I believe that any self respecting person would not vote for this. The only way to get rid of poverty is getting people working and able to pay their own way. Plus it adds to the tax base instead of depleting it.
This is what Trump’s policies were doing, especially with minorities. The leftist Dems could not allow this to happen. Self-reliance and self-respect are not what they seek in their voters. Dependence on government money is what Dems want.
