I don't know how much clearer it can be when people are declining to work because the minimal aid given by the government is worth more than working two jobs, the problem isn't that the substandard welfare checks are too high, but that wages are regulated far too low for the working man to be sustained weighing up to steep rent and bills seen in modern america. the only valid reasons to not raise wages are that there's an economic loss to businesses, which is already compensated by government contracts, and risk of inflation, which rises regardless in new republican leadership since they've completely abandoned fiscal conservatism--this being quoted from rand paul and ted cruz. if you don't want to fight poverty or systemic racism, just say so. don't cop out with circular reasoning and antiquated policy.
