In reply to the discussion: Some brutal Honesty regarding republican trolls EVERYWHERE [View all]Beartracks

I love how Republicans think that you tackle the problem of a hungry child by giving tax breaks to corporations so that MAYBE they will invest in new business (instead of giving bonuses to shareholders) and MAYBE they will hire some workers (from America) and MAYBE they will pay a living wage (if they're forced to) so that MAYBE a few pennies will trickle into a community where that hungry child lives (if the child is still alive).
I remember Jesus' parable of the good Samaritan. After finding the beaten, starving man on the roadside, the Samaritan lobbied his Congressperson to cut funding for aid and food programs so that the victim would be incentivized to no longer be a victim. Isn't that how Jesus told it?
