RG,
Your being logical and Christ-like in your concern for the poor and less fortunate -- BLESS YOU. 
Repubs hate facts, logic and Christ-like behavior. They love MONEY and Trickle-down economics as the godless, soulless predatory Fascist corporatism as espoused by Reagan and his pal Pope John Paul II and their love of such human killing actions  as Iran-Contra, the Dirty Wars, etc. 
All the best to you and yours.
