    Jesus was magic. When you can pull fish and bread out of your ass then we can talk about giving other peoples hard work away for free.

    Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, Jesus gave thanks and broke them. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve baskets full of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.

    Moisened bints lobbing schimtars at people is no method of governance and neither is magicians pulling food out of a hat.

    Wankers.

      Aiding the less fortunate in society benefits everyone, same as maintaining roads or building libraries.

      For decades republicans have artificially raised the bar for that aid and lowered the aid actually received, for no reason than to appeal to the crowd that thinks taxation is theft but uses modern public amenities anyway.

      The rampant cutting of those benefits and handing the rights over to corporations is one of the major reasons we have a nationwide health care crisis, just for one example of how those cuts end up hurting everyone.
