@dmsolano9 @KevinWerner127 right it's not like he's saying "these people are themselves inherently burdensome," he's saying the opposite: we've created a policy climate where having relatives who are elderly, disabled, or minors is punished financially, and we need to rectify that with better policy — PolitiTweet.org

@p1huycke if you look at what he actually said, it's that full employment/modest wage raises are not going to solve poverty, which is true. he didn't say he's against any of that, just that lifting the min wage *alone* doesn't really help a single mom with two or three kids all that much — PolitiTweet.org
