Do you want me to put it into my own words or just offer links from Google? I think you're smart enough to read "career welfare voter" and know what is meant.

Well I googled it and the only thing that came up with the meme you posted.

Do you mean people who receive welfare for a career? That isn't a thing. Temporary Assistance to Needy Families is...temporary...and it isn't even a huge part of government spending.

There is SSI for the elderly and those who are blind or otherwise disabled.

Social Security isn't an entitlement it is something workers pay into for themselves so nix that.

There is tax credits for people who file taxes and have children, I suppose something most Americans take advantage of. It is like $1000 in welfare money per kid...

A lot of people abuse SNAP but that comes and goes, I'm pretty sure it has been cut in most places, and it is being worked on.

So since the Google didn't have much to say about it, and my training in human services hasn't mentioned anything in welfare that can be used for more than a couple years at most, I'm questioning the validity of "career welfare voter".

Seems to reflect the Reagan-era myth of the Welfare Queen, driving a Cadillac and eating sushi, living in a nice three bedroom house or w/e, all on the tax payers dime.

Just explain it in your own personal words I guess.

Because Democrats outsourced all our manufacturing jobs.

/s

Let's be honest. If someone is willing to do your job BETTER and for CHEAPER, why wouldn't you hire the hire quality, cheaper employee?

i agree

sweat shops are the best

Because national well being shouldn't be subordinated for greed? Because there are more important things to life than profit? Because you can't measure happiness in dollars?

Because I don't worship money and believe there is more to life than stuff?

I don't know, lots of reasons. Because three yachts are not much worse than five yachts.

the capitalistic american dream

If you don't worship money, why do you want more of it?

The American dream is the dream of those coming here to improve their lives.

A lot of people think the American dream is belonging to a privileged group and blatantly mistaking that privilege for merit.



Huh? How do you know what I want?

I'm working on a Master of Science in Social Work. Social work by definition is non-materialistic. It is as idealistic as it gets.
