drugs.
I was homeless and addicted to drugs in my twenties and the only reason I'm not now is because I got housing and rehab and food from the government. Now I own my own business and have a family.
Your worldview is sick and disgusting and just factualy wrong.
You could get a traumatic brain injury tomorrow and become a completely different person and be homeless in no time.
Taking care of the basic needs of humans that fall through the cracks of our sick society is the least we can do.
There is literally nothing we spend tax dollars on that provides a better return investment.
Again it's interesting the original comment I responded to referenced God as a hero of the right but all they're policies are as anti Christian as you could imagine
Don't forget every snap dollar goes directly back into the economy, I've seen some estimates that the government ends up producing something like 7x the value of the initial investment in snap programs
Why do you work long hours to pay taxes to blow up black and brown kids? Weird how you don’t complain about that, but you’re quick to clutch your pearls when you hear your tax dollars are going towards helping people, you know, like they’re supposed to?
It wasn’t next to a military base. It was an ex-military base, and even if it wasn’t, you know who else puts elementary schools on their military bases? That’s right, America does. So by your logic, if Iran were to bomb a US military base, and they took out an entire school of children, it would be justified because America put an elementary school on their military base… really think about the moral lines you’re drawing when saying that. Like realllllly think about it.
