I'm sorry but I have to correct John when he says things that are just not biblical but pretends to know scripture. Proverbs 6:-11 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. 9 How long will you lie there, you sluggard? When will you get up from your sleep? 10 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest-- 11 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
2nd Thessalonians 10-13 Don’t you remember the rule we had when we lived with you? “If you don’t work, you don’t eat.” And now we’re getting reports that a bunch of lazy good-for-nothings are taking advantage of you. This must not be tolerated. We command them to get to work immediately—no excuses, no arguments—and earn their own keep. Friends, don’t slack off in doing your duty.
Jesus said the poor you will have with you always. I know many churches who have out reaches for the poor in their communities. So Christians are not against the poor. What we are against are people who will not or refuse to work for their money, food etc... we aren't about just giving hand outs if you are fully capable of a days wage. I know a few people that I recently found out that they are getting 400 per month and another 600 per month in food stamps. i asked them how that was possible since i know them to live in decent houses and drive decent cars and carry cell phones in their pockets. They laughed and both said the same thing. It's so easy.
I hate to say it but liberalism will ultimately be this countries demise.
