Huckabee and Cotton throw religion on it to make themselves feel better about their own enormous wealth
According to Pew Research, 48% of Arkansans believe aiding the poor does more harm than good. 46% of Arkansans identify as Mainline Protestants and 48% say they read Scripture at least once weekly. 45% of Arkansans say Scriptures should be taken literally. Despite the prevalence of poverty in Arkansas, 55% of Arkansans say they would rather have smaller government and fewer services. 46% of Arkansans believe that humans always exited in our present form, denying any possibility of evolution. These are significantly large percentages and show that political conservative propaganda is woven with religious Christian conservatism.

For people like those in Arkansas, even their poverty is "God's divine will" and Cotton's money shows God's favor. Doesn't everyone know someone who believes that same way, despite different religious affiliations?
