Speaking truth to power and authority has never been more necessary. Where has authority placed power in modern times? The current rules in place work for the wealthy, powerful, privileged, and the entitled, which are now extremely politicized. It isn't that the rules are so unjust, it is that we have enabled abuses to the spirit of our laws. If you attempt to criticize the unfairness of one, the politicos point the finger at the other and the discussion becomes mired in irrelevance. And so, this politicizing of basic rules of social order has become a machination of corruption. Power in the name of what is just, good, and shared with all is the only path to reclaiming a government by, for, and of the people.

you will hurt a lot of needy people. If you are an adult of working age who is not sick or disabled what is your excuse to be on the dole for years on end? You are quite naive.. No different than wingers thinking trickle down economics still works or that we will eventually spread democracy and be true patriots after we spend a gazillion dollars in the middle east
