If you take from me to give to someone else, it is theft. There is no other explanation and it is NOT freedom.
Statistics prove that conservatives give more time and money to charity (church donations primarily) than “progressives”.
Progressives claim to care about the poor but, don’t give as much as those who are opposed to government mandated charity.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse University professor Arthur C. Brooks is about to become the darling of the religious right in America — and it’s making him nervous.
The child of academics, raised in a liberal household and educated in the liberal arts, Brooks has written a book that concludes religious conservatives donate far more money than secular liberals to all sorts of charitable activities, irrespective of income.

Professor Says Conservatives Give More to Charity

We should be taxed to keep our nations infrastructure up and running. That’s common freaking sense and the extent to what a government should do in taxation, anything else is socialism, the nanny state.
We should not be taxed to help any individuals financially. That should be a FREE CHOICE.
Progressives have an agenda that barely includes the poor anymore. The poor is their "front" to bait the ones who care. Their agenda is pure socialism, in all its extremes, including eventually, a necessary rewrite of the US Constitution, because it will not work for their schemes.
Currently, Progressives are trying to disenfranchise freedom of religion in our nation, and they are gaining popularity with this, by pointing consistently to hypocrites in the mix.
Having grown up in Christianity, I am saddened that we live in such a harsh society, personally. That the Left, who wants total freedom to live morally lawless, can bring about their desire by holding the lawful’s feet to the fire.
The majority of lawful Americans need more Grace and less law. Instead, we are getting more law. Thanks, Libs.
