Isn't the GOP's total disregard for the poor & vulnerable the exact opposite of what Jesus preached? Should pay more attention to their hero https://twitter.com/austinlc99/status/878451088290197504 …

GOP & most people center/right-of-center believe that you should help the poor yourself, not have government do it. http://nccs.urban.org/data-statistics/charitable-giving-america-some-facts-and-figures …

Are there statistics for how many in the higher wealth brackets do it? (I have no doubt working & middle class people give what they can)

Thanks. Looked. What would your response be to how I have had fans desperately ask me to plug the GoFundMes that their health depends on?

I pay 40% tax yet I will never understand this attitude as long as I live. Communities thrive & survive by chipping in.

Imagine though if you hadn't had to pay 40% in taxes, you would have been potentially able to save enough to not need the social welfare...

Um, no. Without the social welfare system I'd have had no support structure upon which to build the music career I now have.
