I read an argument the other day that blew my mind.

The argument goes that the Left loves poor children because they use them as examples for the need for social welfare system. They argue that the left doesn’t actually care about the wellbeing of impoverished kids or anyone in need for that matter, they just want the government to continue “handouts.” They said if Leftists actually cared, then they would be using their own money to feed these kids and fund single mothers lifestyles out of their own pockets.

EDIT: lmao JFC why am I getting downvotes I’m just the messenger 😂 I don’t believe this slop!!

We are. That’s the point of funding these programs with our tax money. I’d rather my taxes go to feeding children than funding tax cuts for the wealthy.

Did they think that was some radical argument? What are they arguing for, exactly? That instead of feeding children and those in need we should make the ultra wealthy wealthier?

The logic was that Leftists use the impoverished to enrich themselves through social welfare systems.

The idea is that the Left benefit from the government’s wasteful spending on these social welfare systems. It allows Leftist Woke DEI SJWs to continue to be lazy avocado toast-eating leeches that steal from welfare. It also further enables the minorities to continue being “Welfare Queens.”

So republicans come and checks notes cut said benefits to impoverished children and glances again pass tax cuts to the top earners.

So the argument against the possibility of collateral corruption is direct corruption. 😮‍💨
