It’s like they say, universal free school meals leads to a lazy population and communism.

Jokes aside, I really don’t understand their fear of anything that resembles socialized programs.

They’re afraid of someone getting a free handout because they think it isn’t fair. They think they had to work hard for everything they have and that other people should suffer even more to have the same things. They’re perfectly fine bailing out banks and large companies though because those aren’t people. Huge lack of empathy and morals is the greater issue.

They THINK they had to work hard. Most of them are from a time where a one income family of 5 could actually be financially solvent.
