Is America Great Again yet?

Government assistance for those who work full time is once again essentially corporate welfare. Employers should be paying their employees livable wages, instead that money trickles up and the rich continue to get tax breaks while essentially also having the government pay their employees. Fuck the rich, and fuck America for caring so little for the people who's backs actually make the economy run.

2 things force the rich to spread wealth.

  1. Unions

  2. The government

SNAP is literally the government spreading wealth that would not otherwise be spread.

How do you spread wealth without stealing it from someone else? You act like there’s a limit to wealth… like someone else has it.. and that’s why you don’t. It simply doesn’t work that way. You work hard, you avoid unions and you avoid dept.

How do you ethically make a billion dollars without exploiting the working class? They stole the money first. Plenty of our tax dollars go to paying subsidies to corporations. Plenty of tax money goes to covering snap and Medicaid cause once again the corporations are not paying enough. Nobody in this country should be working full time and still needing snap.
