But if poor white Americans die they don't make more poor white Americans to support fascism and die in war.
You're probably right though.
I misread the title as South Africa so at first I was like what the fuck are you even talking about.
Actual answer: slavery, the civil war, then segregation, then Jim Crow, then redlining, and through all of it slave labor through prisons that disproportionately hold black people. All these things create generational poverty as well. Now it is seen in the attacks on woke and DEI. The United States is profoundly racist.
These people don't understand long term thinking. Cutting Medicaid will stop the poorest Americans from getting preventative care. This will massively increase the cost to the country when they have to go to the emergency room to try to save their life later on. Our taxes will pay those exorbitant bills.
I read that for every dollar in funding, the IRS brings in five dollars. But it's long term, so it's impossible for these fuckers to comprehend.
People say it that way where I live but don't spell it that way unless they mean a nice word for bullshit.
