This is blowing up on YouTube right now. Probably because of how true it is.

I'm pretty sure he's not hating on welfare as a whole, just people who are using it who don't need it

I lean about as far left as you can go

you know there are people who think everyone should have welfare, right? And that they're dramatically to the left of you?

Oh yes, I'm a major supporter of UBI.

Edit: I'm not hating on people who use welfare, earlier I just stated what I thought he meant in his song by the phrase "milking welfare" to mean people who do not currently need it, using it.

No, not because his ideas and beliefs don't align with mine. In fact a lot of what I have seen does fall in line with mine, but because I haven't actually read up on most of his ideas in detail, I've just casually heard about them.

Edit: lmao I thought you meant Andrew Yang before I googled that term
