Republicans Can’t Stop Attacking Poor People; It’s Just What They Do

There are few groups in America that Republicans love to attack more than the poor. In the minds of Republicans, anyone that isn’t wealthy is a lazy government moocher, and that’s why they want to destroy the welfare system. But these attacks are based on lies.

Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses the real problems with welfare in America with attorney Howard Nations.

Do not think for a minute I did not detect the snarky sarcasm of your post.

Just try living for a day in my white male middle-class God-fearing shoes, and you will know what I have to put up with every day from my inferiors. I actually saw a man near the Wal-Mart asking for money, AND HE WAS NOT A PREACHER!!!

Do you know what that does to my PSYCHEEEEEE?

Christ didn't ask us to help the poor
He demanded we help the poor
He said nothing about judging the poor first.
He was real clear about who would do the judging
It ain't us
