There are quite a few people in the United States who think being poor is a breeze.

An astonishing poll by the Pew Research Center found in January that a majority of the most well-off people in the country are convinced poor people have it easy. The reason? They believe the poor enjoy access to government benefits “without doing anything in return.”

There are all kinds of ways to poke holes in that idea. There’s an observable physical and mental toll that accompanies living paycheck to paycheck. Welfare in United States has a work requirement. And there’s little evidence that assisting the poor has a corrupting influence or makes them less inclined to find a job. In the meantime, the rich enjoy a host of unique government benefits — all without doing anything in return.
