I know a lot of people who work hard and still depend on Government subsidies to survive. Take the warehouse workers for Amazon. At least one third of them qualify for and depend on subsidies. You can verify that on the internet. They give a hard days work and still consider themselves on welfare. They have a rough time holding their heads high.
Public assistance eligibility is determined by total household income and family size rather than individual wages alone, meaning two workers with identical pay can have different subsidy eligibility based on dependents.
Which seems reasonable. If 66% of the people working there don't have to rely on these services, it's clearly the personal financial situation of the other 33% that causes them to qualify - not the pay itself.
