    Now that you say that, yeah, I do hear that kinda shit from my older and, ironically, youngest coworkers. I’ve given up arguing with them.

      Please keep arguing with them

      If Trump wins i will need to flee the country for my family’s safety. And i would rather not.

      It’s a really hard mindset to break because at it’s surface it make sense. Especially when you focus on fringe cases.

      Like I am sure there are people who abuse the system, but it’s not a good life, they don’t make that much off of it. No one is living large off welfare. The “welfare queen” stereotype had been by and large disproven, but has left a lasting effect on people’s opinion.

      Personally I rather have a few $ slip through and make sure kids arn’t starving.
