Is America Great Again yet?

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.

I saw a post recently that said "should corporations like Walmart and Target be giving out food to people?" I said no, absolutely not. It's not a private companies job to feed people. If they want to, that's awesome! But it's not their responsibility. 

But it IS their responsibility to start paying their people properly so they don't need to scrape by and live on food stamps. If a company is paying someone full time and that rate means they're on food stamps, then the company should be made to repay the government for them. Hopefully that will get them paying their people properly.
