The welfare recipients don't tend to regularly drop off large bags of cash, swag, and luxuries to their representatives.

Just a guess though.

the modern-day veneration of the rich is reminiscent of the ancient Greeks' absolute worship of physical beauty, which still survives to this day.

thanks so much for the share. I wish they mentioned that people can't even find jobs to qualify for the new SNAP job requirements now. I've been applying heavily since getting a certificate at college and no one is giving me a call back. I've applied at USPS, and grocery stores, still not hired. I'm trying another route but if I don't get hired next month, I will have no income for food.
