A Greg Delany

The President and our Congress act with injustice when they spend other peoples tax dollars to satisfy their desire to contribute to charity.
It is not the responsibility of government to keep Americans safe, educated and cared for. The government is responsible for the defense of our nation and upholding the Constitution!
The President and members of Congress can dig deep into their own pockets to dole out charity.
Let God’ s children carry the mantle to rescue the widows and orphans!

Tim adds:

Amen Greg!

A number of years ago Amity Shlaes wrote "the Forgotten Man" and restored the original meaning to that phrase. Roosevelt co-opted it to mean "the poor" but in fact it always had meant "those unwilling but forced to underwrite the poor."

I myself wrote about this concept years ago at American Thinker.

The reality is government "charity" is anything but, and it actually steals from those who seek to fulfill the mandate of God by forcibly removing money from the unwilling to give to those who may or may not deserve it.

To quote George Washington:

" Government is not reason, it is not eloquence — it is force.” Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master". How can government "charity" be a good thing when a crime must be committed to perform said act in the first place? It's very presupposition is evil, that the State may forcibly take money from one man to give to another deemed more worthy by said State. And if the forgotten man says no they will kill him.

That is not charity. It is armed robbery.
