In a disgusting display, even by TEApublican standards, Stephen Fincher (R-TN) quoted the “Book of Thessalonians” from the New Testament to justify letting the poor starve. Fincher smugly stated on the House floor:
The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.
Of course, it’s a well-known attribute of conservatives to see things
in black and white while often missing more nuanced aspects of real
life. In Fincher’s warped mind, people that need help are just lazy
moochers who should simply pull themselves up by their bootstraps, even
though, as most liberals know, many of these people don’t even have
boots–or functioning feet in the context of this analogy–for that matter.
We have three points to make to Mr. Fincher and anyone else who buys into this absurd and disturbing way of thinking.
