It's amazing to me how Anerican Christians-almost exclusively Republican, American Christians- will complain about tax money going to help feed the poor, and will support ending that help, but then they never put forth the effort to unify their vast resources to address the need themselves, thereby, eliminating the possibility of tax money going toward helping feed the poor. If GOP Christians are worried about "socialism," eliminate the possibility by doing it yourselves.
"When a man strips another of his clothes, he is called a thief. Should not a man who has the power to clothe the naked but does not do so be called the same? The bread in your larder belongs to the hungry. The cloak in your wardrobe belongs to the naked. The shoes you allow to rot belong to the barefoot. The money in your vaults belongs to the destitute. You do injustice to every man whom you could help but do not." Basil the Great
"Whatever you have done to the least of these you have done to me." Jesus
