Why Are Republicans So Relentlessly Cruel to the Poor?

Interesting article and much of it chimes with what we see in the UK.

It has to be coated with a thin veneer of religion to make it acceptable but in essence right wing politics is based on a selfish me me me doctrine. DISCUSS

Ridiculous. Our poor are wildly wealthy compared to much of the world. Liberals like to concoct sob stories to excite sympathy just to get more and more.

You don't see anything in the UK.

You didn't even know how popular Brexit was.

if you actually thought about it, it is dems keeping them dependent and holding them back. The repubs want them to be successful. Not sure how you get where you got. your facts are messed up.

What do you do to help the poor or less fortunate!?!

You seem to like to wiggle your little finger at others, but those like you do very little to help the poor.

So unless you donate time and resources then you have nothing to complain about when it come to Conservatives and their wish to keep the government out of their ( conservatives ) pockets...

[Weatherman2020]

Considering conservatives give more to charity and donate volunteer time 3X more than leftists it looks like once again you are chewing your own shoe.

Who’s More Generous, Liberals or Conservatives?

Who Gives More -- The Rich or The Poor?

Who's more charitable -- conservatives or liberals?

Why are much of the poor in The United States fat?

Because they eat terrible food and cant afford good food.

Somebody needs to inform him that the conservatives of the past were even more "selfish" and to drop his faux philosopher act.

I'm not rich and I'm a Republican, I'm 65 and live on widows benefits and do okay.

I even did some volunteer work at the local hospital.

Republicans aren't any different when it comes to the poor than the democrats....they're just more careful with what programs they support when helping the poor....and the best way is to have them help themselves eventually not be on welfare forever.

Like I said, I'm not rich but have never been on welfare and I've also never worried about my widows benefits or Medicare being taken away by a republican...that's not going to happen in my lifetime.

It may happen to the younger generation and it could come from either side, so I'd have a plan B if I was just starting out in life.

Yes, I just got through kicking a poor person.

In my own defense though, I tripped over a dead body who had starved to death in the streets while avoiding the corpses of dead children who were denied universal healthcare as I was on my way to watch old people be thrown off cliffs.

You Stalinists come up with the most magical tales.....

I am pescatarian, so I am guessing my diet is healthier than your diet...

Of course they can afford good food. Good food does not taste as good as bad food. Food is the way the poor reward themselves. They can't afford a new car but they can afford an ice cream cone. They can't afford a steak but they can afford a big mac.

Because they want their follower to believe they are being punished for their own good. Thats why a lot of the idiots that fell for Drumpf wanting to repeal Obamacare had no idea it was the same thing as the ACA.

That you do volunteer work at the local hospital in itself tells us that you're a conservative.

Too bad people like Rosanne Barr, Michael Moore, Janet Reno, Hilary Clinton, etc can't afford a good meal.
