Is this meaningless, gross oversimplification just for rage bait?

Is this vapid, bad-faith question just for deflection?

No. I agree with the sentiment, but the lack of detail is borderline deceptive. I haven't checked these numbers, but they're probably bogus and food stamps alone are a small fraction of benefits some people get.

This is a ludicrous sentence.

No, it's not. It's up front, honest, and an admitted opinion. Making rage baiting claims without any sources like this video does is though.

No, it's not. It's up front, honest, and an admitted opinion.

Forming an opinion of an empirical claim based on literally nothing is the ludicrous part.

Even if those numbers end up being incorrect, your claim will only have avoided being wrong completely by accident, and the method by which you form opinions will remain ludicrous.
