I would like to solve the problem of poverty and pay less taxes also, but it won’t happen. The poor will always be with you-As a Christian, I am supposed to help, and I do as much as I can. Sorry, we need a safety net. You don’t get it. The country is in real trouble. Many of the charities that helped the poor aren’t getting enough donations, there is real want in this country. All sorts of people are showing up at food banks and requesting food stamps and help. Charlotte has a very poor sense of timing. Let’s not make it worse.
I disagree.
Although the poor will always be with us there is no biblical injunction that says “Do not work.” As a matter of fact, the bible clearly states that one must work to eat. In this consequence-absent culture we have cobbled together with high minimum wages, horribly exploitive (of business) employment laws and liablility sharks, a culture that is entitled.
Read the last two chapters of Murry and Hernstein’s The Bell Curve to discover what a bad and what a good outcome look like.
I don't know who you think you are fooling but most people around here can smell BS a mile away and you are full of it. Name one charity that is getting less donations this year than last, name just one (besides the ones that were swindled by the crook Madoff).
You are just making it up as you go. Most charities would say they aren't getting enough donations any time you asked them. I imagine most people working would say they aren't making a big enough salary either.
If there aren't any jobs to be found why are so many illegals running across the border to live here? They seem to be able to find work without any trouble.
