People aren't poor just because they don't manage their money right.

Many are. I'm not going to bullshit you and say everyone is going to be rich but if you're competent, hold down a job, and don't have children you're going to have an acceptable amount of wealth.

I'm not against hurting poor people, but there is the culture of people voting for policies they'll never be impacted by because they pay fuck all for taxes. This is especially true on the city level. Property taxes are going fucking crazy in my area because the council is fucking nuts and thinks we're just going to throw money at the black hole of homelessness and the drug abuse, not to mention all the other useless and ineffective programs. People need to have skin in the game to not just aimlessly vote for shit policies that undermine the nation. We can't have this underclass of people who are just nonstop voting for gibs.
