The America we once knew doesn't exist anymore, yes many opportunities are still there but most are gone now for the vast majority of people. Gone are the days, for most, where one can pick a career path and rely on following that path to retirement, over the last couple of decades divorce alone has filled the ranks of the poor with single mothers trying to survive plus feed and cloth their children. Of course Penelope is wrong thinking is just being born into poor families, that's the old mechanism that today comprises the minority of welfare cases. Today the biggest welfare demographic is single divorced mothers of all races though within that group the biggest demographic is white single mothers.You are literally insane. What liberal wants less taxes, less business regulation, a real border, shutting down sanctuary cities, and on and on.You want to know what a liberal is , look no further than the man you hired, trump, and well he is also a good definition of a sociopath, self absorbed, egomaniac.
Now your righties , fake Christians, have very little empathy for the less fortunate who through no fault of their own were born into a poor family
Fake Christian? You haven't got an honest bone in your body. And lots of people grow up poor and end up doing pretty well. It's why people migrate here. If you can't make it in America, you can't make it anywhere. Move to Cuba.
Blue collar wages in this country are no longer big enough to meet the current cost of living forcing some families to rely on one or more of the government assistance programs at least temporarily, many of the elderly and disabled are stuck with having to rely on the government for assistance often through no fault of their own.
If you're on Unemployment Insurance you have to be actively seeking work, if on TANF you have to work 30 to 50 hours a week to be eligible. SNAP (food stamps) benefit bases it's monthly allotment on and average of $1.50 per meal per person. About 82% of SNAP goes to children, the elderly and the disabled who can't work. That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the reality of "welfare".
