S.C. Lt. Gov. Andre Bauer Compares Helping Poor to Feeding Stray Animals

"My grandmother was not a highly educated woman, but she told me as a small child to quit feeding stray animals, You know why? Because they breed. You're facilitating the problem if you give an animal or a person ample food supply. They will reproduce, especially ones that don't think too much further than that. And so what you've got to do is you've got to curtail that type of behavior. They don't know any better."

Many may find this surprising, or even outrageous. I, however, am not surprised, but I am outraged.

The one silver lining in our current political polarized climate, is that many in politics are starting to display their true colors. The true and deep hatred, and sense of entitlement are showing through. When the wealthy procreate, it's ALWAYS planned, and intentional? When the poor procreate, "They don't know any better"? I would like to ask Bauer what exactly "They" don't know? Maybe "They" don't know that they should not consider themselves worthy of procreation, because they are poor?

Bauer came from a wealthy family, and never had to struggle in is life.
This leads me to conclude that the wealthy really do believe that they are superior Americans! They feel they deserve more, and should, by all means, be given a stronger voice in deciding the direction of government, and OUR nation.

Why would a republican oppose abortion if they believe the poor breed like stray animals?
Bauer is a Republican, the party that wants to completely outlaw all forms of abortion. How can one proclaim that poor children are like stray animals, and that feeding them "results" in them "breading", yet wish to outlaw abortion?

How did we end up here?
We are slowing moving towards a 'Let Them Eat Cake" society, and the slow demise of the very vision of our founding fathers. What ever happened to "Bring us your tired, your weary, your poor"? What would our country be like if more like Bauer were in a position of authority in our government?
