    There was a saying I heard a while back that keeps popping up. A version of “Democrats would rather feed 100 people in case one was hungry, Republicans would rather withhold food from 100 people in case one didn’t deserve it.”

      Just in case, this is Democratic and Republican voters. Democratic politicians mostly agree with Republicans on this but in a pinch will means test 100 hungry people to find and feed the hungriest of them.

      That is not even accurate, their leaders, the ones controlling the party, want to starve all the poor, they want nothing but harm to the poor, because that’s what the party wants, and they believe in nothing other than self interest.
