"If people can't afford their lives, they don't deserve handouts!"

Undeserving people.

How dare they exist!

How dare them for making the choice to be born to suck away other people's tax dollars so they don't have to work!

How dare people decide to be born in other countries where their lives are threatened from the first day of breath! How dare they have decided to be born just to come into America illegally and steal deserving people's tax dollars!

How dare people deciced to be born to people addicted to drugs, already in poverty, and/or where they have zero prospects or opportunities to go beyond where they were raised!

How dare these people have the audacity to decide to be bornat all in any other situation but the one deserving people are!

This is what people sound like when they complain about people on food stamps, seeking asylum, living in poverty, having to have medicaid, and every other tax funded project to help people out.

That a person who had no say in coming into existance on this earth somehow has to follow this weird idea of "deserving" that we have made up based on nothing more than how much suffering required to eek out any kind of living we are willing to tolerate.

That somehow, there's a bank account somewhere with your name on it that you solely contributed to with your taxes and no one else can use those funds but you. And if someone uses them, they're obviously stealing from *your* bank account.

Not to mention, because the fear of these "undeserving people" getting money they don't deserve, the money in those accounts are either significantly reduced, or made impossible to get, even for those whose nameis on that bank account because undeserving people are theives. Obviously.

If you think any person that exists is undeserving, you have lost your humanity completely. You are the monster you fear.

And for those who want to tell me if I care so much, why don't I take them into my own home, they are the reason I pay taxes, so they can be cared for and get equal footing with everyone else so people stop seeing them as inuman entities just there to rip others off from money they agreeed to pay in the form of taxes to help them.

I would like to add another “disadvantaged population” into the discussion: our homeless veterans and wounded warriors.
My personal favourite people are the ones hating on disabled people for claiming the help they're entitled to in order to offset some of the extra financial demands that their disability places on them.

Like... "Did you ever consider not being disabled in the first place???" Or "Get a job, you scrounger" (the latter is often said to disabled people who are already working - since their payment is not means tested or covered by any working hours requirements).

@HootyTheNightOwl It amazes and horrifies me the messed up logic they use to feel justified in being monsters.
@FoxyGoddess …and that they almost all seem to refer to themselves as “God fearing Christians!

@KunsanVeteran They are going to be super surprised when they hit hell.

I wish anyone who talks about the "undeserving poor" would take their argument to its logical conclusion and justify people starving to death in the midst of plenty or their children suffering through no fault of their own. For a certain strain of conservative, the problem is always someone else's.
@HootyTheNightOwl No argument from me! We have some community and church run food banks but they ya drop in the bucket compared to the need for those services.

And then there’s the separate but related issue of “food deserts.”
@KunsanVeteran Did you know that foodbanks won't even take boxes of 40+ pouches of pet food and split them down among their clients???

It seems like madness when you consider that you can help more pets with larger boxes that are now going to waste because they won't accept them. The only thing wrong with the food is that my cats died before they ate it.

@HootyTheNightOwl These still have to be funded though. If not by the state (in which case it becomes a "handout") then by charity which os extremely precarious.
