All true, obviously. Equally obvious - our citizens are unable to grasp the concept. They are neither moral nor informed. They exhibit the worst traits of humanity: selfishness, greed, envy, pride.

Let us not forget the trickle effect financially. If you expect government to take care of something, homelessness for example, the government has to budget a spending plan for that issue to be taken care of. They have to hire people on government salary to staff and oversee taking care of it. Plus they have to get their cut.

It is ALWAYS cheaper to work together to take care of humane (we are humans after all right? And mostly Christian?) issues for the people to do it together than the government to force funds from everybody to do it.

In essence, expecting the government to fix something that isn’t within their power, according to the constitution, not only gives them power to violate our natural liberties, but it costs us at least twice what it would if we stopped being caught up in materialistic lifestyles.

Absolutely. And this again violates our liberty - if the government takes money to do something for us, we no longer have the liberty to spend that money as we see fit. It truly is a zero-sum game.
