It's not a liberal or conservative thing!

Get Your Facts Straight - More Poor Working Now Than Under Reagan!

"Over the last two decades, large shares of SNAP households have become working households. In 1989, 42 percent of all SNAP households received cash welfare benefits and only 20 percent had earned income. [After 8 years under Reagan only 20% of poor worked!] By 2010, over three times as many SNAP households worked as relied solely on welfare benefits for their income.

[CBPP, 7/9/12]

It's not a liberal or conservative thing. It's the truth. Christians should not be "going after" the poor. In fact, my Bible says we are to do everything we can to help them!
