so you don't think your tax money should be used to help those in need? GOD blesses America with great wealth and you would withhold help for the poor and needy? You would fit right in at Sodom and Gomorrah. You would not help her because she didn't live anywhere near you.

"“’Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy." Ezekiel 16:49
And if you know most tax money go to Vatican you have to protest it so the poor get more

use my whole quote. "It is sad you make up excuses for not wanting to help those in need. I think every Senior making under $50,000 a year should get food stamps. "
I just figured out the crux of both your problems. First, being poor and needy is not one and the same. It is our right, responsibility and joy to help the poor. However, able-bodied people who refuse to work are not poor, they’re degenerate, parasitic dirtbags.

Secondly, you have a god complex. You think you’re better than the poor, but nothing could be further from the truth. You would be wise to seek their wisdom.

So you have decided "I'm able-bodied people who refuse to work are not poor, they’re degenerate, parasitic dirtbags."?

I have said before, everything you have is from the hand of GOD. If someone has less than you or is a difficult position, stop blaming them. You sound like Job's friends.

Go to

trump ode to the corporation the Marshall report

i can not open it because forgot my email password

according to my friend, election fraud was happening for long time in 2018 president Trump make executive order to investigate but ignore by Washington DC

why

according to my friend, the reason is that Trump is foreign president, not Washington DC president

and Washington DC, London, Jerusalem is belong to vatican

that we need to protest if you want to help the poor

so we don’t need to send 2,2 trillions US dollar to vatican and we have extra 2.2 trillion a year to help the poor and elderly

That’s correct, and if I choose to do so, I too can be an able-bodied parasitic welfare recipient dirtbag, and everything I receive will be from the hand of God. Now do you think that would please God in the slightest?

“‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. (Republicans) They were haughty and did detestable things before me. (Democrats) Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. Ezekiel 16:49-50....GOD required the government to care for the poor and needy.
God certainly does require governments to apply the 'Golden Rule' to the people they are over.

There is a BALANCE that God requires = Justice & Mercy

the Democrats have corrupted this BALANCE

It's the republicans who want to cut Social Security and Food Stamps, taking money out of the hand of the poor and middle class

JUSTICE & MERCY are on opposite sides of the same Scale that is held in the Hand of God

Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of sins against humanity.

If you remove Justice then the wicked continue in their ways.
If you remove Mercy then all will be judged and condemned.
If you Balance the Two, then Righteousness rejoices in the Streets of the Cities and echoes throughout the Countrysides.

Also see Ecclesiastes 10:2 which applies today as well. A clear distinction between the left and the right in general terms.

2A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
“Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’
“And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’
“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:42-46....

remember this when a politician wants to cut Social Security, Medicare or Food Stamps. If you support them, you might join them.
I agree about helping the poor, but...
All these things are the responsibility of the Church. God has called us to serve Him, not goof around with the Philistines like Samson did. We serve the True King, not Caesar. Leave Roman politics to the politicians of Rome.

Matthew 22:21
“They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.”

As much as possible, be at peace with them, but don't wallow in their mire.

It's good. It's good. Just chill before the tax payers hang people. They love money. They wouldn't give if it was the church either. Or they already could. There's plenty of charities to give to. The love of money is the root of all evil.

Some people think of these verses when it comes to social programs.

But I heard an academic researcher on the radio say that in his research, he saw that as a percentage of income, conservatives give way more than liberals, surprisingly even to environmental causes, and conservative evangelicals on average give way much more. This was probably 15 years ago or so I heard about this.

Some people think the government is supposed to solve social issues, and vote left-wing, and think those who vote for conservatives are greedy and evil, while they themselves give a smaller proportion of their income than the conservatives they look down on.

Jesus taught about giving to the poor. I do not see where He taught the people to lobby the government in Rome to give food to the poor.

Social Security, Medicare, and food stamps are all forms of socialism, which is government-mandated "charity". Although they mimic the care Christians are to show for our fellow believers and, to some degree, for all people, they are not inherently expressions of Christian faith because there is no personal choice whether to participate and little personal accountability for the recipients. If biblical principles were applied to government subsidy programs, there would be a lot fewer people receiving aid... and fewer people trying to get it.
Pretty much yes bro. Just becomes another gov't power and money grab, and ends up being the preferred way to bribe the voting populace. Not to mention the gov't (the people actually) going inevitably bankrupt.
