It doesn’t appear your company pays a living wage if 3/4 its employees need Government assistance for food.

I have recently had a shift on perception, and I'm trying to get everyone to see it, too.

You know those St Jude commercials with the cute cancer kids, and the crying parents, and everyone so happy that St Jude is taking care of those kids, and covering all the costs? People watch those commercials, shed a tear, and send money.

It doesn't occur to them that these facilities don't exist anywhere else, not because America is so great, but because in nearly every other country, parents don't have to be rich, or have expensive health insurance, or hit the charity lottery, or the PR lottery, they just take their kid to the hospital, and they get the care they need.

Instead of sending your money to a hospital that is doing what our country should be doing anyway, and use your money to elect candidates that will actually improve the health care in this country, and not just use it as a tool to exploit our citizens.

And now we have employers setting up food banks for their employees, and people think that's an honorable thing to do, understanding the hardships of their employees.

But if they truly understood the hardships of their employees, they would PAY them enough that they wouldn't have to count on the government to supplement their employees living costs.

IF we ever take back our country from the EVIL TRAITORS, we will have to rebuild a lot of our infrastructure, giving us an unprecedented opportunity to build it properly. One of the things we should do is track every American corporation's reliance on government programs to supplement employee pay. They should have to pay the government back for every penny that their employees take in government assistance, along with a hefty fine. That will make it more economically advantageous to pay the employees directly, rather than count on the government to feed them.

Many charities are just scams that exploits the deliberate weaknesses of our system. We should fix our system, and reduce our reliance on these phony support schemes.

Hope the box had leopard spots on it.

Yep, ~~most~~just under half of welfare recievers are republican, and are more likely to own guns. That sounds great, maybe the republicans will actually do something useful for once.

1 month later:

Chaos insues as an armed militia calling themselves "Snap for whites" has raided the democratic convention, killing 3 and injuring another 4. The local police were called in to assist, but were impeded by the fact that they have been trained to only shoot colored targets.

Edit: evidently more democrats recieve welfare, as far as i can tell both proportionally and as an absolute value.

Unfortunately the billionaires and corporations won't be on the receiving end, it will be everyday people and small business owners.

This but unironically. Garnish his wages.

The more meals people miss the angrier they get. A run on corporate grocery stores would be interesting. Food is a human right.

why the fuck are we not in the fucking streets right now? been waking up everyday this week to business as usual

would not even know people were starving here

This is the thing about America that bewilders me the most. I would expect such a response in North Korea, Russia maybe.

Because of fear.
