Contributing sentiments towards policy:

61% : I believe that if there wasn't so much shame around poverty, and if there was a robust social safety net in the United States, that's what we would have.
55% : More and more Americans who never expected to need a social safety net are now, in some cases personally, very aware of that problem
53% : The fact that in a year you could go from being wealthy or upper middle class to living in your car shows that we don't have a social safety net in this country.
49% : Slightly over one-third of respondents in the survey believed that most welfare recipients would prefer to stay on welfare rather than earn a living.
41% : Jeff Bezos likely could have paid much more in taxes and still launched himself up into outer space.
39% : However, what is wrong is how many Americans are not paying their fair share of taxes.
30% : In practice, this fake honorific was used to disguise the reality that the working poor were being asked to die for capitalism while being underpaid and otherwise exploited.
