They already do all this with social safety net programs like Social Security and HUD/Section 8. Go to jail, lose your benefits. Every year is a ton of hoop jumping and massive stress while I recertify for my housing voucher and the measly $2 in food stamps they give my family per month. And that’s without me even going to protests anymore.
Please. It’s not about “willpower.” Poverty plays a part. Genetics plays a part. Our unhealthy lifestyles under capitalism plays a part. But go ahead and blame people for things that might just be beyond their control. That always makes a difference. /s
