Let's face it, we would rather teach man to fish so he has a lifetime of food, they want to push man down and hurt every chance they get. WTH is wrong with those who claim to be Christians who do not love their neighbors and march against the small children but rail against abortion.

Democrats would teach a man to fish, take the man to a place where fish are, give him the tools he needs to successfully catch fish, make sure he's catching fish, then leave him to his own devices and allow him to thrive.

Republicans would dump a man in the middle of the desert 100 miles from a fishing stream, give his clothes and fishing gear to a rich man who sells them and keeps the money, tell him he has to fish to survive without telling him either how or where, then claim he starved to death because he was too lazy to fish.

In theory, Democratic party economics favor the people, but in practice they favor corporations.
