Those programs were meant as a temporary help...not as a career field as they are being misused now!

And the OP was more than willing to take from the social contract when he want to use food stamps but now balks at paying the taxes that help others the same way he was helped.

Typical right wing hypocrisy. Run up trillion dollar deficits, and only complain about them when democrats are in power

Republicans as a rule don't respect property rights, the free market, or natural law.

White nationalism--and any nationalism for that matter--is simply socialism blended with social/racial conservatism. The vast majority of nationalists--Trump included--are far-left economically.

There's no such thing as a "social contract."
