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

Hitler was considered to be on the right, yet his party had socialist in it's name. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52327901 Think laterally, think outside the box. We are pretending rich people have an advantage for the sake of ego at the moment, will handle egos later... Not a matter of being rich versus poor. Most of us will never be "rich" in the world's material things...the important issue is to be RESPONSIBLE, ACCOUNTABLE, PRODUCTIVE AND TAKE CARE OF OUR OWN RESPONSIBILITIES...not to be leeches off other people...that is robbery. None are bigger leeches than the rich, who most likely acquired their riches off exploiting the working class. The working class actually produces the wealth, the rich just leech off it. We are leeching off mother earth, mother earth is concious, the rich though take more than the poor. The wealthy need to be more humble and have more respect for and appreciation for the actual creators of wealth... |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 18138793 Ireland 01/09/2014 05:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't get it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 52248045 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? You've really answered your own question without realising it OP. I've highlighted the parts of what you're really saying. What does this remind you of? Where we spend on something that (apparently) gives no return, yet we keep them in miserable squalid conditions, only then to engage in a massive cull in what's considered a 'humane' manner? That's right...i know you're with me now..:-) Farming...cattle....harvesting. The end result of farming cattle is to consume their flesh. The end result of mass famine and unemplyment is the harvesting of personal dignity and consumption of people's power. It's all farming and harvesting. There's no luxury in it for those being farmed - whether people or cows. If everyone on earth was unemployed there would still be this system - just on a mass scale. Kept on the breadline...barely surviving, certainly not thriving. Those of us who are employed unfortunately are in no better situation (unless mega elite rich!)- on the face of it seems like a different position from the poor but the employed are harvested and farmed for similar gain. Whether employed or unemployed, global poli-tricks is running one helluva successful farm. |

Like being so spiritually bankrupt, you espouse someone else's life of selflessness as a reason to only be moderately selfless yourself? Selflessness....you make no sense. To leech off others is pure selfishness and robbery. Have you read the parable about Lazarus the leech and the rich man? “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” Matthew 25:41-46 I know that story, probably better than you. My point is that the able bodied, those who are capable, SHOULD be responsible for themselves. There are people in need of help, and we are to help those....but those who are ABLE are to be responsible, productive and accountable and not leech off others. As I have repeatedly said, take the bible as a whole...don't just jerk out a verse here and there without understanding the context with which it was given. The title of this tread is repugnant, that´s what I'm saying. And yes, some systems indeed create a welfare dependency that demoralizes and kills the incentive of being a productive citizen, but the dependent are as much victims and prisoners of the system. Bottom line is that some Christian hypocrites tries to reconcile Jesus with Ayn Rand, or tries to reconcile their hate for The Other with the teachings of Jesus. "Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. Ezekiel 16:49 vedklyvare |

Silverfinger User ID: 48152706 United States 01/09/2014 05:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Apparently the gentlemen that found error in the word of God believes not the message Jesus spoke to his disciples which holds true to the end of the age. The rich young ruler is a lesson we are all to adhere to even though you say it was for that young man only......lets see what Jesus says about that shall we? Matthew 19:23 Then Jesus said unto his disciples, verily i say unto you, that a rich man shall hardly enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. So from what you are saying is the rich young ruler was the ONLY reference Jesus was making concerning the Rich? Maybe we need to read further on.... Matthew 19:27 Then Answered Peter, and said unto Him, behold, we have FORSAKEN ALL and followed thee: what shall we have therefore? Again you said the disciples held onto their wealth......looks like your wrong again. Matthew 19-29-30 And EVERYONE that hath forsaken houses, or brethern, or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children shall receive an hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life. Wow i found more information that says forsake all and follow God.....well maybe you are an exception to the word of God because like the rich young ruler you are upset to let it go and follow Jesus. Now after tearing your argument down about your opinion on how the scripture should read and what it really says. You can either continue to deny Christ and his words or pick-up your cross and follow him to eternal life. Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth unto life and FEW be there that find it. |

Quoting: BRIEF I remember the first time I saw public housing in the early 80s. GovCo built a really nice neighborhood for these people. Within a year, at least half of the units had boarded windows. Was amazing to drive by every few weeks and see the deterioration. Same here. Subsidized houseing is always trashed. If you have affordable rental even you have to be careful of whom you rent to and we do not even have a Black Culture here. People do not treat things with respect when they do not own them. They don't care. Just wreck shit. I have a secondary suite on my place. Haven't rented it in mnths. I only charge 600mnth so when I run the ads all I get is people on Welfare and Pensions of some type cause most recieve only about 820.00 out here. By the time they pay their rent they have no money left over and then they are looking to borrow off you. Mooch and steal anything for the pawn shop. People that are perpetual state of need NEVER have enough ever. They take take take what they can get their hands on. Most I find are their by choice. Most of these people could be out working but chose not to. Too hard to work. Take the check and then take from everybody else. |
