You know where the apparent hatred from the poor comes from on forums like this don't you? It's self hate. These people are too close to being poor themselves, and they fear being with the rest of "poor" people.

I’m sick of paying a gazillion taxes that go nowhere. The poor can do whatever they want, the city needs to make sure the public transportation for ALL, the roads for ALL, the parks for ALL, the schools for ALL are getting better.
Mta is running on E, the roads are a pothole/sinkhole mess, we lack greenery in almost every neighborhood, trash is everywhere due to the lack garbage cans, and our public school system spend more money than any other city on students yet more than half of them are failing.
Taxpayers want to see something to show for what they give to the city/state. 109 million on metro cards yet only 9 million for parks, more money to NYPD like they don’t get enough already. Does that make sense?
Exactly.. people hating on the poor, and whatever little pittance is thrown their way.. but we're cool with corporate subsidies, crazy tax plan, etc.
You missed the whole thing buddy.
The guy made a comment comparing how he could afford his MetroCard as a teenager, versus ADULTS today being unable to afford a MetroCard, and my response was that, as a teenager he didn't have real bills, as opposed to the ADULTS who do.
Nobody is talking about teenagers supporting their homes. We're talking about ADULTS being unable to afford MetroCards because their money goes towards supporting their homes.
Like I said what working class adult is only making 12k a year? Minimum wage will be $15 an hr, that’s still almost 30k working full time. Who is this program really helping, who is the target audience? Now lower income workers.
Two wrongs don't make a right. 2018 when the only thing a democrat and republican can agree upon is the middle class should pay for everything without any of the benefits.
I don't view helping the poor as a "wrong" though..
Also, again.. we give WAAAAY more to the rich than to the poor, so it's not even comparable anyway.
I work. I bet I work more than you do. And I'm happy to have my taxes going to making the world a better place for the people around me who are having a hard time.

Some of those people are just lazy.
The middle class is just getting it both ways. From the rich and poor.
