It's weird how out of sorts some ostensibly liberal people are getting that someone who isn't them is getting a hand.
Is welfare fair under these rules? I mean, I work. I pay taxes. It's not fair that I have to pay my bills and they don't!
Because that's the mindset here.
It's bumper stickerism revealed. Say the words that they're all for helping people as a signal to others of how awesome they are until they think somehow something of theirs is being minimized in some way. Then it's, "Fuck other people. Stay down."
It's all very mask off.
I'm comfortable economically. I support others getting helped when an economic system is determined to screw them despite best efforts.
Because I actually am a liberal. I don't just wear the t-shirt.
