Quote:should we provide everyone with computers and internet access as well? how about gas for their vehicles so they can get to work, because taking away their gas wouldn't make them productive. Don't forget we need to make sure they have uniforms for work, that can be expensive, and some jobs require close toed shoes, what if they don't have shoes, I guess we should pay for that as well.

 

So let's review, a fair and just society should make sure the poor have phones, computers, internet access, transportation, fuel for that transportation, clothing, shoes (depending on the type of work), food, and medical coverage. Did I miss anything?

 

Yes, yes, no, no, yes.

 

We have public transportation and your job should provide for your uniform if they require one. As for computers and internet access, I think that kind of thing should be provided for people (it doesn't need to be fancy, but everyone having access to the internet is crucial in today's society) and if someone needs shoes that should be provided along with clothing by the social welfare program.
