    How do you punch down on poor people when you are living in a camper?

    You can totally hate on poor people while being poor yourself. I’ve seen it loads of times. The mentality is “I deserve welfare, but those people don’t! They’re cheating the system!”

    The few negative opinions I have seen about this song have been from people it is calling out.

    Short, fat people?

      I live in a big (biggest?) city and worked for their social service agency. So many people abuse the welfare program. It’s badsht crazy. You can own 10 houses, drive a 100k car and can somehow still get on welfare and medicaid. So many loop holes, very little auditing, and everyone abusing it.

          How do you prove you pee last night before you go to bed? Is my linkedin account good enough? I was a senior developer working on the biggest social service platform in the East coast. This is a common understanding within the agency and we often joked about it. Heck, I even know a handful of illegal aliens and tons of well off people on cash income manage to get all the SNAPs and Cash Assistance from our program. I grew up here in this very city among immigrants. Majority of them have cash income and hide their trails aka dont pay tax. How I know? Everyone around me does it. Just like you know you pee last night. It’s not my job to convince you, it’s your job to do more research to prove me wrong.

              I don’t frequent Lemmy. Is that your response? I guess just like your previous response, meaningless.
