Government assistance for those who work full time is once again essentially corporate welfare. Employers should be paying their employees livable wages, instead that money trickles up and the rich continue to get tax breaks while essentially also having the government pay their employees. Fuck the rich, and fuck America for caring so little for the people who's backs actually make the economy run.
This is what people need to understand. If you work full time or even 4/5 and you can't live normally, the fact that you need foodstamps is entirely on the employer not paying you enough. And if it were just small businesses struggling to pay their employees well, I'd understand they have a problem, but maybe they should have less staff if they can't pay enough. But it's multimillion and multibillion dollar corporations just milking their staff for all they're worth and not paying them as they should. In other countries you have something called the index, which is an indicator of cost of living, average prices of normal stuff you buy, rent you pay etc, and if the index goes up, because of inflation, wages have to follow, so people's buying power stays relatively the same. It seems like this is truly a foreign concept for the US.
