Beware of angry rant coming full steam ahead.
Welfare=lazy people that don't want to work so they take our tax paying money to get benefits so they can continue to stay at home and do nothing. We should do away with it and if you are too lazy to work than you shouldn't eat or you need to get off of drugs and get a job. True or false?
Let me just say if I hear that sentiment one more time I may scream. Yes I know there are people that take advantage of the system. We have all heard of the people in line at the grocery store using food stamps while they are holding their iphone. Honestly, I really don't care.
There are people that are starving in this country. They need help. No the government shouldn't be the ones taking care of these people, the church should. Is the church? Many people of the church are but most are not. Most of the people that are complaining about welfare are people in the church. So there is the answer. If we won't feed the starving someone else needs to and that someone right now is the government. I for one am glad that I'm not the person that makes the decision on who gets to eat and who doesn't.
Sorry child your daddy doesn't have a job so today you don't need to eat. Does this sound right? There are thousands of kids starving in this country. When I went to South Dakota on a mission trip to a reservation we fed a group of kids lunch and the five year old girl I was helping hadn't eaten since lunch the day before. My own children didn't get enough food to eat when they were younger. Their are teenagers in the foster system that still deal with food issues because they went hungry as children. This breaks my heart so much more than the thought of my tax money going to feed the "lazy people."
There are people that can't find a job and are desperate to feed their families. There are people dealing with addictions that I can't imagine facing. Where do we draw the line on who gets to eat? Sorry you are addicted to drugs and can't hold down a job so you don't get to eat. Why do we need to be the ones to judge? Why can't we have compassion instead of looking down our noses at those less fortunate than us. Why can't we be the ones feeding these people? Personally I would rather have two thousand people take advantage of the system than one person be starving.
Matthew 25:40 The King will reply, Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.
