    Food stamps are designed specifically so people can kibble about what the recipients should or should not eat.

    The dignified thing to do is just to give them money. That’s the cause of poverty. A lack of money.

      Giving money to poors, they would spend it and increase economic activity. That would create more money and therefore pay back that was given to the poors. But they would not be that poor anymore, and teenagers would cost far too expensive for the bilionaires’ pleasure (and most would even just refuse). As long as the choice is let up to the richests, the poors won’t be founded but by fear…

          The official economical theory says that their is no relation between the wage and the income ; since you would (obviously?) work twice longer per day if your wage was halfed (unless you are lazy).

          It is a bit hard to find examples where workers really accepted to do so, at least up to that point… because those who work hard are lazy and don’t deserve to become rich, unlike the kids of shareholders (or else the system would be unfair, since they receive more than workers…)
