This isn’t going to sound very “conservative,” but whatever.
Not one single *actual* American should EVER feel an ounce of shame or regret about receiving taxpayer funded benefits or assistance.
You’ve been born into a life of debt-servitude. The national debt is 38 TRILLION dollars, the vast majority of this money was spent on things that haven’t benefitted you AT ALL, but still, YOU are expected to pay for it.
Billion-dollar bailout after billion-dollar bailout has been given to multi-national corporations that really couldn’t care less about the well-being of you, your family, or this nation. Meanwhile, tens of millions of third-world immigrants have been allowed to flood into the country, all of whom are collecting tax-payer funded benefits at 10x the rate of *actual* Americans.
While you’re scraping coins together, saving money, so that you can MAYBE afford a house and a family some day, THEY have already popped out 5 kids - at your taxpayer funded expense, by the way.
Racially based “affirmative action” programs have kept you out of school, and DEI hiring practices have kept you out of work - or, even worse, your job was outsourced to an H-1B worker from India.
The reality is, for DECADES now the entire system has been rigged against YOU.
So by all means, go ahead and collect $200 a month in food assistance.
At this point, as an *actual* American, it’s practically your patriotic obligation to make sure that it goes to you, instead of someone that shouldn’t be in the country in the first place.
