You see a person with EBT card or somebody in your apartment building getting subsidized rent, and it's easy, "That lazy freeloader - they're the problem with this country."
But are the poor really what's wrong with the country?
Think about it. The poor have no power. They can't manipulate markets or events. What do they have to do with the global financial crisis or the staggering rise in the cost of oil over the last several years?
Maybe the people don't hate the lazy freeloaders as much as they used to because the EBT cards and subsidized rents never seemed to have the same impact as unchecked greed is having now.
