Bryan Fischer tells poor people: ‘Kiss the ground’ beneath the richest 1 percent

Again, if Democrats wanted to win, Conservatives provide them with an endless stream of weapons-grade political ad material.

Bryan Fischer, the director of Issues Analysis for the fundamentalist American Family Association (AFA), said on Tuesday that people who used welfare and other government services needed to “kiss the ground” beneath the richest 1 percent of Americans.

On his April 15 broadcast, Fischer opined that President Barack Obama was using the Internal Revenue (IRS) service to “go after the 1 percent.”

“The top 1 percent are funding 30 percent of the government!” the radio host explained. “So, rather than the poor, the low income and the middle class being resentful of these people, they should be kissing the ground on which they walk!”

...

“Every bit of this is the involuntary transfer of wealth,” he remarked. “That makes us a socialist country. This is Marxism on display.”

Luke 14:12-14
Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

It is their government.

They should fund it 100%.

We certainly do not have a government for and by the people.

Only those with money have free speech rights in the U.S.

Again that is the 1%.

They should be funding everything !!!!!!!

Oh what a burden to bear paying taxes on an exorbitant income, bonus, or capital gains.

I would love to feel their pain.

Can I share with you kind of a funny story? It's in Luke 16:14-31. Compare that story with 1 John 3:17 and let me know what you think then about socialism and Marxism. Because it sounds like that's what you'd call Jesus.
