1. The reason so many parents would not qualify is the earnings requirement that leaves out poor people.

I don’t remember the exact salary requirements, but I think it might have started around $60,000 to be eligible for full benefits. Even with both parents working full time at minimum wage jobs, they won’t make $60,000. So once again, Republicans shaft the poor while doing very little for the middle class and giving huge benefits to the rich.
