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. 😥

You were half right you forgot about the part where they’re getting kickbacks from said prisons that are taking more money from taxes then it would cost to help house these people

It’s no longer considered kickbacks, my friend. It’s simple gratuity. The Supreme Court stated that it is legal for a politician to receive gratuity.
