Do you believe in…

* Requiring all able bodied people to work and contribute to society
OR do you believe in…
* Generational welfare (they need us – they can’t do it alone)
* Rewarding bad behavior such as drug abuse with social security disability
* Requiring someone to work for their welfare check is akin to slavery (that was in a Milwaukee Journal article las year)

I believe in “voluntary” assistance to the (poor/disadvantaged/undereducated/displaced/etc).
If a person wants to give their own money blindly, that’s okay with me, but I don’t want government programs using confiscated/stolen money to do anything, noble or otherwise.
If we do presume that we are all “our brother’s keepers”, I doubt seriously that Saint Peter will be impressed by our asserting our holiness because of a lifetime paying taxes.
