Max LeibmanBetween the conservatives’ desire to avoid giving anything to the undeserving poor and the liberals’ desire to avoid giving anything to the undeserving rich, there is no social good we can’t come together as a nation to stop.
Ghostrunner@maxleibman means testing in the us can be trivial - tax brackets exist - but conservatives actively want it to fail.
@ghostrunner That means testing is possible doesn’t mean it isn’t often carrying water for the right when you support it.
Do you believe in free school lunches, or do you believe in means testing? Do you believe in universal healthcare, or do you believe in means testing?
Dividing up the country into who is worthy of being taken care of or not is the conservatives’ game, and you’re playing it even when who you’re trying to mark “unworthy” are the rich (or their children).
