Given that 1/3 of working Americans live on less than $15 an hour, taking away food stamp benefits is cruel. The system is increasingly violent in its willingness to squeeze every penny from those who don’t have and pour endless largess onto those who do.

I see the war on the poor is still strong after the pandemic.

Who are you kidding? After you’re done with the grift after polling 2% you will proudly endorse and support and smile happily at Biden and Dems as the the puppet regime that is screwing people over left and right continues its war on people. Because it runs on profit.

Please drop out of the race, we need to re-elect President Biden 💙🇺🇸

Taking away Supplemental Nutrition (food stamps) is supposed to be cruel. 🤔 Without poverty, how would employers threaten employees 😏

Give us your stance on the covid 19 vaccine. Give us your stance on Ukraine war Give us your stance on (CBDC) central bank digital currency Those are the only things you need to talk about if you are a serious candidate

The cruelty is the point, Marianne. Joe Biden loves it as much as Donald Trump.

There were 160 million wage-earners in 2019. Half of them took home $32000 or less. 80M people is more than the population of France or the UK. It'd be the 20th biggest country on Earth. An entire Minimum Wage Nation. Cool if they had a seat at the UN.

Only those less than $15/hour? So you advocate status quo. No progress, just Things will not fundamentally change. That's you in a nutshell.
