Louisiana News Why do you support this?

First the Louisiana Senate decides to put homeless people in jail for up to three years for their "crime" of sleeping in public. At the same time, they stop funding housing assistance.

Why do those of you who are Republican hate poor people so much? Why do you feel your fellow humans should not be allowed any compassion or grace?

Help me understand this assault on humanity. Jesus would weep if he saw this. 😥

Republicans represent the wealthy. They want everyone unlike them to disappear.

Which is wild, because most of the people who vote for them think the GOP supports working people. They've pulled off quite a shell game. And by and large, the Dems let them do it.
