Republicans suddenly care about income inequality? Do they understand that cutting SS hurts poor?

[J_J_]

Republicans are pretending to be the new champions of the poor...

They need to be called out on their support for cutting social security for disabled people.

I'm not sure which part of cutting money off from already suffering people doesn't help income equality they don't understand....

It's not nice

It's not Christian

It's a terrible way to treat veterans who they pretend to care about

And it certainly doesn't help income inequality unless their plan is to kill off the disabled so there will be less poor people in their statistics?


Boner has invited Pope Francis to speak to Congress, I think they need to hear his message.

But there is no reason to wait for the Pope, I think it is pretty clear what he would say about this...

Don't cut benefits on poor disabled people you fucking morons

or something like that

1. Boehner cares so much

Last March, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) invited the pope to address a joint meeting of Congress.

“Pope Francis has inspired millions of Americans with his pastoral manner and servant leadership, challenging all people to lead lives of mercy, forgiveness, solidarity, and humble service,” Boehner said in a statement.

Boehner said the pope’s call to protect the ailing, the disadvantaged, the unemployed, the impoverished and the unborn “has awakened hearts on every continent.”


Look in the fucking mirror you asshole!

5. They love inequality

Even more than they hate obama. That's why they want to fast track the TPP.

6. NOW they "care"?!

Yet in the middle of the Dubya Depression in 2009 they were calling everyone who lost a job and/or their home lazy freeloaders. Now they suddenly care? Give me a freaking break.
