People say they’re worried that giving too much money to the poor will make them lazy and entitled. Why aren’t we worried that giving too much money to the rich will make them arrogant and delusional?

Well put. And this book might shed some light on that myth about the poor: simonandschuster.com/books/L…

Fair point.

Old and inaccurate talking point. People have been using this against the poor for years.

How about we just fix the tax code other wise it won’t change you don’t need higher taxes , you need less loopholes

Why do they think people voted for Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders? If they don't want another Trump then they better hurry up and end economic inequality. Because economic populism is a winning electoral platform and neoliberalism is not.

Good point; but, I would add entitled to "will make then arrogant and delusional" part of your question.

Giving money to someone doesn't make them anything. you give lazy people money or arrogant people money. Just makes it easier to be who they are.
Replying to @marwilliamson @innercreation
Because the latter has already happened?
