You are not entitled to someone else’s labor for free, that is slavery. I understand needing a pick me up for people but when you get people who have been on it for 7-8 years is when it gets absurd. I was just reading an article that talked about how over %62 of all SNAP recipients have been on it for over five years
It’s not the truth. Politicians making money doesn’t inherently mean that they abuse government. What’s Nancy’s net worth? The dude was rich before he got elected. Many people on snap, however, abuse the system by selling their food stamps, living off of snap for generations, there are jobs out there that tell people what to put in applications to try and get the most money out of these social programs. It’s wrong.
Your argument seems to be built on foundational beliefs in the effectiveness of capitalism and the ability of modern-day Americans to climb the social ladder, so while I could try to give insight into that, I don’t feel like writing five paragraphs. Instead, because of the insane equivalence you made between social assistance programs and slavery, I’m going to be an asshole and just say INTERESTING HOW YOU SUDDENLY CARE ABOUT SLAVERY NOW, AND NOT WHEN IT’S LITERALLY BEING USED IN OUR PRISONS
You do know prisoners are paid for their labor it may be something like $.60 an hour but they are not being forced to do it, on top of that the first ~$1k that they make in prison is saved For when the prisoner gets out so that they can get back on their feet. It may not be a lot of money, but they’re not being forced to do it
