City leaders over the past 20 years have also been seeking government dollars by moving public housing to section 8. Those qualified for section 8 housing rarely join the work force. This trend needs to be stopped for the region to grow. I ask you to think before you add to the “tip jar” that has been floating around the local businesses this summer

I read this before my morning coffee and then again after to see if I could make better sense of it. I read a similar letter to the editor of the LDS a month or two back. I assume you were the author.
I'm struggling with; how does "not tipping" the person who gets up and goes to work (maybe to evolve out of section 8) help the problem? Why are you taking your anger against a politician, out against the "blue collar" who are working?
