Socialism.
Careful, friend. Once you start giving a shit about people who don't have much money it's a slippery slope
Yeah...good trolling there.
The government providing a baseline existence for it's people is like super fucking dangerous.
Dangerous to the profit margin of a lot of companies, maybe.
There are already programs. Run by a government that obviously can't help. We don't need to share our wealth, if we were provided wealth through real jobs. With a paycheck to buy whatever it is you need and be able to save. Less taxes, less inflation. It's the government chopping your wealth at your knees too "feed" other people will only make it harder to become financially well set for your chosen life style.
