The biggest problem is too many have gotten handouts for so long that they expect everything to be a handout. A good job, give it to me. A good car, give it to me. A good house, give it to me.
The idea hard work, long hours, saving and goals are contrary to the idea of handouts that many people of all races have come to expect.
Why does the right wing only complain about handouts for the Poor? Corporate welfare is alive and well.
From 1978 to 2018, inflation-adjusted compensation based on realized stock options of the top CEOs increased 940.3%. The increase was more than 25–33% greater than stock market growth (depending on which stock market index is used) and substantially greater than the painfully slow 11.9% growth in a typical worker’s annual compensation over the same period. Measured using the value of stock options granted, CEO compensation rose 1,007.5% from 1978 to 2018.
