They’re best known as an opposition group against social welfare programs including SNAP (aka food stamps) and Medicaid. So pro child labour, anti welfare.
They state they raised $14.5 million in 2023 toward this effect. Now seriously imagine: wealthy people spending millions of dollars toward trying to keep kids from eating meals and low-income families from having a safety net.
