    People deserve to be paid for the work that they do, and it doesn’t matter what that work is.

    Yeah, this. This right here. This is exactly why your argument falls apart.

    We have people in the US who have jobs, but can’t afford to keep a roof over their head and to feed themselves. The argument people are making is that they deserve food, and not to fucking starve to death. You’re arguing that they need to give someone money so they don’t starve.

    People are arguing what work they do shouldn’t matter, and you’re agreeing. But because of the western views on capitalism and western views on social programs, you’re claiming that the food producers won’t get money and therefore are essentially saying these people should starve.

    These people tend to work jobs that the upper class doesn’t want to do. But for some reason, you’re arguing they also don’t deserve appropriate pay or the right to a safe life.
