Getting pretty tired of liberals/progressives telling us all how rich they are and then blaming the system that allowed them to generate that income, what exactly are you doing with it other than delegating responsibility to someone else for what you and your wife could do yourself. It you truly cared you wouldn't be here posting but would be out during this holiday season doing something about it like volunteering for charities of interest to you vs, expecting a federal bureaucrat to do it for you
Some problems are so big, only a big organization can resolve them. If you don't think that sending money to the "federal bureaucrats" solves anything then you would have left the south to face the malaria that plagued it for so long, eradicated by federal bureaucrats. Malaria was not even close to eradicable by local efforts, the sickness and deaths would have continued with your ignorant thinking. But, no, somebody's taxes were used to help others, many of them poor. Boo ****ing hoo.
Part of being in a religion means taking responsibility and not delegating it to someone else you always do. My religion is indeed greedy in that it expects people to help others instead of forcing them to do it like you want. Seems that religious people never do what you want them to do thus making it wrong. I feel sorry for people like you but one day you will get it.
Religious people are drug addicts who cook their own meth inside their brains. It's an evolved behavior, culturally and physiologically. Once you realize that, that evolution describes EVERY aspect of our being and our habits, it's hard to pretend that all the different gods and demons and heavens and hells aren't just different flavors of the same bull****. And if there is, in fact, some benefit our species derives from believing in magic, then so be it but I don't have to be happy that adults are still playing make believe in order to deal with their problems. The blood is conspicuously present too.
My wife of 40 years died six years ago today and she was my best friend. Her legacy lives on in my life of actually helping others while not complaining about you not doing your part.
If people were doing their part, we wouldn't need to tax them and pay for this GIGANTIC social problem of poverty, a threat bigger and more dangerous than the malaria epidemic. Just blaming people for their being poor is as stupid a solution to poverty as just blaming mosquitoes would have been for the malaria problem.
It's too bad about your wife. No doubt, she was the smart one.
I know that sending dollars to the federal bureaucrats is never the answer, makes you feel good but solves nothing. The dollars I spend go directly to people in need not through some federal agency in hopes of getting something back
Then you've never been in need. If you don't understand how important it is that there be SOME help when all seems lost you've never known real human need. I'm comfortable now but I come from dirt poor West Virginia hillbillies and my wife's people are Mexican. I know that there are many children and old people and mentally ill people who are suffering because of your greed religion. Shame on you for not just ignoring but slandering all the good that federal bureaucrats do.
And yes it is jealousy because what someone else gets to keep of their own money is none of your damn business. I never cared and celebrate the success of others understanding that the federal bureaucrats aren't the answer and you sure represent that reality
Well, you're wrong as **** and your post is paranoid gibberish. Celebrating success is a code word for wealth worship, apparently. Does celebrating success mean you must be apathetic to the unsuccessful? It's one thing to celebrate success it's another to punish hunger and ignorance. What is wrong with you that you can so easily dismiss that contradiction in your thinking knowing, as you must, that the poor are human beings who need certain basic things or else they die or become a plague upon the very country you claim to love? Shall we just ignore reality and pretend the choice is theirs alone? How does that solve anything? That "free will" bull**** you guys spew is a cheap, absurd self exoneration, Trump style, considering how much has been done to keep the poor down.
Rather than feed the federal bureaucrats, you would have children starve or go through life ignorant when WE could have done better for them. I can't comprehend your perspective because it's so cruel at its core. The idea of human cooperation NOT for profit is an abomination to you and the pursuit of money is a virtue. Human rights must trump property rights when lives are at stake. You don't get to watch someone drown because you didn't want your expensive shoes to get wet. Get it? No...probably not.
