The Absurd GOP

GOP senator insists 'Biblically, you're supposed to work' to earn medical care

Sen. Jim Justice (R-WV) defended the GOP's planned deep cuts to Medicaid that could kick over 10 million low-income people off health insurance.

Justice said, "Biblically, we are supposed to work."

"We have taken the dignity and the hope and the belief away from a lot of people where they are hopeless, they think they can't," he said.

Justice, who inherited a coal mining business and was a billionaire before his net worth was wiped out by extensive debt, has nonetheless warned his fellow senators that other aspects of the bill's cuts could be going too far, including a proposal to force states to pay more of the cost of the food stamp program.

I'm struggling to remember the Bible verse wherein Jesus sent Lazarus an invoice for services provided. Can a brotha get some help?

(Bold mine)

I also don't recall Jesus collecting chits from the loaves and fishes crowd. What I do recall is selling your stuff and giving money to the poor, not mistreating strangers in your land, feeding the hungry, tending the sick, and clothing the naked (except Valk) with no expectation of demanding that they work for this help.
