Why is it that when 2,977 people died in the World Trade Center Attacks we freaked out as a nation and spent trillions to retaliate, but when approximately 245,000 people die each year as a result of poverty (according to Columbia University, Mailman School of Public Health) no one seems to care? Are the poor less important?. It’s been estimated that it would cost 175 Billion to eradicate poverty in the US. That’s less than we’ve spent on the ridiculous, broken F-35 fighter. The problem is conservatives. Every time efforts are made to help those in poverty they cry “Socialism.” Conservatives are liars. Every excuse they offer is a lie. Jesus was very clear. There are two masters, and you can’t serve them both. You either serve one or the other. Who will we serve in the US as we move forward? Probably the one we’ve been serving for a long time now.
