BHO is a Muslim?

I would argue the pathetic stance is the one that says others should have to work and pay for someone elses problems. If one chooses to give to help another then they will be blessed. That is God's plan. To embrace the idea that anyone should be forced to give of thier income to another person simple because the Fed deems it "right" or "fair' is not only disgusting but troubling. Troubling that the people in this country have become so perverse that they think someone else has a right to someone elses money and goods.

This is not a communist block. This is a capitalist system. You want something...earn it.

Not to mention it violates fifth amendment constitution rights "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. "

My earnings are MY private property, yet I go home every payday with less than I earned.

THinking like this gives us the greedy awful insensitive BAD GUY label from the socialists and leftists. They accuse of of hating the poor, being against family, being cruel to children and animals and blah blah blah.

I want to be able to help the Christinas of my community. The ones who want to do better. But many of the "Christinas of the country are perfectly fine with the gravy train and have no desire to change their circumstane. State pays rent, food stamps keep food in the fridge... life is good.

Redistribution of wealth pure and simple. If I and my wife make 70,000 a year and the family down the road only makes 25,000, well the "just and fair" thing is for the state to come along and take some of mine and give it to them.

Never mind the fact that their daddy works one menial job and comes home to smoke dope every evening and has no desire whatsoever to better his and his families circumstance and mommy sleeps till the soaps and/or talk shows come on.

Socialists sure do love spending my money and yours.

There would be more charitable giving if the government didn't tax us to death!

[Nitehawk013]

Exactly ChTatum!!!

When they steal so much that I have to scrimp to makes ends meet, how can anyone expect me to poor the rest into charity? I have a family to take care of...not the one down the street.

Its funny that the ones that want to redistribute wealth sure seem to be holding on to theirs!

Just wouldn't you like to do all your christmas shopping with someone elses checkbook?

Think of all the great gifts you could give.

The belief in socialism is only as deep as someone else's pockets.

The government is giving you a just compensation for your taxes even in redistrubiting the wealth a little. It's called a better society. One with less homeless (hopefully). One with more parenting (hopefully). All these things help keep crime done (hopefully). Now maybe what they are doing doesn't work. That is one argument. But if the redistrubtion of wealth actually accomplishes these things that are hoped (even if it is just a few percentage points of gain) isn't that just compensation?

EDIT: Christians aren't the only people wanting to do better in your community. Further, if you bless your friends with your money as you say you desire to do, what reward do you have over the sinners, don't they do the same?

Err, please reread, I said CHRISTINAS, as we were talking about a hypothetical lady named "Christina". Not Christians. I still say charity ios something that should be left to me, not to the federal government.

Do you really believe this?
