And in posting this here in this particular thread, the inference is?
They grow food, have large cattle ranches, have canneries - and FEED THEIR OWN and countless hundreds of thousands of others when natural disaster strikes - around the world.
For one example - Haiti: “...provided over one million pounds (25 semi–trucks) of food, hygiene kits, water filtration bottles, water systems, and medical supplies such as medicine and wheelchairs. Two thousand seven hundred tents have been distributed to families forced to leave their homes. ...
has had medical teams on the ground since January 16. The physicians are tending to the wounded by performing surgeries, setting broken bones, and providing other medical attention as needed. Physician teams continue to treat children and families in clinics established at these nine facilities...”
For their members in need of help in time of illness or job loss, they do not go on public welfare. In dire straights, the church even pays rent, utilities, etc. Does yours?
These are the reasons the church has so much land - not to control, but to follow His teachings.
Like Paul Harvey said: “If all churches followed the LDS welfare program, there would be no need for gov’t welfare.”
They are simply adhering to the admonition to take care of the poor and the hungry. That's a bit different from Soros and cronies purposes.
The church is among the first on the ground in catastrophes with plane/truck loads of food and supplies - and people. Few people are aware of that either. the church doesn't publicize it.

Note: The Mormon Church is more interested in shopping malls and cattle ranches than in helping the poor. By its own admission, the Mormon Church gave $60,000,000 in humanitarian aid last year. It is spending 15 times that for shopping malls.
In Jan. 2006, from the Church PR department, (Deseret News Publishing Company): Edgley said, “that since 1984, the LDS Church has donated nearly $750 million in cash and goods to people in need in more than 150 countries.” That averages to 37.5 million per year or about $3-$4 per Mormon member went to the poor. The total of $750 million in 22 years spent in cash in goods to people in need is less than HALF what the church is spending on these malls. Less than half!! The Mormon church is spending less than 1% of its income to help the poor. Is the Mormon church really a charitable organization?
