A lot of people are defending this, saying, “Well, they mean they’re going to take away welfare from minorities, but they can’t say that, so they have a white guy.” No. They mean exactly what they say. They will never take away welfare from minorities because minorities would die without it. The only cuts Republicans can make to welfare without offending their Christian sensibilities are finding the dozen or so 35-year-old gamers who signed up for Medicaid while they were between gig-economy jobs. I don’t want that cut. If brown people get free healthcare, I want the 35-year-old gamer to have it too
You pay taxes to cover welfare for people who just choose not to work. That’s why I launched a welfare-to-work requirement.
If you’re young, healthy, and get government assistance, you should work, go to school, or volunteer.
