You don't even understand that everyone who has held a legitimate job in the US is entitled to Social security because they PAID INTO IT.Why wouldn't I demand SS? I paid for it. Why would my 401k go into the crapper? What possible circumstance could occur to send my 401k into the crapper? Are you and your comrades planning on raiding my 401k?
So essentialy, you are all for socialism when it benefits you, then?
I get a check every month BECAUSE I paid 7% of my wage for 50 years. I am entitled to collect my check.
The woman with six kids by 4 different men, did not pay into SNAP. She is "entitled" to nothing. Everything she gets from Uncle Sam comes from you and me with a wink and a nod and a suggestion to vote for a Democrat who will give her yet more of yours and my wealth.
Ah yes. The old reliable "welfare queen" lie. Contrary to conservative talking points, low income women are not having 6 kids by 4 different men. Poor women have, on average, fewer children than than middle class women.
And the vast majority of people receiving SNAP benefits are working - for minimum wages. Many of them work for some of the most profitable corporations in the U.S. Walmart has people in their personnel departments whose function it is to help their workers apply for SNAP and Medicaid.
But keep fighting increases in minimum wages. Those corporations need the wage subsidies.
Many elderly also receive SNAP, and military families.
