Not even the disabled?

I understand what he's trying to say, as crass as it sounds. What was meant was:

We the people do not have a financial obligation to help those in need. If there are those who need help, they can get it from their own families so that our tax money doesn't go to fakers. For those without family, there are plenty of charities that can be of assistance, such as Meals On Wheels.

Very well worded, Alcerus. Thank you. ^

Do either of you have a family? Are we not a community in our cities and towns and do we not help each other? Do we not have an American family?
Your stipulation that charities and families will help feed and clothe all kids, disabled and mentally and physically challenged is simply impossible. We must as a country help those in real need, especially the children. Are either of you Christians?

It's MY money. If I want to help someone with MY money, I will go to the store and buy food, water and clothing for them with MY money. If I'm financially unable to help people, or if my care is low, I shouldn't be forced to give away a chunk of my pay to an organization that will only use 10% of it to actually pay for necessities for those in need.

My religion has nothing to do with this, when I see someone who appears to legitimately need help, I will help them. Do you want $99 dollars out of the $100 that you give to go towards paying the organization and bottom feeding parasites that aren't really in need of help, or does it make more sense to have ALL of that money go directly to someone in need as is the case when you buy and deliver the necessities yourself?

"As you do for the least of them you also do unto me". I rest assured that you help the less fortunate to the tune of thousands of dollars every year. Bless you my son🤝

Yawn

Also, seniors. But there’s some overlap there with the category of health problems, obviously. My dad’s parents are inching toward 90 and can no longer adequately take care of themselves. My grandpa is recovering from a mild stroke and is physically very weak, and my grandma has Alzheimer’s. I have to say, I didn’t realize how much we neglect seniors until I witnessed how hard my parents have had to work to try and find affordable care for them, and they’re not out of the woods yet. They’re still trying to find more affordable housing than the place they’re in now, but there just aren’t enough options around here. It’s horrible, really.
