My problem is not that people need help - it's that they demand the federal government provide that help. Every need could be met by foundations. It would solve all of our problems. And if the left just can't let go of their government obsession - then at least do it at the state and local levels where it is actually legal.
If "Foundations" could take care of the poor, we wouldn't have had a New Deal or a Great Society.
The thing is, they weren't taking care of the poor. You need to read a history book and find out what the poor actually lived like back in the oldy days, it sucked.
"But, but, but, the Founding Slave Rapists said so" doesn't fly, guy. **** the Founding Slave Rapists.
And for the recorded - while a lot of the comments may not represent God or the U.S. well, I think one needs to take into account the frustration that conservatives feel of having liberty stripped from them and listening to liberals call for more unconstitutional government. That gets really aggravating after a while.
Guy, having to pay your fair share for living in a civilized society is not being oppressed.
Your idea of being "Free" is having the poor going around looting to survive and you running around with a gun pissing yourself out of fear.
That isn't "Free", guy.
The thing is, you guys talk a good game about making government smaller, but whenever you get into power, two things happen.
1) Government gets bigger.
2) Deficits grow
