Their supporters aren't on welfare, that's for freeloaders.

Their supporters are all on SSDI because they have back pain from being overweight, and they can both cash the social security checks (which come out of a different section of the budget) and as a bonus they can sell any oxy pills they don't snort.

"everyone else are freeloaders. I actually need the support I get though!"

smh, it would have been funny if it isn't such a common mentality.

I wish we could just cut the BS and do something like UBI or NIT. The welfare system is so complex that understanding it is a job in itself, and I really can't understanding how the poor navigate it. Just give them cash, and phase it out as they earn more.

God I basically know a town made up of these people. Then they have to trade back pills for pill counts, crazy lifestyle those people live.

Yes, but to be fair, they were personally saved by Jesus Christ, so how DARE you judge them!!!
