Instead of being given food stamps, poor people should be given money so that they can waste it.

This is already done. Poor people (in reality, the underclasses) are given money through government transfers payments/credits and through make-work jobs that produce nothing (in reality, "produce" negative value) for society.

I don't get your point. What's the difference between giving "poor people" (in reality, wards of the state) various petty transfer payments like food stamps, tax credits, etc. and giving "non-poor"/"middle-class" people voting/ ideological loyalty incentives in the form of "good" jobs (white-collar paper-pushing bullshit)?

You kid yourself if you think white-collar jobs amount to much more than survival-level prolefeed. They give the illusion of importance to a certain set of silicon-bedazzled sillies, that's all. Real wealth is durable over many generations. Money is not wealth, nor can it be preserved, realistically, over very long time scale. Only those who own the monetary/ financial/ economic system can award cash and prizes to their chosen peons for their chosen objectives.
