52% of Americans in favor of soaking the rich.

I think Kansas put limits on Snap benefit use. Or was talking about it.

No sodas or steak. Or some stupid shit like that.

Poverty is created by welfare. Once we get rid of it the fundamental economic issues will change. The world economy hangs on the policies of the state of Missouri.

It's not as if welfare dependency is some looney right wing fairy tale.

Not saying that exactly. I am talking about the economic reality that today we don't have jobs we need these people to be doing. In fact the problem of creating work in the future economy is a matter of concern. So it seems kind of fantastical to suggest that this is the source of a poverty trap.

However it is not like the requirements to keep on the welfare rolls are that onerous. One just needs to visit a social worker a few times.

I was about the say something, but then I remembered: Grumbler knows everything.  So rather than engaging in a pointless debate with him, I'll let him give the explanations needed

Nice drive-by ad hom!  You should be proud of the way you dodge any intellectual interactions.

Where, precisely?  I'm asking for a friend. #odysseymarineexploration

I'm dodging what exactly?
It's your country, yet you haven't commented on the issue.  So tell me, what do you think is the reason why 60% of the electorate seems to care about wealth redistribution while it is mostly absent from political discourse?

[Eddie Teach]

I think Yi already answered it. Republicans don't care about inequality and they have the power to stop redistribution.

I think there would also be some resistance to a straight out transfer from the centrist wing of the Democratic party.

Sorry, but I am not going to engage in a pointless debate with you. 

If I address the issue, i'll do so on my  own volition and not as in response to an invitation from you to participate in a "debate" that consists of me making arguments supported by  facts and you engaging in ad homs and rhetorical exaggerations.  I've had my fill of that.
