Yeah...OK.I am my brother's keeper.
This is a basic Christian philosophy.
This is what Jesus teached, preached and lived.
Yes, He did. He wanted us to WANT to help our fellow man. I do that. I do it happily. But nowhere in the Bible does it talk about being forced to help. Being forced removes the fundamental part of being a Christian - to do it WILLINGLY.
And... the more the government stays out of my life, the more I can help my fellow man.
Sooooo, we're a Christian nation, now?I am my brother's keeper.

And exactly how is that 40% of the people that do not pay any federal income tax being their brothers keeper?

More often than not, those "crappy decisions" are prompted by personal greed.
for example:
People took ARM loans becuase it allowed them to take cash out from the re-fi and temporarily lower their mortgage payments....with the attitude of "I will worry about it later, when the ARM adjusts"...
People lost money in the market becuase they were hoping that their money would make easy money for them.
People charged infinite amounts on their credit cards so they can have items they otherwise could not afford....and they neglected reading the fine print because "it really didnt matter to them"
People took jobs based on vacation time offered and other fringe benefits, not taking into consideration the hiring/layoff history of the company, the liquidity of the company, or the lack of differential required by an employee....making all employees dispensible.
Joel down the block took an ARM and used the cash out and extra cash in his pocket due to the lower monthly payment to buy a boat.... and he ridiculed me for taking a flat rate re-fi and not having the same benefits he had from it....well, now he is in foreclosure, and I am not....so I should now assist him?
Don't confuse greed with stupidity.
Greed prompts stupidity.
In other words...
People do stupid things to satisfy their greedy desires.

So, basically, you have no argument against what I said. Cool.
If so, you're using what you think the majority of the RW as support in what you say?Sooooo, we're a Christian nation, now?I am my brother's keeper.

According to the majority of the RW...yes.
Well you are just a glass full of sunshine aren't ya Bucs?
Look for every welfare queen, there are at least 20 others who need money to pay their rent and are tirelessly applying for jobs that will be to their skills and qualifications. Not wasting his and other companies time and energy at a job he/she doesn't care about and isn't productive at.
Obesity maybe a problem, education needs to be out there. But you obviously haven't been fat. You don't know how easy it is to gain weight and how hard it is to get it off. My girlfriend gained 15 pounds in 2 weeks because she had a patella dislocation playing soccer. 15 pounds in two weeks. Its going to take her months to work that off.
Yeah I know what you're going to say "Well go work out" but even when you do, most shit we eat is bad for you. Not only that, you have work, school, responsibilities that don't allow people to get in the necessary workout needed to maintain or lose weight. I think I saw somewhere that women over 25 have to work out an hour a day to maintain the weight they are at if they eat normally. An hour to just maintain? Damn. I think thats why I rarely see women in my school ever eat.
You're the problem, you don't think fat people feel like shit? They do. Alot of students of mine are overweight. I hear what students say to them, you think people like being fat? Hell no. You think people CHOOSE TO BE GAY? Yeah I would love to have my family disown me and have the threat of getting beaten to death.
At the end of the day, we are all Americans. Black, white,hispanic, gay, fat, everyone is an American. Some are doing well, some are not.
But a rising tide lifts all boats. Whats best for Americans is to help Americans.

Really. What did poor people do for the first 150 years of this country? Did the poor suddenly appear in the twentieth century?
