Don't shame those working and on SNAP benefits:

[applegrove]

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

1. Thank you!

You know, I grew up in Detroit in the 60s (OK Boomer). Back then, a man could get in with the Big 3, join the union and he'd be set for life. He could buy a house, a car, have the wife stay home and raise the kids (if she were so inclined), take a two-week vacation every year and retire with a pension. There was no such thing as "working poor." If you had a job, you could support yourself. Bygone days. Now, you need two incomes just to get by. Pensions are pretty much a thing of the past. The CEOs and shareholders keep making more and more while the workers make less and less.

2. If they voted for Trump and are on food stamps I damn well will shame them.

4. Fucking A!

ANYONE who is on ANY type of federal or state benefits and who voted for the Child Rapist is an asshole and needs their face rubbed in the shit.

5. Keep at it, because the vast majority of them will still support him while their kids starve

6. I know and rely daily on a bunch of them.

Good people. The best.
