Yesterday morning during a speech at the Family Research Council in Washington, Michele Bachmann bashed the unemployed in perhaps the most heartless way possible. After vowing to weaken social safety net programs such as Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, and unemployment benefits, Bachmann said that if you are currently not working, you should not be eating.
“Our nation needs to stop doing for people what they can and should do for themselves. Self reliance means, if anyone will not work, neither should he eat.”
Bachmann is saying that the unemployed should starve themselves and their families since they are out of work through no fault of their own. She might as well have added that the unemployed shouldn’t be allowed to have clothes or a roof over their head. This statement by Bachmann shows how much the Republican Party loathes the unemployed. They have zero compassion for anyone or anything. Even Jesus fed the needy. These Republicans have no Christian values at all, nor do they have humanity.

Charity should be for those who can not work, not for those who WILL not work.
To give assistance to someone who isn't WILLING to work is not even humane. It simply encourages dependancy by someone who is capable of providing for themselves.
Illegal imigration is justified by the left because they say the illegals are doing the work Americans just WILL NOT do anymore.
Low wage jobs are being done by illegal aliens because many able bodied Americans would rather live on welfare and parasite off of their neighbors rather than work at a job they consider to be beneath them.
Three cheers for Michelle Bachman! If you're not WILLING to work I'm not WILLING to feed you.
