"One of the good ones", means you work for the regime as a token minority and have to help the regime oppress others just like you, so the regime can go around saying "See, we aren't discriminating, we even have a [Insert Racial Slur Here] working for us".
Which is ridiculous because those people paid into the safety net when they had jobs. I was on unemployment for about 7 months and I didn't feel the least bit guilty because I had been paying into it for 20 years. Well, technically my employers paid it, but they paid it with the results of my labor.
Although I did work a temp job doing physical labor during that, but it was mostly an effort to get a full time position in my career at that employer (it worked). Plus it helped with the depression from sending out hundreds of applications without getting a single interview.

It's a criticism of conservative Christians who vote against funding for social services. The same group largely responsible for Trump's election.

US republicans, who purport to be the party of Jesus, want to deny help to those who don’t have a job.

Shouldn't matter. A modern society has enough resources for all. We just won't.

It’s utterly criminal to want to rob people of their earned benefits. But that’s Republicanism for you!
