One of them actually likes the government feeding them.  The other complains about "big government spending" as they are part of the reason why the government spends so much.

Hypocrites piss me off.

I'm not sure "likes" is the right verb.

Which one of these groups complains about big government while being on welfare supplied only because our government is very big (at least economically)?

One group appreciates that the government helps with their basic needs, and those of others in similar circumstances. The other group feels entitled to their individual assistance, but resents that others are also getting it. Of course there are exceptions to each, but by and large that's how it works. To say the Harlem guy "likes" that the government feeds them would imply you've never actually interacted with people on government assistance. Almost none of them WANT to be on assistance, and fewer still LIKE that they are on assistance. They'd much rather be self-sufficient.

Yeah, but my point was the Harlem guy doesn't want welfare eliminated; the Trailer Park guy does.

They may not like being on welfare, but they understand it's purpose and want it fully funded by raising taxes on the globlaists.

I mean, people are allowed to complain about things, even if they do the very things they complain about.

Which is why I said "like" is the wrong verb in your OP, because it might just be careless language, but it reinforces outdated stereotypes that people on welfare prefer it to earning a living wage otherwise.

That’s hypocrisy.
