Republicans: Feed a man if he’s hungry

You could teach him to fish, of course.

But it’s almost impossible to learn a new skill on an empty stomach.

That’s why studies show over and over that unconditional support results in more people getting back on their feet and contributing to society.

You may not like it, you may think it’s socialism but it’s the truth. And it works.

They don't care. And neither does the Supreme Court. Lives are irrelevant when power and money is the goal.

Sections from a recent NYT article/expose:

With little public scrutiny, the Trump administration is handing out hundreds of billions of dollars in tax cuts to some of the country’s most profitable companies and wealthiest investors

The Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, through a series of new notices and proposed regulations, are giving breaks to giant private equity firms, crypto companies, foreign real estate investors, insurance providers and a variety of multinational corporations.[/

These breaks come in addition to the roughly $4 trillion package of tax cuts that President Trump signed into law in July. The legislation, passed entirely by Republicans, heavily benefits businesses and the ultrawealthy. It is projected to add trillions of dollars to the federal deficit and came with steep cuts to health care for the elderly and food stamps for the poorest Americans.

The irony is that there's more people in red states dependent on SNAP than blue states. This is what people voted for. Supporting the richest so they can suffer. It's nonsensical and speaks to a true cult mentality.
