Is this accurate?

I saw a quote the other day that I thought was spot on, about the difference between the two parties:

Democrats will feed 100 people, hoping that one of them really needs it.

Republicans will refuse to feed 100 people, for fear that one of them doesn't really need it.

Sounds about right to me!

During Reagan and the GOP foaming at the mouth about the so-called "welfare Queen"/cheats.

The Democratic Party will feed 99 people who don't need help in order to feed that 1 person who does.

The Republicans will starve 99 people in need in order to catch 1 cheat.

Repukes don't want to help anyone for fear someone, somewhere, somehow will get something they think they don't deserve. Repukes will starve 100 people just so 1 of them doesn't get more than they need. It's a pretty fucked up way of looking at the world.

When the Repugs talk about cutting government waste, what they really want to cut are "entitlements" and programs that aid the less fortunate. Their rich donors don't want to pay taxes that will feed some kid somewhere, in some school, a breakfast or lunch meal. Or help some single mother afford daycare so she work one job instead of two. Or help someone get some health care because they can't get insurance or...

That's why Donald Trump won the election...

Reppblicans would starve 100 people only because one might not need it.
