I have never been rich. Does that mean I am poor?

Some people get dealt shitty hands. I am a poker player. It's how you play the cards that matters. But if you are standing on an off ramp begging for money, sorry, I got no sympathy for you.

You don't really need 3 meals a day. And you don't really need healthcare, you have God's own universal health plan - your immune system.

That comes in handy when you are dumpster diving. Food shouldn't be a problem in the US. That is one thing there seems to be an abundance of. The food banks here can't seem to give it all away.

Exactly. So we already have universal healthcare and starvation has already been solved. No wonder we're worried about gay marriage.

'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'


40"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

Charity must be given freely and willingly. Coersive confiscation and redistribution of wealth is not charitable.
"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995

Were you coerced into paying into Social Security and Medicare or did the Feds just confiscate it?

You forgot...The poor you will always have with you.
Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

It needed a final choice. - It doesn't matter if your poor or rich as long as you have the choice to do with what little or how much money you have.
