Taking from one person and giving it to another against his will is the same as stealing.

There will always be poor people because in our society there will always be those who don't save for the future or those who spend everything they get as soon as they get it.

And I don't buy this idea that we have so many that are without food because all you have to do is keep your eyes open and you'll discover that there are more fat people in Walmart then ever before.

Many of the homeless are in that shape because of their own choices. They could choose to work or save their money or they could choose to drink or take drugs. Usually they are poor because they chose the latter.

I don't think we should continue to increase the debt by taking care of people who are less blessed then the rest of us because there are better ways to do it.

How about asking for donations. Americans have always been a generous people. How about keeping your friggen hands out of my pocket and asking for gifts rather then forcing people to give up what they need during these times of economic hardship. I still have to pay for ever increasing gas prices, property taxes, income taxes, sales tax, higher food prices, the list goes on and on.

We need to start paying back the debt instead of increasing it and we sure as hell don't need to turn more of our hard earned money over to the government who I am sure will misuse it. If anything the last few years the government has been shown to be a disorganised and corrupt entity. Why should we trust them to do it right?

Many of the states to include mine were in the red a few years ago and what was the first thing they knew they had to do to reverse it? They cut 400,000 off of Tenncare. They cut entitlements. They also started a state lottery. We were millions in debt and at least for a while were in a surplus. That is until this year and our Governor started spending too much again. He wants to spend millions on a entertainment bunker in the mansion. He's having to lay off 2000 state government employees to pay for it.
