In reply to Frances T.

” Low-income families might not be so low-income if they were given the freedom and encouragement to work hard and increase their net worth. Government entitlement programs *keep* poor families poor because they’re then so dependent on the milk from the government’s bottle that they don’t need to make any concerted effort to do these things for themselves.”

I don’t think you understand intersectionality and how that limits people’s abilities to “work hard and make money”. In a society that favours white, heterosexual, Christian, cis-gendered men, any other identity will have burdens imposed on them that have nothing to do with government support.
