The threshold household income where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits is a lot higher than the official stats suggest.

There’s a key bit of bullshit buried in this line that I’d like to call out. This calls back to some old fashioned conservative propaganda from decades past.
It’s the idea that the left thinks with their heart while the right thinks with their brain. It implies that emotionally stunted greedy assholes are actually smart and admirable, while things like empathy and giving half a shit about the lives of people outside your circle are weak and foolish and “giving in to emotion.”
But giving in to greed and anger are just following God’s plan or some shit.
