You’re accepting the dems premise that Republicans are “beating up on the poor?” Not me.
You don’t know a damn thing about what I’m accepting. I formed my opinion from watching self righteous assholes right here in this form talk about crap like deporting the poor.
If you don’t have the manhood to face that fact I can’t help you.
Just found a great speech by Ronald Reagan:
“Well, I would suggest that no one should have a vested interest in poverty or dependency, that these tragedies must never be looked at as a source of votes for politicians or paychecks for bureaucrats. They are blights on our society that we must work to eliminate, not institutionalize.
Now, there are those who will always require help from the rest of us on a permanent basis, and we’ll provide that help. To those with temporary need, we should have programs that are aimed at making them self-sufficient as soon as possible. How can limited government and fiscal restraint be equated with lack of compassion for the poor? How can a tax break that puts a little more money in the weekly paychecks of working people be seen as an attack on the needy?”

Republicans can’t seem to articulate a plan that would lift the poor out of poverty. Nor can they seem to legislate with a plan to left the poor out of poverty.
My plan? Defund the regulatory un-elected bureaucracies repeal 95% of their rules and focus on growing the economy with much flatter, simpler tax rates.
Just as an example, the poor used to be able to grow produce or buy it wholesale and sell it. Now you need business licenses, tax ID numbers, accountants and lawyers.
