      I mean, we had to do something about the moral peril of allowing the poors to buy CAVIAR on SNAP. These people might think they are just as human as the elites if they were to start eating caviar, and we cannot have that.

    Well, thank goodness. As the intrepid reporters of the right have discovered, you could use SNAP benefits to buy caviar!

    That needs to be reserved for the Worthy People! People that get SNAP benefits, by the very fact that they are getting those benefits, are to be treated like Unworthy People, and need to be reminded of that every hour of every day of their lives. Our betters may get around to eventually ensuring that the Unworthy only get stale bread crusts for food. If they have water clean of any contaminants, they should count their lucky stars, but that’s the only drink they’ll be permitted, as well. Definitely no soda!

    This is the only way the moral scolds that only apply their Puritanism downwards on the economic ladder will be satisfied, ultimately, and we should always be sure to cater to those people.

    And taxes increased on the poor incoming since that’s how dictators pay for their kingdoms. They extract ever more from the lower classes to pay for all the privileges those in the ruling class get.
