Food Stamps\EBT or whatever subsidies small business like bodega's and farmers as much or more than they help the people you don't like.The world is like this, we have a surplus population, the least of these people work bullshit jobs for bullshit wages so that a few more talented people can stand on their heads as management and business owners and live happier lives. Those businesses would not exist without these lesser jobs being filled, yet paying those positions better would create wage competition and hurt other sectors in addition to lessening the livelihood of the above mentioned management and owners. So we subsidize the lower class to keep them fat dumb and happy. If you get the chance or the inclination, read up on the concept of "The Velocity of Money". The gist of it is that money is a place holder for debt, wealth is only established if that money is traded. These people that you are describing serve society as money pumps. Would you rather your taxes sit in some government coffer or go to Isreal?
