"It is more blessed to give than to receive." when you receive aid from a Christian, it is as though Christ himself is tending to your needs and that is a great blessing. When you give to someone who is in need, you receive a plethora of spiritual blessing! When governments take care of the poor, they keep Christ from bestowing blessings on people. In that sense, big government is an "anti-Christ".

Great insight, mlocher! Thanks :)
