"When it comes to billionaires benefiting from the generosity of the American taxpayer, the holiday spirit is alive year-round. Nearly 100 of the top Fortune 500 companies now pay nothing in taxes.
"Meanwhile, the Trump administration is kicking 700,000 hungry people of their nutrition benefits.
Republicans defend these cuts to food assistance by

Or do we build a humane, equitable society that ends poverty, hunger, and homelessness – and allows everyone to live with dignity?"
