the steps of saul...

[budgetaudio6]

many good posts here, Im glad the bickering has ended. Yes this country was founded with christian principles.

Charity should be the responsibility of the people. Not the government. Lest any should become lazy because of regulations against work and losing bennies.

Any man that does not work, neither should he eat. If a man is able to work he should.

Im forgetting the other posts i read. But we still havent gotten to the steps of saul, now known as paul as his name was changed when he converted. I think it calls for a different thread with the heading "The steps of Paul" But would that be defeating the purpose of this thread.

And sorry for my part in bringing politics into this thread after my admonition against it.

Founded on Christian principles? I thought it was founded on the concept that people would have religious freedom to believe what they wanted to without the gov interference.

Not sure what you are talking about when you say people would be encouraged not to work for welfare.... Since the welfare reform act in 96/97, recipients receiving aid are require to work or be involved in job training. I'll be the first to admit the system isn't perfect, but that is no reason not to recognize the facts.

Something to think about...

"Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is."

Because you worked hard and insisted on fair and strong compensation.

My generation has bought into all of the sanctimonious hooey that Budgie believes. We want to lick boots and run at Massas heels for shiney trinkets and shallow flattery. We don't want the bosses money, we want his love and respect.........The rest we trust in the Fairytale Ghost to provide........Meaning most of us won't have a pot to piss in when we get old.

But, Boy Howdy how richly the likes of Mitt & Co. will reward themselves.

Brings Creedence to mind;

"Some folks are born silver spoon in hand,
Lord, don't they help themselves, oh.
But when the taxman comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale, yes,

It ain't me, it ain't me, I ain't no millionaire's son, no.
It ain't me, it ain't me; I ain't no fortunate one, no."
