(20,146 posts)Even if $75 Billion being spent providing food and healthcare for "able bodied" people is a waste, it is 5% - that's FIVE PERCENT - of the $1.5 TRILLION that the GOP gave away with that tax cut, to people and corporations that didn't even need it.
These idiots just don't comprehend the concept of "working poor", yet they don't want to raise minimum wage a penny. They don't comprehend that there are people who lost their jobs because of COVID-19 who are still unemployed or under employed. I just spoke with a former co-worker who hasn't worked in a year. She had been making $100K as an HR manager!
They don't comprehend how many parents, mostly women, have had to leave the workforce to stay home with their children, whose schools were closed because of COVID-19.
Their stupidity and lack of compassion are mind boggling, and most are very proud to point out that they are Christians. Really? PROVE IT!
