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!
Whos paying for the EBT cards? Whos paying for food stamps? Whos paying for the women and infant children program? Whos paying for subsidized housing? Whos paying for Medicaid? It is the top 1 percent, he continued.
