Wow so I put in 12 to 15 hours days, work on weekends, Holidays to support people who pop out kids and stay home. Don’t think so. I’m a yes on taxing the top 10% of the 1% n increasing Minimum wage but count me as a HELL NO on supporting people’s poor choices in life.

Many of the poor people you’re describing also put in 12 to 15 hours & work on holidays & weekends, but because they make a starvation wage can’t make ends meet. You’re stereotyping the poor with an image used to demonize but which represents a tiny portion of the underprivileged

No I’m not. I believe in an increase in minimum wage, Everyone paying their full Share of taxes, affordable training/ education but I DO NOT believe in handing out money. As a student for 13 yr I learned to live on $4000/yr which was lower than poverty

Did that serve you? And remember, we’re “handing out” money people are paying for when they pay taxes! Let’s help them get there! Right now we “hand out money” hand over foot to huge multi billion dollar corporate interests through tax breaks & subsidies.
