Vibrant Capitalism (fueled by low tax rates) is the best catalist to a strong economy. A strong economy equals increased tax revenues (which should be the goal anyway) and more money for the governemnt to help the truely needy.<br /> <br />In order to grow government and services the liberals will use a ridiculous definition of "poverty". According to the definition of "poverty" there are now 43 million Americans classified as poor. How do they live according to the census bureau?<br /><br />3 out of 4 have air conditioning.<br /><br />50% have a computer<br /><br />3 out of 4 have cable or satellite <br /><br />typical family has 2 color TVs,a VCR, DVD player.<br /><br />1 out of 3 has a wide screen TV<br /><br />only 1 out of 70 is homeless<br /><br />only 1 out of 10 lives in a trailer, the rest live in homes or apartments.<br /><br />only 1.3% of all children experienced "low food security".<br /><br />99% of "poor" children did not skip a single meal during 2009 because of lack of financial resources.<br /><br />If you want to see how the poor and elderly really live in adverse conditions go to a socialist country. A country where because of big government the GDP is low, unemployment high and standrads of living for everyone much lower.<br /><br />The Democrats continue to promote programs that cause the very problems they claim to want to solve. But to them it is all about increasing the size of government.kantstanzyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234428527135811367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-26379461326859878052011-08-01T12:53:25.863-04:002011-08-01T12:53:25.863-04:00That book is far newer than the Bronze Age and cer...That book is far newer than the Bronze Age and certainly provides a better moral compass than any contemporary work. As for choosing sides in the argument, both points being made are correct. The error is in choosing to ignore one side over the other. A truly moral solution will require implementing significant changes to government at all levels that return government to the basic functions for which God ordained it, i.e., providing security for the people, along with insuring social, legal, and economic justice for all.Jessenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4725878808007834058.post-30775277125065272762011-08-01T11:17:29.253-04:002011-08-01T11:17:29.253-04:00I think we shouldn't be looking for our moral ...I think we shouldn't be looking for our moral compass from a book written in the Bronze Age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
