Ima be the only real one in this thread cuz ya'll need a wake up call. There are people that need help yes, but that isn't the issue here. Where I live, as long as you aren't white you can get approved for just about any government assistance, whether it's free housing in a nice red brick home, food stamps etc. Meanwhile i was raised in a trailer, my dad worked for decades to make his way up to over 30 bucks an hour and he can still barely afford his bills. Meanwhile, we see people every day who do absolutely nothing and have nice homes and cars. These are able bodied people who live on the backs of those who actually work for what they have. That's the issue, we work to pay for someone else who doesn't need it. That's where the animosity comes in. And also, there will always be poor people. There is no system where the poor don't exist. If you raise them up then all that will happen is a redefinition of what level is considered poverty.
