My mother was a supermarket cashier back in the 1950s and 60s. She used to tell tales of people with food stamps coming through the checkout with carts full of top-of-the-line porterhouse and delmonico steaks. Meanwhile, my dad was working for the railroad, making maybe $10 or so an hour, and we were eating hamburger. And my parents’ tax dollars were paying for those fancy steaks. Does that seem right to you?
That is exactly the point that the left will avoid addressing at all costs.
It’s a big loser for them to try to argue that that situation is what “should be”.
Of course, this “shaming” is why they INSIST that the gov’t be involved in charity. A private charity MUST, pretty much by definition, “judge” the recipients as worthy or needy and not wasting the resources of the charity.
Gov’t doesn’t have to worry about waste and fraud.
They just stick their guns in productive people’s faces and demand more.
Show me one poor person you know personally that you’ve been to their home who dines on filet mignon and king crab.
And seafood and steak is hardly the stuff of a price fixe gourmet restaurant.
