well according to you, We should all give half of our paychecks to your so called poor and needy. This isn't a contest to see who give the most. It's a struggle to come up with ideas to get the people out of the predicament that they find theirselves in. You know the adage......Give a man a fish and feed him for a day....teach him to fish and feed him for a lifetime? Let's teach the people to feed and clothe themselves instead of just giving handout after handout after handout. That does nothing but breed laziness and the expection of entitlements that are meant to HELP, not to provide a way of life. I promise it'll be cheaper for You and me.

If you want to give half of your paycheck to them then fine....it's a free country. Go right ahead. Let me decide who gets my money...because like I said before....I think I can find people who truly need it and help them a lot more than the Gov't making that decision for me and helping people who are just expecting a free handout.
