And that is the very purpose of means testing to begin with: to deny the universality of social safety net benefits. Forcing underprivileged people to "prove" their worthiness and suffering and lecturing them on "living within their means" and "earning" their benefits through forced labor is a very convenient way for the wealthy to keep their wallets closed, if not impose their power onto the marginalized. Emphasis on *mean*.
