I am not obligated to help these people and neither are you. You are free to do so and so am I. Except that isn't good enough for liberals. They want to help these people but not with their own money. They want to take it from others. And look at the results. The left has gotten its theft schemes enacted and there are still more homeless than you can count. Just as much poverty as ever. And $18,000,000,000,000 worth of debt. So what do you want? More of the same. No thanks.
OK, so the Christian thing is to let the homeless rot on the streets. Just wanted to clear that up. Thanks!
Yes, AN option is to turn your head and pretend these folks don't exist and say "f' you, leave me alone" to those you can't ignore, but I don't see how that is moral or ethical. And in the real world faith based charities haven't stepped up and solved actually ANY big problem in America. So I'm not sure what your proposal is, except to continue to ignore these folks, or know that charities are overwhelmed and say, well, life sucks for those who fall through the cracks, good luck in the next life!
BTW, I don't know who "they" are but I'm a taxpayer like you, I volunteer my time, for years, to help these people and we donate our money to that charity and many others in the area - the food banks and other faith based on non-faith based orgs who help out. So if you want to whine about people not walking the walk or expecting others to do what I'm not, you'll have to find someone else to bitch to. And in the meantime, please tell us all your efforts as a Christian to help out and then tell me why more of those like you haven't stepped up and founded charities, since you want the state to play no role....
