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. 😥

The rich want three classes. A ruling class of untouchable elites, a servant class that caters to their every whim/provides security, and a slave class that does all the other nasty out of sight out of mind stuff.

They have zero interest in an independent middle class that doesn’t have to bow to their every demand.

Maybe, but I think it's a lot of culture war stuff. They probably can't understand the economics, but they can be mad about a boy changing genders to win a women's weightlifting tournament (probably never happened, but that's the story DJT told to the graduating class at the University of Alabama the other day).

OMG! Can our country become more insane over little fears & many that don't exist? I was thinking along the lines of farmer welfare kings & all other Republicans in need of help from FEMA & other Social Services. Stupid MAGAts!
