Address corporate subsidies, not struggling families
To: Rep. Lofgren
From: A verified voter in San Jose, CA

This proposed legislation addresses an imaginary problem and fails to tackle the true welfare recipients - the oil and gas industries that benefit from substantial government subsidies and tax breaks. Cutting nutritional assistance for low-income households while allowing massive corporations to continue exploiting tax loopholes is misguided and unjust. We should be focusing on closing corporate tax avoidance schemes and reforming a system that enables the wealthy to pay disproportionately low taxes. Fiscal responsibility demands addressing the real drivers of economic inequality instead of perpetuating harmful stereotypes about welfare recipients. I urge you to redirect your efforts towards policies that uplift struggling families rather than those that further entrench corporate greed.
