What America is all about...

Gentle Reader,

I don't know about you but I have had it with those who claim to American Christians (Catholic or Protestant) and yet complain about those 1 in 4 people who live below the poverty level "They take our taxes , because their lazy!" The homeless don't deserve help they just want handouts. I'm a "Republican" and I believe in pulling yourself by your bootstraps" "Those Democrats caused all the problems" There is a expression in Iowa "Hogwash"- look it up!

Let  me once and for all set the record straight! It was the greed of some that has caused the problems that  many of you are now facing. The greed of Wall street, the greed of certain Senators , congressmen, Governors and bureaucrats of all sizes and shapes , War contractors businessmen and women who decided that taking  care of "Number One" was more important that look out for the person who was weaker, less advantaged,  disabled, homeless hungry or in some way needed our help and was ignored. Now we have a president who has come back to where we should have been all along. My Bible tells me that there is enough wealth in the world to feed every man, woman and child, to cure every disease and to eradicate every ill. . . If we would only set aside our petty (yes I said petty) differences and remember what our past president said in 1961 

"To those people in the huts and villages of half the globe struggling to break the bonds of mass misery, we pledge our best efforts to help them help themselves, for whatever period is required--not because the communists may be doing it, not because we seek their votes, but because it is right. If a free society cannot help the many who are poor, it cannot save the few who are rich."

JFK 1961

Comment: It is not a liberal idea or a conservative idea it is a Christian idea!

 If you are so taken to grab all you can get then this country is not for you, If you feel that you have been taxed to death try living in a third world country where the people there would love to make enough to feed their families and have so much left over that they would pay a tax on their excess.

1Ti 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

Wake up America this is you chance to show what you are made of. Pitch in, help out and don't let the greedy get you down.
