Republicans oppose any and all state aid to those who are poor, that’s a factRepublicans have no qualms about CEOs making millions while their employees struggle to survive , republicans are so selfish and self centered they don’t want any of their tax money going to help make education affordable so the poor can improve their lives and get away from garbage joke jobs such as in retail or fast food. Does it really hurt them so much to have a small amount of their income to help another human being ? Would Jesus really support the greed and materialism that capitalism is based on? Capitalism is based on greed at all costs- if killing millions makes money capitalism says do it. How is this Christian?
Is it because most republicans are Protestants - who don’t believe in charity as a necessity for salvation?
See James Chapter 5
5 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.[a] 6 You have condemned and murdered the innocent one, who was not opposing you

Because your typical Republiturd is dumber than a box of rocks.
considering how many strawman you have in your question its based on too many false premises to answer
“Republicans oppose any and all state aid to those who are poor, that’s a factRepublicans have no qualms about CEOs making millions while their employees struggle to survive ,”
- State aid doesn’t help the poor, it just creates people who become reliant on the state for handouts and won’t work for themselves. It is essentially wealth redistribution from the most productive, hard working of our society, and rewarding failure. Republicans understand that wealth redistribution doesn’t help the poor as much as allowing people to keep the money they earn, which is a better long term investment in the economy than distributionism.
“republicans are so selfish and self centered they don’t want any of their tax money going to help make education affordable so the poor can improve their lives and get away from garbage joke jobs such as in retail or fast food.”
- Society has an IQ bellcurve, and if someone has a 97 IQ, chances are they won’t be good enough in school to be as successful as someone with a 110 IQ. Not everyone in society can be upper-middle class, it just isn’t reality and isn’t feasible. I don’t believe, nor see evidence, that increasing school funding would change that. Many people blow their chances already in a the public system. Ultimately, the working class does exist, and there’s no amount of funding that will change societies economic hierarchies.
“Does it really hurt them so much to have a small amount of their income to help another human being ? Would Jesus really support the greed and materialism that capitalism is based on? Capitalism is based on greed at all costs- if killing millions makes money capitalism says do it. How is this Christian?”
- Well, yes, it can be for the negative. Welfare, and any state system, is easily exploitable. Is that Christian, to be punched in the face by your child and not punishing them? Nowhere in the Bible does God or Jesus espouse statism as the means to serve the poor, but individual actions, which conservatives already do more than liberals, donating to private charities.
Acts 4:34-37
“For there was not a needy person among them, for all who were owners of land or houses would sell them and bring the proceeds of the sales and lay them at the apostles' feet, and they would be distributed to each as any had need. Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles and who owned a tract of land, sold it and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet.”

- Dude, I already give to charity, what are you talking about? Clearly, you haven’t done your research on this topic. You’re just pulling a converse accident fallacy.

Biden says “poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids,” LOL
Your lie about Christians hating the poor is pathetic. LOL
Because they're only "Christian" when it suits their interests. They'd like you to believe that Jeezus cured lepers and made the blind to see, but they don't mention that Jeezus didn't send the cured huge, grossly-inflated bills later on.
And Jeezus Himself packed an AR-15 while he was writing the Second Amendment.
Many Christians in the US have conflated capitalism with Christianity. Interestingly, there was a Catholic priest in the early 20th century who educated a few students in the Basque region in Spain on the idea of broad-based ownership as part of the Social Gospel. It became the Mondragon Cooperatives. I see more Christianity in that than in what passes for Christianity in conservative American politics.
They think that since Jesus loved the poor that it is good to make more of them.

I believe you are correct Leon. There's a big difference between conservatism and capitalist greed, but many people don't seem to know that.
They are Christians in name only.
