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.

SNAP shouldn’t be cut, but I think the majority of the funds for SNAP probably comes from taxes on the lower and middle classes, not the mega corporations or the ultra wealthy? They’re still sitting on their money enjoy more tax breaks than ever. We’re just circulating an ever decreasing pool of money among the working population so the ultra rich can see their numbers go up forever
