GOP Rep: Poor People are Like Zoo Animals. Don’t Feed them.

“When you go to the zoo, there’s a sign that says please don’t feed the animals. There’s a reason, because they keep coming back.” -Missouri Rep. Paul Fitzwater (R) on why he opposes Obamacare

Missouri State Representative Paul Fitzwater says he doesn’t object to the Affordable Care Act providing tax credits to a reported half million residents of Missouri beginning in 2014, but he doesn’t believe in the expansion of Medicaid because, like zoo animals, The Poors will keep coming back for more if you throw them a scrap.
