Worshiping the 1 percent

Conservatives don’t care anything about us poor and hard-working middle class people.

Conservatives are control freaks using the abortion and same-sex marriage issues to get elected. While giving us double-talk and trickle-down economics, they create policies that benefit only the top 1 percent so it doesn’t have to pay its fair share of taxes.

Why don’t Republicans work half that hard supporting people who are alive and struggling to make ends meet from day to day?

God would care a lot more about them if they were more concerned about the poor, the needy, helping with health coverage and overcoming poverty. He is more worried about those who are living and in need of help, now.

When you get right down to it, the only God that the conservatives have is the top 1 percent.
