I am unaware of any plank or position in the Republican party platform which victimizes the poor.

Capitalism helps all people, including the poor.

Welfare hurts them; I’d make an exception for one-time “welfare” if you want to call it that for disaster relief.

The best thing you can do for a poor man is have a good economy going and get him a good job. The absolutely best thing.

So why does this article presuppose that Republicans have anti-poor attitudes? A socialistic welfare state impoverishes EVERYBODY.

Judaism teaches that one of the greatest “mitzvahs”, or good deeds one can perform is to show and encourage a poor person how they can lift themselves out of poverty and do for themselves. This goes right along with Jesus’ teaching, Give a man a fish, he’s fed for a day. Teach him how to fish, he’s fed for life. But then, ex-poor people may become ex-democrats.
