Of course-- our Republican friends always have a hand out for some of that 'largesse'.. it's when 'those people' get any kind of a break that they object.
They put Shirley Chisholm, congresswoman from NYC, on the Agriculture committee as an insult her first term. We got expanded WIC and SNAP out of it - she convinced all the rural ag owned folks that someone has to buy the food they're growing and subsidizing demand was a really easy way to do that.
Today’s GOP is majority people who grew up in Jim Crow America. When they say Make America Great Again they’re pining for their childhood where everyone “knew their place”

In the form of PPP, I suppose? Wonder how many #CorporateGreed CEOs reared their ugly heads, to denigrate the gov’t, as they were being “bailed out”. What a disgrace to given such a lifeline, only to turn around and screw the consumers even more.
If you are looking down of the people whose votes you want to win with a sense of moral superiority, don't expect to win them. They will only resent you more. This is *especially* true if you have more economic security than they do!
true, sometimes they both complain and take handouts above and beyond. other times they just reason this is a reimbursement of taxes they had to pay involutnarily tho
