Republicans have done the most for the poor. If you look at charitable donations, Republicans and specifically Religious Conservatives which are overwhelmingly Republican, we donate more money, and more of our personal time, to helping others than left-wingers or Democrats.
Republicans are greedy. Theyre out for themselves as evidenced by their reflexive support of tax cuts for the rich. According to New York Times columnist Paul Krugman, the GOP is the...

This is universally documented. Dozens of research papers all point to the fact that Republicans in generally are vastly more charitable than left-wingers and Democrats.
By a wide margine too.
Further, Republicans have better results than Democrats.
Republicans use private charities, which help people actually get out of poverty. Not stay in it like Democrats.
For example, we have a charity here in the city, that helps ex-covicts. Free room and board. They can stay there for up to 4 years. They get job training, and job placement.
I worked at the shelter down town, which provided job training programs, and placement into apprenticeships, and we paid for moving expenses to help, typically women with children, to get into an apartment of their own.
None of the government programs do any of that. Instead people stay on welfare, and never move out of their poverty condition.
So unlike Democrats, we actually help people.
And by the way, Democrats never even attempt to help people. They say "we're helping people" but the reality is, no Democrat votes to support taxing themselves. They want to tax OTHER PEOPLE, to pay for the programs they claim will help.
Name one time that a Democrat on stage in from of hundreds of thousands of middle class people, told everyone "We're going to tax the middle class, to help the poor!". Never. They only claim they will tax OTHER people.
And if you vote Democrat with the expectation that you are not going to be the one taxed.... then you don't care about the poor at all. You only want other people to care for the poor, which makes you a stingy greedy miserly person.
