    If you never personally have to call firefighters because your home is never on fire, if you never have to use WIC, unemployment, etc., do you also think your taxes shouldn’t go to fund them? Not funding a social safety net because you don’t think you’re going to personally get anything out of it is, I think, a very bad take.

      I don’t think like that at all. We need to fund ALL of these programs 100%, it just feels like we keep funding them by taking cuts of social security istead of other things that dont need to be funded (ie. Corn, Oil, etc.)
