Couldn't you make the point this is worse than Welfare? How about socialism by leveling the playing fields affecting the poor and middle class only? That is unless you're dumb enough to believe the very wealthy pay for something. They sure as fuck don't, only the middle class and poor do. Consider this:
Person A earned 30K in 2018. They rec'd a big raise in 2019, and earned 50K. What an improvement and the future looks bright, and they're also eligible for a COVID entitlement just cuz.
Person B earned 70K in 2019, so they're not eligible for a COVID entitlement.
Person C earns more on unemployment than they did working, and received $3K more income for the year 2019. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.
Person D only likes to work part-time @ $50 an hour. Eligible for a COVID entitlement.
All will pay principle & interest & more (e.g., inflation & higher taxes) for "entitlements" of which only three receive benefit.
Also, which of those four scenarios deserves a COVID entitlement and why?
