This is so much about the resentment of the right, that somebody might get a benefit that they don't qualify to receive.

I am a retired and poor senior citizen and I see no reason why the poor should not be a diligent as the wealthy in getting any and every benefit for which they are entitled to receive.
But Republicans have no problem in going after the little any individual poor person or family gets while lusting after more tax breaks for the already wealthy.
