    Please give us some examples of this, as I’m very interested in where these delusions actually come from. Are they made up in your own mind or are they actually reality?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Welfare_queen

      When this kind of shit has a Wikipedia entry, you don’t really have an excuse for not understanding a long-term vilification of the poor in general in the US, used as an excuse for excessive means testing, and gutting social programs in general. More recently, in Florida, where they began a program of drug testing recipients of welfare, they spent more money drug testing people than they saved by kicking people off the program for being caught doing drugs.

      The US is, by the numbers, a majority Christian nation. Thus it follows, a large number of those people must be behind these attitudes.

        That’s fact that you used a Wikipedia page as a source is hilarious, anyone can edit a Wikipedia page…

      See the current “platform” the GOP is running whose basis is slashing all federal agencies to dust. What do those federal agencies do? Provide aide and collect taxes.

      If you haven’t seen this, I am rather curious what rock you are living under. Is it an igneous rock or a metamorphic?

        Federal Agencies are now lumped in with the poor?? Come on you can do better than that.

              Its ridiculous. If we can’t agree that the purpose of society is to increase the standard of living for those within it we are doomed to fail. Its not like any of these chucklefucks are suckling Musk’s tits themselves. They will be just as fuck as the rest of us if these plans are enacted. Fuck.

      The other reply in this post has lots of examples; you can refer to that.

      The point I’m trying to get at though is the hypocrisy.

      If there is one conservative politician who acts illegally but the supporters of that party ignore it and instead criticise others more harshly for the same actions they are enormous hypocrites.
