Claims that Jimmy Carter said, "If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor – then stop saying you want a country based on Christian values, because you don't."
Former President Jimmy Carter never was quoted as saying that U.S. tax dollars should help the poor or "stop saying that you want a country based on Christian values." Because you don’t!" the full quote reads. [...] "Fincher and the GOP ... cut services for the poor and taxes for the rich. And it’s a free country. They’re allowed. Because you don’t. And that’s why representative Fincher is our ’revoltingly fake Christian of the week'!" he said on a Current TV show in May 2013.
