It’s the Christian thing to do. People that have lost their jobs duto conditions beyond their control should be helped.

Then you help them. I’m tired of it. If you can’t find a job in a year then you need to apply for welfare, not continue to receive unemployment benefits.

Aye. It is the Christian thing to do for people to use their own money to help those in need. That is Charity. Taking money at gunpoint to help others is not Charity, it is thievery.

Next time I'm in Church I'll make sure to force someone else to pay when the collection plate comes my way./sarc

At some point, it's not longer helping; It's facilitating sloth.

That's liberation theology.

Christ did indeed promote charity. However, it was charity of the heart, not the Gov't forcing it upon people who are struggling to get by themselves.

If unemployment insurance is not there, people will find themselves working harder to support themselves. The dole breeds laziness in the majority of people. That's just a fact.
