So if Food Stamps are a corrupting factor in the Black Community as Newt thinks...

What about the corrupting influence the changes in the Capital Gains Tax did to the Investment Class, those in and supporting it...

It is pretty simple to me, the GOP, no matter how many Black People they can parade on stages, are, at heart, racial.

Not so much the people running the show, they are more calculatingly cynical, but the majority of the rank and file.

Letting a poor, single mother get $10 extra will make her slothful & lazy, while giving Wall Street investor get $100,000 extra will make him productive & resourceful.

And if you believe that, I've got a bridge I can sell to you cheep.

If you're rich, that's proof that God loves you.
