Kids that grow up hungry are more likely to enter the workforce early, doing the low-wage “essential role” jobs that the capital class desperately needs bodies for. Breaking the cycle of poverty is a big no-no for the 1%.
Yeah it does. The cruelty is the point. They’re trying to punish children and their parents for being (mostly non-White) poor.
At the same time, they’re trying to turbocharge the school to prison pipeline so their owner donors from the prison industrial complex can profit off poverty and perpetuate more themselves, leading to an infinite loop of poverty, misery and demonization for anyone who’s not already a rich cishet white man.
They don’t see a difference between bad and poor. The only exception is the perfect poor republicans - but they’re only temporarily poor, they’re going to be rich one day so all this poor bashing isn’t counter productive to them!
Except, Republicans love to punish the children of poor parents for the crime of being poor.
You don’t have to be a bad parent to be poor, you just have to be poor.
The assumption I mentioned was that in their worldview being poor is also being bad parents. Regardless, punishing children accomplishes nothing.

It hurts people. That’s the goal.
You’re trying to use logic against the illogical.
Like throwing paper at a brick wall trying to knock it down

These are the same people who think you can beat the gay out of a child. They think being cruel helps people.
