And they call themselves christians.

Ronald Reagan's "trickle down" economics (in a nutshell, tax cuts for the rich) is to the middle class what a colony of termites is to a fallen tree trunk. They both have a hollowing effect. Every Republican Administration since Reagan has followed Ronnie's fiscal lead to some degree, most notably his Royal Orange Foolius Himself. The Done Cheato gave the wealthy a tax break that would have made Reagan blush. As a kid the only time I ever saw beggars and homeless people was when my dad took me on fishing trips Mexico. Now they're part of the American landscape. Way to go, GOP!

It's become rather common across the country for the government to go after lefty groups, like peace groups esp., that feed the homeless, such as Food Not Bombs. They don't want those groups developing a positive public image by feeding the homeless, since the old tactic of simply calling them Communists, doesn't work as well anymore. Can't have people openly opposing the MIC and endless wars making a good impression on the public, because it might make opposing war too popular.

On the other hand, if a Christian or mainstream Catholic church feeds the homeless, they leave them alone. It's all about whether the group feeding the homeless is challenging the local power structure or not..

It seems the government of the state of Arizona has been taken over and is ruled by fanatic obstructionist regressive republicans fascist who do not have any real consideration for the Majority of those who live in Arizona!!!

It seems like you can feed the homeless if you do it through an organization that takes over half your money. They do it and get away with it. Now that is the American Way.
