Why do you hate poor people???

Why do you continue to make policy choices that push working Americans closer to hunger? Why is it that every fight in Washington lately seems designed to protect billionaires and punish the rest of us? Millions of families are one missed paycheck away from empty refrigerators. Millions of seniors depend on SNAP to literally survive. Children cannot learn when their stomachs hurt. These are not theoretical issues. These are not “nice to have” programs — they are basic food and basic dignity. Yet almost every time Congress and the White House make a decision about budget priorities, the outcome looks the same: Deep cuts or delays to programs that feed the poor — and carve-outs, loopholes, and favors for the ultra-wealthy. And so the question must be asked directly: Why are the needs of the American majority — the 99% of us — treated like they don’t matter? You do not have to make these choices. They are choices. You could pass a budget that makes sure Americans can eat. You could fully fund SNAP. You could stop treating poverty like a moral failure and instead treat hunger the way every morally serious nation does — as a problem government is responsible to solve. Instead of bending over backwards for billionaires, private jet owners, and megadonors — try helping the people who actually keep this country running: teachers, retail workers, nurses, truck drivers, air traffic controllers, airport screeners, caregivers, warehouse workers, farmers, seniors, parents, children. Stop inflicting cruelty through budget games. Feed Americans. Fund the programs that let working people survive long enough to keep the American economy even functioning at all. History is watching. And so are we.
