‘Make it make sense!’ Distraught young mother’s economic plight hits a nerve

A distraught young mother’s plight is renewing righteous anger over a system that doesn’t appear to support middle-class American taxpayers, and as in this case, works against them.

In the video, the young woman explains that her daughter needs medical attention, but on her $60,000 salary, she can’t afford it and can’t get government assistance because she makes too much.

“I feel only in America can you need medical assistance that you can’t afford to get, and in order to get government help, you have to make under a certain amount,” she began.

“So if you’re someone who makes $60,000 a year, you don’t qualify for any f**king help, but you can’t actually afford to get your child any f**king help…

“But if I quit my job and I go work at McDonald’s, I can live off the government, and then she can have the help that she needs?

“Make it make sense. Make it make sense!”

This mother makes $60,000 but can’t afford her daughter’s medical procedure. However. If she were to downgrade her job and salary, she would qualify for government medical assistance for her daughter.

What’s even more messed up is that she’s from Denver, where every migrant gets… pic.twitter.com/x1utsgQCh7

Tragically, this is a far-too-common predicament, and as many who responded to the story pointed out, it’s likely by design.

THIS IS THE FORCED GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY the DEMOCRAT POLICIES FACILITATE, and despise from personal experience.

This is exactly how the Democrats want ALL of US to live
-Stay poor
– live off the government
-and keep the Dems in power

Democrat logic, Rich pay more, abolish the middle income, and the low-income/poor live free, with no stress to work.

Middle Class WTFU, RISE-UP

This is a perfect example of backwards priorities, American citizens especially working families get punished for earning too much to qualify for aid, while migrants get free healthcare on our dime

This is the reality for families of special needs children. You can not afford their medical treatment if you are middle class but still make to much to get help. Your only option is to make less and live with nothing so your child gets the help they need.

@realDonaldTrump @VP @EricTrump
Can we fix this problem where real Americans who work 9-5 jobs still can not afford to get surgeries for their children.? Meanwhile, illegals, who have no job, are ripping us off to the tune of billions, while driving a Rolls-Royce’s and…

As former federal US nuclear scientist and conservative influencer Matt Van Swol pointed out: “The system we built to help people escape poverty is actively punishing the people trying to escape poverty.”

In America right now, you are financially better off being poor than being lower middle class.

It is better to be financially poor and qualify for government benefits than it is to work hard and be lower middle class, and qualify for none.

The system we built to help people…
