There are a lot of people conditioned to see the little guy getting money as some kind of affront to freedom. Most of them are the little guy as well, unfortunately.

    But but thats different, that guy down the street with two kids who wakes up at 6 and goes to work every day doesn't deserve that money for reasons I can't articulate without sounding racist, But I deserve my check.

    Listen, I'm a hard working American and I come from hard working Americans. We built this country and we're just having a hard time for the last couple of months but we work hard. That guy up the street, he's needed "help" for years. That isn't help, that's a handout. He's not trying. I can't see any systemic reasons that things might be more difficult for those people, they just aren't working as hard as us. I mean sure he goes to work but where is he working? Why doesn't he just get a better job like I did?

    /s although I'm sure someone has said those exact words and meant it seriously.
