Depends what sort of evangelicals you mean there. Trump has been kind to the Franklin Graham right-wing bunch for sure - so far. He has bigger fish to fry. And I think that a Congressional Tax Bill that cuts welfare for the poorest including cutting medical aid for sick children to give tax breaks to the wealthy will in time make the poor and indigent in your home State far worse off than you can imagine. One or two mentioned abortion up thread. Well, here's the thing about being pro-life: you can't claim to be pro-life and in favour of a Bill that robs kids of life saving medical treatment. So I will ignore anyone from now on who supports this Bill and who claims to be pro-life; s/he is just a vain hypocrite, and I will deservedly dismiss their whining about Hillary and abortion accordingly. This is what I mean by fake Christianity. I'm really not interested in it.
Well, Matt, I think that you have a mistaken notion of what is going on with this tax bill. Franklin Graham is hardly right-wing--I don't recall anyone ever saying that about his father Billy Graham. You can hardly in any sort of fairness call the Southern Baptists right wing--they are moderates.
The tax bill does not cut medical aid for anyone. Under US law for many decades, hospitals cannot decline to admit anyone. Supposing you are in Indianapolis, Indiana, and you are just passing through and you are penniless but you need medical attention and hospitalization. You will be admitted and treated. Medicaid, medical welfare, pays for that. In Indianapolis, you might be transferred to the county hospital if you are not taken there in the first place but in extreme emergency you will automatically be taken to the first hospital that can handle your need.
As for your charge about the wealthy, we are not socialists in this country, but the Trump tax plan is clearly skewered to favor the lower and middle classes, as many have already documented on this board. Also, we have millions who pay no taxes at all, a reversal of historic policy that required everyone to pay a portion of any income over the standard deduction.
As for your comment about what good is pro-life without welfare, I know that you are not suggesting the murder of the unborn because they might be poor, but that is the traditional talking point of the hardcore leftists in this country. I suppose that you could say the left are extreme materialists.
Hillary and the Democrats have had a plank in their platform for 50 years supporting abortion on demand. There is no way that abortion on demand can be reconciled with any teaching of Jesus. What is fake is this Professor Mathewes' call for the federal government to dictate job descriptions for each citizen so that one has to do what is morally repulsive because of federal law. As everyone agrees, Professor Mathewes is too cowardly to go into the no-go Islamic slums and other Islamic areas and demand a special cake for a sodomite event. If you want a government that tells you what kind of work that you can do, you should try China or North Korea or Cuba.
