Ah. So the poor don't live in your "fantasy land" where we all give them more of our hard earned money for doing nothing, but they also don't live in my "fantasy land" where they work for the same money.
Riddle me this GStan:
Why do you think American companies send jobs overseas and to Mexico? Oh yeah, lower wages and benefits. Because all companies care about is profit.
Do you think Obamacare basically equals a free HMO for these families? How about their rent and food assistance? Any chance that stuff adds up to $300 a week?
What if the government said,"Employ these guys making socks. You pay them $400 a week ($10/hour), we'll give you $300 week cash and pay their HMO.".
You'd have people used to being hated parasites making $35K a year with a health plan, and helping other people be employed and to solve the trade deficit.
Your way keeps people alive for doing nothing, my way helps people live real lives.
