    I think the point is nobody should live in poverty. Fullstop. Addendum to that, workers should be paid a fair day’s wage for a fair day’s work. But the first sentence is the core of everything.

      They don’t agree with that, they think that if you have a job you are more worthy of being allowed to live.

        Ok, I’ll bite.

        I think that if you contribute to society you are more worthy of being allowed to live. Live meaning receiving a living wage, not life or death.

        “Have a job” is one way to do that and there are many many situations in which it is more difficult for some people to “contribute” than others. But to paint anyone’s political opinion as black and white is a real right wing"ish" style attack.

        It sucks, but the libs are the lefts conduit for change. Without them we will be stuck leaning farther and farther right as the right leaners continue to actually work together to take our rights away and we waste our time infighting over stupid shit like this.
