  1. ​@yishnir that's the point. Poor people wont-work for slave wages. If they have government benefits.

  2. They'll stay poor. That's the point
    2
  3. ​@hsmd4533 not enough to justify work requirements.
    2
  4. The point of work requirements is to ensure poor people don't receive too much help. If we had robust welfare programs, then nobody would ever work in fast food or retail, for minimum wage, with zero benefits or chance for advancement.
    2
  5. Yep.

  6. That's messed up.

  14. Republicans don't want to end poverty.

  15. 1. Republicans oppose policies that pull people out of poverty and create a middle class. 2. Poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits.
    1
  16. That's the point: to not eliminate poverty.
    1
  17. Exactly
    1
  18. Because the point of welfare is NOT to lift people out of poverty.
    1
  19. If welfare programs could lift people out of poverty then poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits.
    1
  20. Yep.

  21. The program was a success, because that IS the point of welfare- to ensure poor people don't receive too little help as to die, but not too much help as to rise to the middle class.

  22. ​ @melgibson7313 yep.

  23. You're an other wallet warrior

  24. The point of work requirements Is 1. Republicans oppose policies that pull people out of poverty and create a middle class. 2. Poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits

  25. The point is for poverty to exist
    1
  26. Heartless

  27. Because republicans don't find poverty unacceptable like they do rape.
    1
  28. Yep
    1
  29. Exactly.

  30. McCarthy isn't ignorant because you aren't aware of his real motive- politicians have no desire to end poverty because, without it, corporations couldn't control workers.
    1
  31. Correct. Many people lose food stamps and medicaid for this exact reason.
    1
  32. That's messed up
    1
  33. Yep.

  34. That's the point: republicans don't want to end poverty. They welfare for three reasons 1. Republicans oppose policies that pull people out of poverty and create a middle class 2. Poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits. 3. Republicans are heartless

  35. ​ @SonicBoomC98 republicans don't want to end poverty.
    1
  36. ​ @SonicBoomC98 you're trolling
    1
  37. @SonicBoomC98  Yes, it's evil. It implies you need to work to be motivated to escape poverty - as if people want to be in poverty in the first place.
    1
  38. @SonicBoomC98  actions speak louder than words. Republicans refuse to implement robust welfare programs. That alone shows their own values. The reason welfare isn't robust is because poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits. No doctor would work for $10/hr. But there are millions of people who do. Why? Without a safety net to fall back on, they're forced to accept shitty jobs.

  39. There are already work requirements
    1
  40. That's the problem.
    1
  41. ​@SonicBoomC98 get this dumb idea out of your head. Poverty is not attractive choice for most people. Work requirements reinforce the notion that poor people are lazy freeloaders.
    1
  42. Correct.
    1
  43. The point is to not have robust welfare support programs.
    1
  44. They want poor people to be poor
    1
  45. Lol.
    1
  46. The point is to perpetuate poverty

  47. Work requirements are messed up altogether.

  48. Able-bodied has no basis in any field of science. It's a moral term used to imply certain poor people don't deserve help.
    1
  49. ​ @MrWyzdum LOL.
    1
  50. No. You don't need to poor people to work to be motivated to escape poverty.
    1
  51. @SonicBoomC98  you know very well that nobody wants to be poor. The real reason republicans oppose welfare is because poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits.

  52. That's the problem.

  53. Poor people won't work for slave wages if they have government benefits. If I could afford healthcare without working. I'm not accepting any job that deprives me of healthcare.

  54. ​ @EvilHeroMaliciousBear exactly.
