11. You guys need to get busy and vote assholes like that out of office. The democratic party

and people like me that are fortunate enough to live in solid blue states must provide any help that you say you need. Inhumane bullshit like Campfield and Jindal are pushing must be stopped.

$25 dollars may not be much to some people, but for a poor person, that is money that buys gas money to go to work or to go out looking for a job. The Tennessee asshole doesn't realize that parents that are not well educated themselves don't have to tools to assist in their children's educations. Instead of assholes like the Tennessee senator finding money to fund adult education where adults can get a functional education and start to understand it value, the asshole punishes those people and their children in a way that insures more poverty. Instead of funding nutrition programs and looking at the school day so that children can get food in their stomachs before starting class, assholes like the Tennessee senator trip over themselves to cut money to such programs.

The diseased testicle says " we don't expect them to be rocket surgeons". He's the prick that want to cut assistance to familys if their kids don't do well in school.

7. This guy is the last one who can afford to punish a child for being abused

This bastard is taking victim blaming to a new low.

This TN senator's attitude is, "I'm going to punish poor children for being child abuse victims." What kind of a monster is this cretin?

9. Bashir ripped him a new one. Senators and representatives of states like TN can't

correlate that the reason why their states are broken down hellholes is because of people like them. They punish the poor with penalties and tax policies and lick the behinds of the rich, and all they create is a poorer state that gets abandoned by the moneyed.
