Collateral Damage

Sounds acceptable but it's really the killing of innocent people without accountability.

We have become what our ancestors were afraid we'd become. Heartless murderers.

Republicans have it half right about Welfare...

Welfare, and similar programs, should not exist.

But, what they will not admit, is that these social programs exist to support businesses that pay below a livable wage.

This is not welfare for the poor. It is a giveaway to business. The poor are compensated by the government so that business may profit.

Business profits directly from the taxes we pay and the poor are blamed.
