Letter; The Washington Post
I published this letter in The Washington Post on August 2;
Seems that Representative Barton, with a wicked pen, has nailed a problem we have in this country. The Unites States hates poor people.
With whatever label we choose to hang on them, illegal aliens, homeless, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera, they are the scum on our shoes that we want to scrape into the garbage.
We haul away our garbage to the dump in this country. And so it is a matter of great frustration that we can't do the same to those people.
Isn't it a tenet of Christianity that what we do for the least of our brethren, we do for ourselves? And don't you know, Representative Barton, that bureaucrats are the screen behind whom politicians hide when they don't want do deal with the effects of the laws they pass.
