I am sure you have some ideas on policies that you would like to see passed into law that would help you. If a politician did this would you then vote for him?
I wouldn't support any plans that punishes people for taking promotions or working more hours. The current programs do that, whether you believe it to be true or not.
Government should not encourage people to work less. It's preposterous.
There should be a safety net. I don't want to see people digging through dumpsters to feed themselves in their family.
Having said that, I think being in poverty should be more uncomfortable than what it is.
You're talking to a guy that grew up pretty poor. I worked two jobs for 7 years.
