True!!

Insanely, unbelievably true.

Out of all the people on any sort of “hand out” I think the remarkably insignificant are proud of the fact or want to be.

The fact is that those dollars are INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO THOSE PEOPLE.

And for every family that may HAVE to take them, once again, notice the distinction as you mentioned, not WANT, there is a chance that those pittances will help them survive another month, and possibly get one step closer to being their own actor in pulling out of the shitty, no good, bullshit that is poverty.

For every dollar that rich fucks hoard, a needy family could spend in our economy.

Hoarding does no good and only fuels inflation.
