Ernie... don't you get it? If more people did what you did to help people, we would not need the government to do it for us. In fact, Churches did and still fulfill this role. But the more the government takes, the harder it is for individuals to help. And the government comes with great inefficiency and huge overhead charges, numbers that make the United Way look heaven sent.

Our first amendment deals with freedom of religion... but this has been effectively squashed by "sectarian" types. So, there goes your unencumbered giver to the poor. But this way, government types get to live high on the hog while throwing scraps to the poor. Does it not even remotely bother you that Congress and the Senate have exempted themselves from Obama Care? And many other government types will be exmpted as well since so much is tied to how Senators and Congressmen are paid and compensated for (screw dangling particples).

Dammit, get a grip on how government works! You have no idea.
