Well since you asked. It’s a bit of a long answer.
I am 100% shareholder in a subchapter S corporation. I do not get a paycheck I get shareholder benefits. I am the only one that works for this company but basically for free.
I am supposed to qualify for unemployment under the new COVID-19 rules however Pritzker has not approved or set up any funds for people in my situation even though the federal government has given him money.
I should also say I have lung cancer and I am doing what they told me to do which is quarantine myself. Which means I can no longer work. Which means I don’t have any money coming in and the company doesn’t have any money coming in.
I am not destitute I have saved my money and have assets because I worked my whole life.
But instead of helping someone like me who is the backbone of this country, the mayor of Chicago has seen fit to give MY money to the criminals who invaded my country.
But it isn't your money until it is given to you, which it isn't. You don't comply with the criteria.
You appear to have sufficient funds to do alterations to your dwelling, so you don't seem to be in a difficult and dangerous financial situation at this time.
What point are you trying to make?
My tax $ is going to people that have never paid taxes.
It isnt right brah!
Lolz🤪
Yes some of those receiving benefits have never paid taxes.
Some of them are exceptionally wealthy and are on record as avoiding paying taxes equitable with their wealth.
They may be just on the side of legality, so they don't get prosecuted, but they absolutely minimize their contributions to the country - like your President has boasted that he has done.

Yeah I was born here
But so are others who can, and do, get benefits.
What is different about you?
Sounds like a U.S. citizen which was the point of the post....
Lolz🤪
The point of the post missed the point of what benefits are actually there for, and the post was really a bigoted diatribe vilifying minorities for something they themselves have not caused.
No, the point of the post was they are giving all this free money to people that have not paid into the system their whole lives like I have....
You people
Lolz🤪
Us people?
I don't qualify for a benefit from any US government agency.
And the money isn't free, it is mostly sourced from taxation. A big chunk of that taxation money will be used for things that absolutely have no direct advantage to you personally, but that doesn't mean that the government should refund you the money that doesn't directly apply to you.
It would be pointless to collect taxes from you just to give you back exactly what was taken. The government uses that taxation money to fund itself and its initiatives, some of which aren't immediately going to fatten your wallet (or stomach).
What?
That has nothing to do with the Chicago mayor giving my tax money to people that have never paid into the tax "system"....
Why cant they go where they have been paying taxes for years?
Lolz🤪

Perhaps they have always been below the taxable threshold and have been living there for years?
You are vilifying people based upon a hypothetical because you think you have ownership of something you have already given away to to the government.

In the country that I went to school, primary and tertiary education is free, funded by those who pay taxes. At the time I was going to school, I had never been a wage earner. Therefore I was receiving the benefit of taxation money when I had not paid any taxes.
I suspect that your schooling was similarly funded and that you had not paid any taxes for your education at the time, miserable socialist that you are.

Incredible.
Please read your OP and consider the responses that are telling you that it was bigoted. Obviously others see it that way.
Why?

Got it....

How astute of you.
But it isn't just Trump that is at fault. I'm fairly sure that most of the top US companies are also not paying their fair share. The burden of taxation in America falls on the lower middle income earners most of whom are in a fiscal squeeze, the majority of the time.
