If poor people don't contribute to the economy at all, why do we still keep them alive?

[/quote] I know you're smarter than the shit you often type, so I'm just going to say this. Bible says that if you are rich now, you've received your eternal blessing. And rich is far less prosperity than you think it is. [/quote] No, you misunderstand. If you worship wealth then you have received your reward already...there is nothing noble or holy about being intentionally poor. In fact, it's a sin. if you were given talents from God and you waste them, that's a slap in the face to Him. [/quote] You must have missed the rich young ruler who kept every single commandment, and Jesus told him he lacked only selling all he has, and giving to the poor, and then following Jesus to his cross. Try again Creflo. [/quote] He did not manage God's wealth for God's sake. He did it wrong. [/quote] No, he didn't manage HIS OWN wealth. IF he had dumped it he could have had God's wealth too. Jesus laid down his life because he could take it up again, if the wealthy are so smart and deserve what they have, then they should have no problem getting it all back. [/quote] That's right, I give my wealth away all the time and it keeps coming back... [/quote] just as long as the arent brown or black [/quote] I didn't ask color the year I gave to the girl with leukemia, although I don't recall you participating in that fund raiser either... Nor did I ask color when I bought a water heater for a Canadian GLP'er that same Christmas, and still didn't see you around to help. I can give more examples if you like. [/quote] yeah man shoot us those links i'll wait. (and dont pretend that you dont have a disdain for colored folks....this isnt our first day here...) [/quote] I don't owe you anything. Mock all you want, troll all you want, I laugh at your bitterness and stupidity :) [/quote]

I don't get it.
Poor people hardly earn enough in their lifetimes to contribute to consumerist economy, let alone government taxes.
They sure don't create jobs.
And yet the government spends billions to keep millions of people alive on welfare.
Why keep them alive in misery for the rest of their lives?
Wouldnt it be more humane if we just eliminated the poor from the face of the earth?
