Tax light weights

..
Citizens who don't pay Federal Income Tax (unfortunately now a slight majority) don't have any 'skin in the game' other that what they peel off my back.

Real Help

Can anyone tell me why liberals are so against helping those who really need help?

There is only so much money to go around and liberals are satisfied with diluting the funds that should go to those who need help by giving an equal amount to those to merely want help.   This means that those who really need the help to become self sufficient are held back.

I know it is hard work to determine who really needs the help, but if they don't want to do the hard work, then they should stay out of the game.

Maybe they are afraid that someone (or some group) will not like them or they are scared of being seen as insensitive?

I don't get it!

Sad Political Joke

      
REPORTER:   Can you tell me your understanding of the direction of the U.S. economy?

OBAMA:   It's all Greek to me.

Lazy Christians

Last week I had the chance to talk to a guy carrying a sign stating that Jesus was a socialist.   I asked him why he thought Jesus was a socialist.   He said that Jesus taught that we should take care of one another.   He was using his understanding to explain to me why he thought Obama’s health care plan was a good thing.

I tried to explain to him that Jesus told us we should take care of one another, but it is a personal responsibility, not a corporate responsibility.   (If you don’t know the meaning of the word ‘corporate” used in this context, see a dictionary). 

If Jesus would have intended taking care of one another being a corporate responsibility he would have instructed the Pharisees to raise the temple tax so they could take care of the poor.

Each of us has the personal responsibility to personally take care of one another.   To count on the government to do this is to be a lazy Christian.

Handout

Not a lot has been written lately about the people who stand near intersections and ask for money.


I would like to congratulate them for having the courage to ask me directly for money instead of hiding behind a government that reaches into my back pocket to give my money away to those without enough courage to ask me for a handout.
