Re: Romney's War On The Poor

Do you have anything other than "Ed" videos from MSNBC?

How can a Christian support a government spending more than they have to spend---does the "Borrow is a slave to the lender" ring a bell?

There are more people on food stamps since Obama became president. Gas prices are doubled. Groceries cost more. People are poor because liberal Democrats keep the poor poor.

DM, what is the single most influential source of job creation? Find the answer to that question---the real answer---and you'll solve a lot of the poor's problems. A poor man needs a job, not a handout!

PS: Obama's gonna lose...

Re: Romney's War On The Poor

DM - you are so right.
We need to take all of the available money, so that we can make everyone the same.
Just like they did over in the USSR.
That ended well, didn't it...

Re: Romney's War On The Poor

At some point, welfare will go broke & be available to no one, if it doesnt go back to it's original intent: to be used by those who find themselves in destitute situations,beyound their control, until they get back on their feet--get full time job.
But, business must be hiring full time employees for this to happen.
But, business cant afford to hire full time employees (since they will also have to provide them with health insurance) without taking future benefits from it's exsisting employees (raises,ect..)
So, business dont hire.
So, folks cant find full time jobs.
So, folks stay on welfare.
AND ROUND AND ROUND WE GO


I am convinced, our only hope is Men-filled with the power of Holy Ghost (leads & guides us into ALL truth)-take charge over our country...we need HolyGhost filled Men of GOD as President/Congressmen/Senators/ect..
That wont happen,until Men of GOD run for these offices.
Please, Men of GOD, WE NEED YOU !!!

Re: Romney's War On The Poor

Used to be that able-bodied men and women had to work in some fashion for the state when they received welfare benefits.

Men would do road work...pick up trash...whatever needed to be done.

The better question is how can you be a christian and rely on the state for provision?
