Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for September 22, 2022

Al is right!

We need to take stricter measures to wean all those big corporations off of perpetual welfare!

Only in your “mind,” – BADwyndbag!!!!

/SHEESH/

We all know giving money to the ‘lower class’ is bad for the ‘upper class’.

Depends. A lot. On how it’s done. Humans do thrive on the right amount of challenge, but they do not thrive on starvation, lack of housing or lack of education.

Apathy ironic that Badwyn and his goons of the Repugnants has none

I guess Goodwyn believes there is NO dependence, apathy, or abuse existing in America.

But, if actual people were given money, we be overrun with all of those things.

.

I guess Al has never heard reports of very rich people spending a LOT of money on drugs, with all the consequences that implies.

That is, unless, you know, he is LYING. (Not that that would ever happen)

Well, it would be helpful if ANYONE on the right could provide evidence of systemic dependence, apathy and abuse; something other than Ronald Reagan’s one example of a welfare queen.

There’s more evidence to support systemic racism creating a forced dependence on welfare systems, but you ignore that. There’s even more evidence showing that welfare support systems help most people get over challenges in their lives and move on to self-sufficiency.

But when your politics are built on hate, the above narrative doesn’t work.

The “unintended consequences” were very intended…

Simplified RW drivel as usual.

Odd. Except for the donkey it looks like Al drew himself getting paid by right wing media

See also: 1934. And on and on and on and on…

Corps need to pay taxes just like anyone else…they make so much money but yet they get off…NOT FAIR!

GOP always threatens to cut SS and Medicare..then see how manypeople go on Welfare a, DUH!

A$$-holes!

….but yet they enjoy the money.. two faced greedy baffoons!

It’s true, look at all the Social Security welfare recipients that do nothing all day but spout off on internet comment pages.

The other bags that you can’t see say “Insolvency” and “Poverty”.

Add to this an over-taxed middle class.

That hasn’t been a problem in countries that have a guaranteed income supplement. What can be a problem is companies reducing wages and counting on government to top them up.

I don’t think people like Goodwynn actually read or listen to their fellow right wingers. He probably doesn’t know that Universal Basic Income is an idea supported by Libertarians, like Andrew Yang and Charles Murray. It’s also an ancient idea, the Romans did it. Social Security is UBI for the old.

Cut fossil fuel subsidies, some have been in place since it was a new industry; Manchin insisted in getting more money for his family’s coal fortunes. Stop agriculture subsidies, most go to corporate farms and too many members of Congress suck those up, plus “celebrity” farms.

If there was universal guaranteed income, there couldn’t be abuse because everyone qualifies.

No more subsidies for petro barons, they have become way to dependent.

Uncle Al seems to have hit upon a truth when it comes to corporate welfare, except he can’t seem to draw the elephant correctly.

Right you are, AI…but the Demoncrats don’t care.

From what I’ve heard, it was a right-wing free market economist who came up with the concept. He called it negative income tax. The idea was to give everyone an actual chance at success. Not very right-wing today, though.

It worked in Stockton California:

Goodwyn’s “unintended consequences” are as imaginary as his ‘donkey with wings.’

[ He might even think he’s being ‘clever.’ ]

This is such an old, worn out pretext blaming the poor for being poor. Only it used to be the ‘welfare queen’. This is such overused garbage.

No one has talked about guaranteed basic income since Andrew Yang in the 2020 campaign.

I guess the Idea Bin is empty, so it’s time to resort to strawman arguments.
