      It's not about the people. It's about the government. They can't keep winning by just giving free food. They have to provide free healthcare and education and other services.

      That's only possible once most of the poor are uplifted to middle class

        Ah it's kind of a misunderstanding because these are usually also called freebies for the poor by liberals. I still think the title is quite unfortunate

        Free healthcare and education are the prerequisite for the poor to be uplifted.

    freebies of the poor

    Yet you are somehow not outraged that the poor is underpaid for their labour and exploited by having everything fucking commodified (housing, health care, education)? Fuck off you shit eater. I hope you experience some of the actual suffering that the poor are exposed to on the daily.

      I am outraged. You should see my previous post about uplifting as many poor people as possible to the middle class.

      Once that happens it will improve the political game.

      Government will no longer be able to get votes based on free food. They have to provide free healthcare and education
