ALL Poor People Must Qualify for Financial Relief During the Coronavirus Pandemic
.jpg)
As Congress prepares a plan to give financial relief to the people of our country, we must ensure that no poor person is left behind!
Those on Social Security, Disability, Supplemental Social Income, Vets, Homeless Individuals, TANF, Stay-At-Home Parents, Under-the-Table Workers, those on Temporary Protected Status, DACA recipients, Greencard Holders, and Undocumented Workers among others should not be excluded. If you live in the United States, and you make under $100,000 a year, then you should qualify for all financial relief from our government, including whatever checks they send out.
Why is this important?
All of us have added expenses during the Coronavirus Pandemic. No one is immune or exempt. Without added income, we cannot pay our rent, stock up on food and supplies, purchase medication, or pay our bills. It is not just those out of work or who make between $12,500 and $75,000 that are suffering. We need to give *all* residents in our country the best chance at survival we can and reduce the potential impact on our economy and healthcare system by continuing to force people to find work and the means to survive, spreading the virus further and prolonging the impact of the pandemic.
If we exempt people from government-provided financial relief, then we are putting their lives at risk. Our goal should be to save as many people as possible.
NO POOR PERSON SHOULD BE EXEMPT!
We should *all* qualify for the government help we need to survive and thrive.
