I've been hearing criticisms about the type of
people some folk think take advantage of
government assistance. “But Josh, what if it's a
drug addict that uses SNAP funds?"
Oh honey,
My American tax dollars have funded terror across
the world.
It has purchased bullets that murdered civilians in
Iraq.
Paid for bombs dropped on children in Gaza.
Financed police violence against Black and Brown
bodies in my own country.
It has subsidized private prisons.
Been used to exploit the poor
And enhanced the wealth of billionaires.
Allowing an addict to eat might be the most holy
thing my tax dollars have ever done.
