A prominent local man said recently that giving poor people food was like "feeding stray animals".
That man was none other than Andre Bauer, who is running for the Republican nomination for Lt. Governor in, yes you guessed it- South Carolina! He made his remarks during a town hall meeting in Fountain Inn that included overly represented white state lawmakers and about 115 overly represented white constituents. It concerned government food assistance to poor people, mostly black in his state:
Note: In South Carolina, 58 percent of students participate in the free and reduced-price lunch program.

Bauer's remarks came during a speech in which he said government should take away assistance of children receiving food assistance during school hours if their parents didn't pass drug tests or attend parent-teacher conferences or PTA meetings.
"We can't afford to keep just giving money away." Bauer said, "They continue to have more and more kids, and the reward is there's more and more money in it for them."
-Totally for real- sad, sad sad. . .
